Tigris River oil spill highlights Iraq’s environmental oversight and our addiction to oil

A fresh oil spill in the Tigris River, filmed by an Iraqi university student, has reignited concern over Iraq's polluted waterways. From ancient Mesopotamia to modern Basra, the country's dependence on oil has come at a steep environmental and human cost, with activists warning that unchecked contamination is putting ecosystems and public health at risk.

Doctor-Led Direct Hair Transplant: What Surgeon Involvement Means for Outcomes

Hair restoration technology continues to evolve, but the surgeon behind the procedure remains the most important factor. Doctor-led hair transplants emphasize careful diagnosis, conservative donor management, natural hairline design, and long-term planning rather than simply maximizing graft counts. By treating donor hair as a limited resource and tailoring each procedure to the patient's future hair loss, experienced surgeons can reduce the need for corrective surgery while delivering more natural, sustainable results.

Data centers in Space? Sophia Space and Apex plan on busing them in

Can data centers really be built in space? Pasadena-based Sophia Space is partnering with Apex to test the idea by launching modular AI computing systems into low Earth orbit in 2027. Using radiation-hardened compute TILEs cooled by passive radiative systems and mounted on scalable satellite buses, the companies aim to prove that edge computing can operate reliably in space. While challenges remain, the project represents an important step toward distributed orbital computing networks that could support everything from climate monitoring and pollution tracking to autonomous spacecraft navigation in an increasingly crowded orbital environment.

6 Ways Landlords Can Improve Cash Flow from Eco Rentals

Want your rental property to pay the mortgage? Build a sustainable home that practically advertises itself. From solar-heated hot tubs and energy-efficient appliances to pet-friendly yards and Nordic-style saunas, eco-conscious upgrades can justify higher rents, attract better tenants, and reduce costly vacancies. This guide explores practical ways landlords can improve cash flow without major renovations, including working with property managers, adjusting rental rates strategically, reducing operating expenses, and uncovering new revenue streams. Whether you're running an Airbnb, a vacation cabin, or a long-term rental, sustainability isn't just good for the planet—it can be good for your bottom line. A greener property often becomes a more profitable one.

Is your shawarma wrapped in forever chemicals? The hidden microplastics in street feed

Shawarma is one of the world's most popular street foods, but the greatest health risk may not be the meat, pickles or tahini. Scientists are increasingly concerned about PFAS "forever chemicals" and microplastics that can migrate from food packaging into hot, greasy takeaway meals. As awareness grows about hidden toxins in everyday products, even your favorite shawarma wrap may be part of a much larger environmental and public health story.

Self-repairing contact lenses and desalination membranes that fix themselves?

Could the humble contact lens become a sustainability breakthrough? Researchers in Korea have developed a self-healing hydrogel lens that repairs scratches with just one hour of UV light exposure. Beyond reducing waste from disposable contacts, the technology could one day help extend the life of solar panels, water filtration systems, and other plastic-based products.
