In two separate incidents Customs officials of Trichy Airport seized gold worth one crore rupees from two male passengers.

Researchers have shown how carbon dioxide from industrial operations or even straight from the air can be gathered and converted into clean, sustainable fuels using just solar energy. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, developed a solar-powered reactor that converts captured CO2 and plastic waste into sustainable fuels and other valuable chemical products. In tests, CO2 was converted into syngas, a key building block for sustainable liquid fuels, and plastic bottles were converted into glycolic acid, which is widely used in the cosmetics industry.

In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and Cardiff University in the U.K. developed an early warning system that combines state-of-the-art acoustic technology with artificial intelligence to immediately classify earthquakes and determine potential tsunami risk.

Certain pesticides, particularly a class called neonicotinoids, are known to impact bees and other important insects, and are thought to be contributing to population declines. However, bees' reported responses to this threat across the world often seem to vary, suggesting other interacting factors are at play.

Dramatic changes to forests, and other habitats that store carbon in plants and soils, are becoming more likely in some regions across Earth, with less carbon consistently absorbed by the 'land carbon sink' provided by trees, soil and plants, according to scientists writing in Nature

According to research published in the journal 'Scientific Reports', the trends in CH4 emissions have varied in the different regions of China over the last nine years, with significant increase trends detected in the NE region and the whole of China.

According to research conducted by the Geological Society of America, a past climatic change is being linked to the extinction of an ancient variety of whales.

The plastic crisis has been an ongoing environmental issue for a long time now. Disposal of plastic is always a difficult task since the material doesn't decompose for a long time. Burning and dumping have been two ways it has been disposed for the time being. However, a team of researchers from Queensland University of Technology has brought up an innovative proposal which prove to be a breakthrough in finding the way out of the Plastic Pollution crisis.

Mountain landscapes all over the world are at risk of becoming more dangerous to populations surrounding them as a result of climate change, while their faster development may bring additional environmental risks to neighbouring areas.

North Carolina [US], September 14 (ANI): According to a recent study that used data from Texas and nearby states, the most popular methods for cutting greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation also have enough positive effects on health to pay for themselves entirely. Although Black and low-income areas also reap benefits, the study found that they nonetheless experience greater levels of air pollution and its associated health impacts.
