Swiss scientists have found a simple, low-energy way to recycle acrylic glass into brand-new material.

Researchers at ETH Zurich developed a method that breaks down acrylic glass, known by the brand name Plexiglas, recovering up to 98 percent of it as pure building blocks.

The process uses a single inexpensive chemical, needs no solvents, and runs at about half the heat of previous methods.

Even dyed or impure acrylic produced material good enough to make new products matching the quality of virgin plastic.

Because it works with existing equipment, companies wouldn’t need costly overhauls to adopt it.

ETH Zurich has filed a patent, is seeking industry partners, and hopes to adapt the approach for other common plastics like polystyrene

Since 2020, Azerbaijan has cleared nearly 3,000 km² of landmines, and repatriated almost 40,000 displaced people.

In numbers: 260,147 mines destroyed across Karabakh and East Zangezur, following the end of the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

De-miners used trained rats to help with removal; these animals are smart enough, and light enough, to detect the mines without setting them off.

2026-10-22T22:48:07Z

Dutch military intelligence flipped a Russian GRU hacker in 2017 and used him to reach a Russian server holding screenshots from Jared Kushner's iPhone.

By early 2018, according to Cole, the Dutch had cracked the device themselves and could watch Kushner's screen in real time.

What they saw was *Kushner logging into a UAE bank account stocked with hundreds of millions of dollars routed through a bank in Azerbaijan.*

The Saudi and Emirati royals ultimately put at least $2 billion into accounts tied to Kushner, including roughly $750 million at First Abu Dhabi Bank, where Kushner was a signatory on an account owned by an Emirati charity, and about $1 billion in Israel's Central Bank.

2026-10-18T17:33:05Z

America’s largest private conservation project now has more than 1,000 free-roaming bison for the first time.

American Prairie has spent over 20 years stitching together a reserve in Montana that now spans more than 600,000 acres, which would rank among the 10 largest national parks in the Lower 48 if it were one.

Its annual calf count put the herd at 1,016, a milestone for a species that once numbered in the tens of millions but now survives at a tiny fraction of that.

The news comes on the heels of a legal win, as a federal judge in September blocked the Bureau of Land Management from forcing the group to remove its bison from federal grazing land.

The judge said American Prairie’s argument that conservation is a legitimate use of those lands appeared highly likely to be correct.

Organizers say a herd of 5,000 is very achievable, with room for tens of thousands if they reach their ultimate goal of 3.2 million acres.

The same day the EU lifted the rule-of-law funding curbs it imposed in 2022, releasing €4.2 billion and readmitting Hungary to Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe, with another €12.2 billion still pending Commission sign-off.

2026-10-11T23:50:23Z

More than 14,000 leftover explosives have been cleared from a Libyan city’s farmland, letting displaced families return home.

Demining teams removed 14,066 pieces of unexploded ordnance from a farm in Misratah between January and September this year.

The city saw some of the most intense fighting of Libya’s civil war, including the battle to drive out ISIS, which left behind thousands of mines, shells, and bombs.

These weapons can sit silently for generations before exploding at the slightest disturbance.

The work is being led by the HALO Trust in partnership with the United Nations, Italy, and Libyan groups, and has expanded from Tripoli to Sirte and now Misratah.

“Libyan civilians should not be exposed to such dangers,” said the head of the UN’s mine action program in Libya.

The progress comes after a diplomatic breakthrough in September, when Libya’s rival governments agreed on a roadmap for national elections within a year.

South Korea went from burying almost all its food waste to recycling almost all of it. In 1997, 95.4% went to landfill. Today about 95% is recycled, after a 2005 landfill ban, separate collection and pay-by-weight bins that cut Seoul’s daily food waste by nearly a quarter. The Korean Zero Waste Movement Network, a coalition of more than 180 groups, campaigned for four decades and is now an Earthshot Prize finalist.

Ellison Names LONGTIME EPSTEIN PAL to Board of CNN’s Parent Company

On Tuesday, Paramount officially completed its $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, creating a single megacompany called Skydance.

That puts CNN, CBS News and a whole host of Hollywood studios and TV channels all under the thumb of CEO David Ellison, *the son of billionaire Trump donor Larry Ellison.*

That same day, Ellison announced that Bobby Kotick, who is the former CEO of video game company Activision Blizzard, would serve on the company’s board. The Wall Street Journal reported that Kotick allegedly knew about alleged sexual misconduct at his company for years but refused to act.

However, the most alarming news is *Kotick’s lengthy history with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. According to emails the Justice Department released earlier this year show, both Kotick and Epstein were regularly in touch going all the way back to 2012, including a 2013 invitation from Kotick for Epstein to come to his home for drinks Kotick also emailed back and forth with Ghislaine Maxwell. One chilling exchange showed Kotick and Epstein discussing designing video games that would influence children with both digital and real-world rewards.* #epstein #EpsteinFiles #epsteinclass #jeffreyepstein #kotick #cnn #skydance #paramount #news

2026-10-05T20:55:32Z

A key financial document is being withheld by Kash Patel’s FBI and Todd Blanche’s Department of Justice, in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The missing document is an “FBI 302” report on an interview the bureau conducted with a banker tied to Epstein. Wyden has now demanded that report in a September 30 letter to Patel and Blanche.

Worse, this strongly suggests that the DOJ and FBI are covering up even more documents they are obligated to release under the EFTA.

The FBI is hiding the document “for one reason: to protect the Wall Street banks,” Wyden told Aaron Parnas. Wyden believes it “would help make the case that the biggest Wall Street banks need to be punished for looking the other way … and my view is that Todd Blanche and Kash Patel are covering this up.”

A 12-year-old in Phoenix, Arizona collected 30,000 diapers for a local food bank in her fifth annual Diaper Drive.

