Reusing and upcycling clothes is important for reducing waste, but really it is a drop in the ocean. if the fashion industry is going to become carbon neutral, it has to go a lot further and reinvent how it makes its clothes. so, im back on the road — this time to a rural yamagata, area 250 miles north of the capital where it started its weaving inspiration from nature, particularly spiders. scientists at this company have created a way to make a special protein polymer. so, here are the ferme...

The different variants of covid, looking at waste water surveillance, looking at surveillance for pathogens that could cause death and devastation and that can be prevented if we find them earlier and act earlier. in terms of working together in this kind of global cooperation, china was criticised by many for perceived delay in warning the world about covid—i9 when it was first detected. how concerned are you that this new surveillance network could face similar challenges? there are certainl...

To driving the titanic story toward evidence—based research and not speculation. the sea is taking its toll on the wreck. microbes are eating away at it. time is running out to find out what happened on that april night in 1912, when more than a thousand lives were lost. but the scan now freezes the wreck in time and allows experts to pore over every minute detail. the hope is titanic may yet give up its secrets. rebecca morrelle, bbc news. lets take a look at some the other top stories in the...
