One of the biggest challenges in recycling plastic is that there are several kinds of plastic that end up in our bins – and those variations in composition necessitate sorting out waste before processing it. Sorting is expensive and time-consuming, even with tech involved, and it greatly reduces the effectiveness and efficiency of recycling programs.

The Mini lineup is no longer mini and the move to fully electric models isn’t as dynamic as one might hope. The Countryman, the largest of BMW’s British brand, rivals most compact SUVs for size. Our time behind the wheel wasn't big on fun, practicality, or that classic Mini spirit.

In the largest study of its kind, scientists have accurately documented the massive change in animal morphology over the last 1,000 years, with domesticated animals growing larger across the board and their wild relatives becoming smaller. It underlines the true impact of one species in particular – us.

CPR is a technique that has saved countless lives since the modern version was developed in the 1960s. However, it turns out it doesn't work very well in zero gravity, so a team of European cardiologists has been testing alternatives for astronauts.

Minerals such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are very effective sunscreen ingredients, but they can harm coral reefs if used in their non-nanoparticle form. An experimental new sunscreen forgoes the minerals altogether, replacing them with "just-as-effective" plant pollen.

Recycling lithium-ion batteries – whether they're the large ones in your EVs or the small ones in your gadgets – is no easy task, as it requires specialized processes, high heat, and a range of chemicals to achieve. Owing to the complexity and costs involved, many used up batteries are simply sent to landfills.
