Cities that fine-tune the timing of stoplights to prioritise safety — extending yellow phases or adjusting sequences to discourage speeding and red-light running — are seeing safer intersections with minimal cost or backlash.

A recent Carbon Brief study shows China’s carbon dioxide emissions have remained unchanged or declined for 18 straight months, thanks in part to a surge in solar (+240 GW) and wind (+61 GW) capacity and a 5% drop in transport emissions.

Scientists at TU Wien have developed a non-toxic “deep-eutectic” solvent that separates blended fabrics — like cotton-polyester mixes — within minutes. Cotton stays intact and polyester is recovered almost fully, offering a near-complete recycling method for textiles that were once nearly impossible to reclaim.
