Breaking News, Climate Actions, Idea & Innovations

As India accelerates toward an electrified, sustainable future a scientific breakthrough from Bengaluru is positioning the country as a global leader in next-generation energy storage. At the heart of this green revolution lies a humble yet powerful element: sodium. Breaking Free from Lithium: A New Era of Battery Innovation The race to decarbonize transportation, power grids, and off-grid communities has placed enormous pressure on battery technology. While lithium-ion batteries have powered much of the electric age so far, their rising costs, environmental concerns, and supply chain vulnerabilities particularly their dependence on imports from resource-rich regions like China and South America have triggered a global search for alternatives. Now a team of researchers at the ...

Rethinking Flood Control Letting Rivers Roam Freely for a Sustainable Future

Breaking News, Disasters, Fact Check

Traditional flood management relies on higher stop banks, stronger levees, and concrete barriers to contain rising waters. But what if the best solution isn’t to confine rivers but to give them more space to move naturally? This alternative approach is gaining traction as a sustainable method to mitigate flood risks while providing crucial ecological benefits. Climate change is intensifying extreme weather events, making floods more frequent and severe. In places like Aotearoa New Zealand, decades of river confinement through artificial channels and land development have worsened flood risks. Restricting rivers transfers flood dangers downstream, increasing water speed and pressure while disrupting ecosystems that rely on natural water flow. Historically floodplain rivers have been d...
