This backing gave Syqe financial muscle and strategic reach—but also raises reputational and strategic risks, given tobacco’s fraught public perception in the health space. Imagine if McDonald’s bought into a regenerative kale farm. The cash infusion could scale production, but people would always wonder if the lettuce was being served with a side of fries. 

The core technology (PauseM®) is based on inducing a “paused” or “suspended animation” state in Black Soldier Fly (BSF) neonates so that they can survive transportation with extended shelf life before being revived, fed and grown for animal feed. They also have a partnership with Hermetia Baruth GmbH (Germany) for joint production / distribution of PauseM in Europe.

Wastewater treatment plants are a hidden source of greenhouse gas emissions, releasing methane, nitrous oxide, and fossil CO₂. A new study calls for smarter monitoring and tailored emission factors. U.S. firms like Jacobs, AECOM, and Black & Veatch are key players in building climate-resilient wastewater infrastructure.

While enzymatic recycling offers hope for managing existing plastic waste, scientists and environmental advocates agree it must be paired with the development of bio-based plastics—materials made from renewable biological sources like corn starch, sugarcane, or algae. Unlike conventional plastics derived from fossil fuels, bio-based alternatives can dramatically reduce carbon emissions at the production stage and are often compatible with closed-loop recycling.

MethaneSAT’s development marked a shift in how environmental data is collected and shared. Unlike many state-run satellites whose data is restricted or delayed, MethaneSAT was created to provide rapid, open-access emissions data to encourage faster policy responses and regulatory action.

SpaceX has taken steps to address concerns, including darker satellite coatings and directional signal shielding. But critics argue that without enforceable global standards, voluntary measures may not go far enough. Meanwhile, scientists at SETI and other institutions continue developing tools to protect the last wild frontier: the cosmic spectrum.

It was too early to tell if the strawberries, raspberries, grapes and honeyberries fared better with some shade, as they typically don’t produce a full crop in their first year. But the fruit plants under the panels appeared to establish well, Nair said.

Nylon’s dirty little secret? It sticks around. From fishing nets to yoga pants, nylon takes decades to degrade—especially in oceans—choking marine life and clogging ecosystems. But a Korean research team has just pulled off a sustainability moonshot: a new polyester-amide (PEA) plastic that acts like nylon, but disappears like magic—breaking down 92% in real ocean water within a year.

The deployment of a nuclear power plant on the Moon raises questions about the legal frameworks governing space activities. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty, signed by over 100 countries including China, Russia, and the United States, stipulates that celestial bodies are not subject to national appropriation and must be used exclusively for peaceful purposes.

“We are building an advanced elastocaloric device that can replace today's harmful cooling systems and have a measurable impact on climate goals,” Tušek says.

Brevel has pioneered a unique method of cultivating microalgae by combining light with sugar-based fermentation in indoor bioreactors. Traditional fermentation, typically conducted in the dark, produces microalgae efficiently but lacks key nutrients that depend on light exposure. By integrating light into the fermentation process, Brevel enhances the nutritional profile, functionality, and overall commercial viability of microalgae-based proteins.

Perhaps the area that suffers from generated content the most is education. The students tend to look for simpler solutions when writing different types of work. In turn, teachers need tools that would help them calculate the generated content of coursework and diploma papers.

? BEER:  Spirulina, a blue-green algae superfood packed with protein, copper, and B vitamins, is growing in popularity among international brewers. RedDot Brewhouse, located next to the Singapore Botanical Gardens, offers a spirulina-infused lager.
