Surprising “photomolecular effect” discovered by MIT researchers could affect calculations of climate change and may lead to improved desalination and drying processes.

The EPA has imposed its first regulations limiting chemicals called PFAS, or forever chemicals, in drinking water. An expert fills you in.

Filtering out PFAS is only the first step. These ‘forever chemicals’ still have to be destroyed, and there are many questions about how to do that safely.

As droughts become more widespread in tourist hotspots, research finds that timers in showers help tourists and university students shorten their showers and save water.

Extreme downpours and droughts, both fueled by rising global temperatures, are taking a toll on water infrastructure. Communities trying to manage the threats face three big challenges.

These chemicals are now found on almost every part of the planet, including in the bodies of a large percentage of the American public. An environmental health scientist explains the risks.

Scientists have linked human-driven climate change to Madagascar’s megadrought. The finding may help policymakers respond to the crisis.

A coastal scientist explains why marshes, mangroves and other wetlands can’t keep up with the effects of climate change, and how human infrastructure is making it harder for them to survive.
