The BBC's groundbreaking nature documentary series Planet Earth turns 20 this year, marking two decades of bringing never-before-seen wildlife moments into our homes. The network just released an hour-long compilation celebrating iconic scenes that changed how we see our world.
Scientists discovered that a common ice cream ingredient can transform excavated dirt into sturdy 3D-printed buildings, potentially keeping tons of construction waste out of landfills. The breakthrough could make sustainable building materials available almost anywhere on Earth.
A 3D printing company that won NASA's lunar habitat challenge is using space technology to create beautiful, strong building panels with 90% less material. The lattice printing method developed for Mars is making construction on Earth more efficient and sustainable.
The groundbreaking nature documentary series Planet Earth is marking its 20th anniversary with a celebration of the most breathtaking wildlife moments ever filmed. Among the highlights: the extraordinary courtship dance of New Guinea's birds of paradise.
A British equipment rental company just made it easier for construction crews to go electric by adding over 100 zero-emission machines to its fleet. The move helps contractors win jobs in cities with strict noise and pollution rules.
A Vancouver pilot program is rescuing plastic waste from construction sites and turning it into components that reduce concrete use by 30 percent. Eight building projects are proving that construction waste can become a resource instead of filling landfills.
Egypt just launched a major initiative bringing together construction leaders, investors, and experts to build a roadmap for low-carbon buildings. The ECOBuild Forum aims to transform Egypt's booming construction sector into a sustainability powerhouse by 2030.
Malaysia is developing the country's first official standards for 3D construction printing, paving the way for faster, cheaper, and more sustainable building projects. The groundbreaking collaboration could position the nation as a regional leader in construction innovation.
Scientists discovered Earth's core contains enough hydrogen to equal 45 oceans of water, suggesting our planet formed with water already inside rather than getting it from comets. This breakthrough helps solve the mystery of where Earth's water really came from.
Scientists discovered two massive zones of superheated rock deep inside Earth that help control our planet's protective magnetic shield. This breakthrough explains mysteries about how Earth stays geologically active and magnetically protected.
Scientists discovered Earth's core may contain up to 45 oceans' worth of hydrogen, making it the planet's largest water reservoir. This finding rewrites our understanding of how Earth got its water during the earliest days of planetary formation.
Japan just made a breakthrough that could end its dependence on imported rare earth minerals. The nation successfully collected rare earth mud from 6,000 meters below the Pacific Ocean near a remote island.
Scientists discovered that a nearby exoplanet in the habitable zone is more Earth-like than they thought. The planet, twice Earth's mass instead of five times, is now a top candidate for potentially supporting life.
Scientists discovered Earth's core contains vastly more hydrogen than all the oceans combined, solving a 4.5-billion-year mystery. This breakthrough reveals our planet has been hiding its biggest hydrogen reservoir right at its center all along.
Scientists say our planet has a better shot at surviving the sun's fiery death than we thought. New calculations suggest Earth could drift to safety as the dying sun loses mass.
