Levis is teaching Gen Z how to repair their clothes –– download all the teacher guides here

Somewhere between TikTok hauls and next-day delivery, we forgot how to fix things. We forgot how to cook without an app and a pre-made box, grow food without a kit, and sew a button back onto a shirt without throwing the whole garment away. Clothing, once stitched with intention (my mother made her ow dresses!), has become disposable. And with it, a quiet loss of skill, patience, and care.

The smell of you, starts at the Voo temple in Berlin

How you create green steel on a blockchain

The thing about raw materials is that once they are melted down, you can't prove the source of the material. Same is true with gold, cucumbers and even forged products that look the same as the real thing. When it comes to steel, and how we produce it, it has a massive carbon problem. What's happening in Japan right now could change how we think about heavy industry and climate action.

China is one step closer to making artificial sun

Nuclear fusion is often described as the holy grail of clean energy: a process that could one day provide abundant power without carbon emissions or long-lived radioactive waste. It has so much promise, but it's difficult. This article on fusion explains why. But turning fusion into a practical energy source depends on solving a set of extremely difficult physics problems. One of the most important is how to keep plasma — a super-hot, electrically charged gas — dense, stable, and confined long enough to produce useful energy.

Heat pumps and why you should get one to save the planet

Heat pumps don’t create heat — they move it. In winter they pull warmth from the air or ground and bring it indoors, and in summer they reverse the cycle to cool. By shifting heat instead of burning fuel, heat pumps use significantly less energy than conventional HVAC systems.

Cat stressed? This Japanese app uses AI to speak to your furry friend

Cats are not like dogs in so many ways. Your dog will nudge you when he's sick. He will mope and make his behavior clear that he's not happy. But cats? The signs of cats being sick or stressed out aren't very clear. And if you've ever visited Japan at a cat cafe or walked the streets you will see how much they adore their cats - giving them treats, special toys, and wheeling them around in baby carriages. Now, they've invented an app to help you know.
