More than 500 elementary pupils at seven schools in southeast England joined the University of Surrey's Heat-Cool program, using thermal cameras to capture images across their school grounds and help identify heat hotspots and what might cause them. Their findings showed green and water-based features were typically one to three degrees cooler than surrounding areas.

Researchers have developed a one-step process that converts existing plastics into a new material that degrades significantly faster. The method replaces oxygen atoms with sulfur in the plastic's structure, weakening its molecular bonds. Published in Chem Circularity, the process is described as easily scalable to industrial quantities.
