In the United States, new technologies are being developed to extract valuable materials and isotopes from nuclear waste for use in industry and medicine. The REDUCE project accelerates waste processing, turning what was once a problem into a valuable resource.
Scientists have combined several climate models with isotope support to more accurately track the movement of water across the planet and better predict the impact of global warming on the water cycle.
A new study has revealed that the prolonged drought of the 16th century significantly transformed life on Easter Island, leading to major cultural and social changes. Researchers note that the island's inhabitants demonstrated remarkable resilience, adapting to the harsh climatic conditions.
