Students create chemical safety model for everyday exposures‎

In just one course, Georgia Tech student Diya Godavarti helped develop a tool that could improve workers' responses to chemical spills or open containers. Godavarti, then a second-year chemical and biomolecular engineering (ChBE) student, joined a course on chemical equity focused on reducing chemical exposure in vulnerable communities. The class, part of Georgia Tech's Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) program, embeds students in long-term research teams that span disciplines and semesters.

New environmental performance index highlights sustainability gains, and the challenges ahead‎

European countries continue to lead the world in environmental performance, according to the 2026 Environmental Performance Index (EPI), a biennial assessment produced by researchers at the Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy and Columbia Climate School's Center for Integrated Earth System Information (CIESIN). Yet, the new assessment finds that few countries are on track to meet the global goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and that progress has slowed across a range of pollution control and natural resource management challenges.

Florida bloom toxins turn up in air, suggesting inhalation risk beyond shorelines‎

Research on Southwest Florida cyanobacterial blooms shows that the toxins they produce are aerosolized and potentially inhaled by people far from contaminated water bodies.

Scientists use relay synthesis to create key building blocks of reserve antibiotic to combat resistance‎

Chemists from Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg have achieved an important research success in the fight against resistant bacteria. The team led by scientist Professor Dr. Dieter Schinzer from the Institute of Chemistry has succeeded in producing key building blocks of the naturally occurring substance Neosorangicin A in the laboratory for the first time. This means it is now possible to develop Neosorangicin A in a targeted manner as a promising reserve antibiotic candidate to combat antibiotic resistance in the future.

Nanoparticles could remove harmful immune molecules from blood‎

The immune system, the body's defense network against infections and injuries, can sometimes become too active. In these cases, it can produce too many immune mediators, fragments of genetic material or proteins that regulate immune responses.

Butterfly experts are planting 15,000 milkweed plants along Florida roadsides to help monarchs‎

If you've driven down two-lane highways in rural parts of North Florida recently, you may have noticed a spate of new signs that designate the grassy knolls bordering the asphalt as wildflower areas. The signs likely feel redundant right about now as thousands of milkweeds produce thick umbels packed full of pentagonal buds and fully developed flowers. Many of these flowers and all the monarchs they attract have the same attention-grabbing orange color as the safety vests worn by workers who carefully planted each milkweed by hand months earlier.

More than 2,700 excess deaths estimated in England and Wales during May and June‎

More than 2,700 people are estimated to have died from heat-related causes during the record-breaking May and June 2026 heat waves in England and Wales, according to a new rapid analysis report led by researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Imperial College London and the Met Office.

Seasonal gene switch locks fruit flies in winter mode‎

Researchers at Washington State University have discovered a molecular "winter lock" that keeps animals in a less active winter state until favorable conditions return, a discovery that could improve pest control and lead to a better understanding of seasonal health conditions in humans.
