In an innovative approach that transforms an environmental problem into a sustainable solution, Denmark is repurposing excess heat from data centers to warm thousands of homes. Instead of wasting energy, projects led by tech giants like Microsoft and Meta are channeling this heat through advanced heat pumps into local district heating networks — reducing carbon emissions and providing stable home heating.
As coral reefs teeter on the brink—battered by climate change, pollution, and overfishing, the world stands to lose not just vibrant underwater landscapes, but entire ecosystems that sustain marine life and millions of people. Enter Coral Vita, an ambitious startup that’s flipping reef restoration on its head by growing coral on land using a mix of cutting-edge techniques like microfragmentation and assisted evolution—dramatically accelerating coral growth and boosting resilience in warming seas.
As Indian farmers grapple with the compounded pressures of climate change, soil degradation, and dwindling resources, a quiet digital revolution is taking root in the country’s fields. A partnership between two companies—Zuari FarmHub and CropX Technologies—is delivering real-time soil intelligence to the palms of farmers’ hands, helping them irrigate more efficiently, fertilize more wisely, and ultimately grow more with less.
As aviation continues its relentless expansion, balancing flight safety with wildlife protection remains one of the field’s most stubborn challenges. But a recent innovation—a robotic falcon that merges cutting-edge technology with natural predator behaviour, is offering a novel, perhaps transformative, solution.
In a scene that mirrors the always-on, real-time connectivity of human communication, it's now possible to record every flap of a bird’s wing or the tiniest stir of an insect. This isn’t a science fiction scenario. It’s the unfolding reality of a new generation of remote sensing systems. These tools are revolutionizing the way we track animals, not just to push the boundaries of technology, but to protect and understand the biological diversity that sustains life on Earth.
