Factors such as erosion, dehydration and soil compaction are jeopardizing food supplies for broad swaths of the world's population, according to a study by the University of Bonn, the University of Minnesota, the University of Basel and Hamburg University of Technology. If human-

Gwyn Daniel and Phil Gaunt respond to an article by Nesrine Malik about the horrors taking place in Israel’s prisonsNesrine Malik’s incisive piece (In Israel’s prisons, torture and death have become a norm that it barely tries to hide, 13 July) lays bare the fact that all the ill

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed two processes—hydrodynamic cavitation and cold atmospheric plasma combined with gas dispersion—to break down per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), industrial chemicals that are extremely resistant

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), often referred to as "forever chemicals," are among the most persistent contaminants found in water systems worldwide. Their strong carbon-fluorine bonds make them highly resistant to degradation, allowing them to remain in the environm

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial processes and consumer products because of their resistance to heat, water and oil. However, these same properties also make them highly resistant to environmental de

Tropical moist forests account for 70% of global living biomass. Deforestation and degradation—that is, the partial damage to tree stands—as well as the subsequent regeneration of forests therefore play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle. While the effects of large-scale t
