The paints, coatings, and chemicals making the world a cooler place

App, Artificial Intelligence, Climate change and energy

It’s getting harder to beat the heat. During the summer of 2025, heat waves knocked out power grids in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Global warming means more people need air-­conditioning, which requires more power and strains grids. But a millennia-old idea (plus 21st-century tech) might offer an answer: radiative cooling. Paints, coatings, […]

Four bright spots in climate news in 2025

App, Artificial Intelligence, Climate change and energy, The Spark, Why It Matters

Climate news hasn’t been great in 2025. Global greenhouse-gas emissions hit record highs (again). This year is set to be either the second or third warmest on record. Climate-fueled disasters like wildfires in California and flooding in Indonesia and Pakistan devastated communities and caused billions in damage. In addition to these worrying indicators of our

Researchers are getting organoids pregnant with human embryos

App, Artificial Intelligence, Biotechnology and health

At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses gently into the receptive lining of the uterus and then grips tight, burrowing in as the first tendrils of a future placenta appear.  This is implantation—the moment that pregnancy officially begins. Only none of it is happening inside a

Welcome to Kenya’s Great Carbon Valley: a bold new gamble to fight climate change

App, Artificial Intelligence, Climate change and energy, The Big Story

The earth around Lake Naivasha, a shallow freshwater basin in south-central Kenya, does not seem to want to lie still.  Ash from nearby Mount Longonot, which erupted as recently as the 1860s, remains in the ground. Obsidian caves and jagged stone towers preside over the steam that spurts out of fissures in the soil and

China figured out how to sell EVs. Now it has to deal with their aging batteries.

App, Artificial Intelligence, Climate change and energy

In August 2025, Wang Lei decided it was finally time to say goodbye to his electric vehicle. Wang, who is 39, had bought the car in 2016, when EVs still felt experimental in Beijing. It was a compact Chinese brand. The subsidies were good, and the salesman talked about “supporting domestic innovation.” At the time,