Sloan started the drive at age 7 after volunteering at Nourish Phoenix and noticing empty shelves where diapers should be, learning they were among the most requested items and always ran out first.

This year she set a goal of 22,500 diapers, but donations kept coming until there was hardly room to walk in her house, filling an entire U-Haul truck that left food bank employees stunned.

“If we have the ability to give someone something that they might not have or need, it’s really important to do that,” she told ABC 15. Her mom called her “just so special,” saying she “has such a big heart, loves helping and giving back.”

The drive wrapped up at the end of August, and the diapers are now going to families who rely on Nourish Phoenix for food and clothing.

A Wisconsin prison program is having inmates raise and release monarch butterflies, giving them a hands-on way to support a species in decline across the state.

Now in its second year at Redgranite Correctional Institute, the program grew from 20 participants tending 60 caterpillars last year to caring for 100 caterpillars this year, with duties including feeding, tagging, and collecting data that feeds into broader conservation efforts.

Organizer Carrie Jahnke also provides participants with educational materials on monarchs, pollinator plants, and horticulture.

One inmate, Nathan Lecker, said the work lets him reconnect with a childhood hobby while giving back to the community from inside the prison.

The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, which helped build the enclosure, praised the facility for getting involved in monarch conservation.

Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his wife Penny have donated $1 billion to the University of Oregon, reportedly the largest single gift ever made to an American public university.

The donation will let the school move forward with plans for an entirely new college of engineering, addressing what the university says is a shortage of engineers in the state. Knight, who co-founded Nike with his former track coach at Oregon, has already given the university $1 billion in combined gifts over the decades, enough that it’s sometimes nicknamed the University of Nike.

University leaders called the gift a “screaming endorsement” of higher education’s value at a moment when the school is also planning $65 million in budget cuts due to an expected drop in out-of-state enrollment. Knight said the gift reflects his belief that public and private universities remain essential to turning “audacious dreams” into reality.

2026-09-20T23:42:13Z

Christian Bale has opened a long-planned foster care village in California designed specifically to keep sibling groups together.

The facility, called Together California, sits on a 4.67 acre property in Palmdale and includes 12 fully furnished housing units built to address what Bale says is a major failure of the foster system, the routine separation of siblings when they enter care.

Bale and his wife became interested in the issue after the birth of their first daughter, when they began researching what would happen to her in the foster system and learned most siblings are split up.

The $9 million-plus project drew support from the Austrian American Council West and a donation from Leonardo DiCaprio, along with help from LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger in securing the Palmdale location.

Bale says the goal is to give the roughly 12 housing units in Antelope Valley a comprehensive, long-term approach to care, given that Los Angeles County has more children in foster care than anywhere else in the country.

2026-09-20T23:08:54Z

A blind 54-year-old chimpanzee named Pierre can see again after the sanctuary’s first cataract surgery.

Chimp Haven, the world’s largest chimpanzee sanctuary, spent months preparing Pierre for the procedure, using positive reinforcement training so he would voluntarily present his eyes for care even while still blind.

A board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist performed the surgery, and within hours Pierre was responding visually to a longtime caregiver, reuniting with his close companion Jill within days.

Staff say the case reflects the individualized care aging chimps receive at the sanctuary, which was founded in 2000 to house chimpanzees retired from medical research.

Colony director Michelle Reininger, who has known Pierre for over 25 years, said watching him look at her again was something she’ll never forget.

2026-09-20T23:02:01Z

An untouched 600-year-old tomb holding 38 skeletons and elite grave goods has been uncovered at Peru’s Chan Chan site.

The tomb, found within a palatial complex built by the Chimú civilization, contained a central chamber with one individual whose skull bore red pigment, surrounded by two side chambers holding 20 more people along with metal weapons, gold and copper artifacts, jewelry and textiles suggesting an aristocratic burial.

Lead archaeologist Jorge Meneses said prior knowledge of Chimú elite burials came only from looted sites and museum collections, making this the first scientifically documented example.

An outside expert, University of Florida anthropologist Gabriel Prieto, called it “the discovery of the decade” for offering the first undisturbed look at a Chimú elite burial. With just 7 percent of Chan Chan excavated so far, researchers believe the site could yield many more such finds.

2026-09-20T21:48:45Z

About 30 inmates at a Kansas prison donated $4,267 of their own money to wipe out most of their local school district’s unpaid lunch debt.

The men, part of a Norton Correctional Facility chapter of the rehabilitation program Reaching Out From Within, covered the majority of the roughly $6,000 owed by Norton Community Schools families for the 2025-2026 school year *without being asked.*

Superintendent Corey Roy visited the prison in August to accept the donation and says *many of the inmates told him they were motivated by their own childhood experiences with food and economic insecurity*.

Roy says the visit turned into hours of emotional conversation, with some inmates tearing up as they described their pasts, and several who expect to be released soon said they hope to keep giving back once they’re out.

Reaching Out From Within operates chapters in every Kansas prison and typically raises money for causes like domestic violence shelters and homeless shelters, with this lunch debt payoff a rarer, locally driven effort. https://www.today.com/news/good-news/kansas-inmates-help-settle-school-lunch-debt-rcna597492

Hungary’s new government promises to scrap the ban on same-sex adoption.

The country’s prime minister, Péter Magyar, recently promised “we can state unequivocally that we will change this system.” He’s talking about the requirement, in place since 2020, for the family-affairs minister to sign-off on all adoptions, a de facto ban. The European Court of Justice ruled the restriction unlawful under EU law in April 2026.

Kenyan startup builds robotic hands that translate teachers’ voices into sign language.

22 year old entrepreneur Norah Kimathi founded ZeroBionic to help the roughly 300,000 deaf or hearing impaired children in Kenya, many of whom struggle in school because the country lacks a standardized sign language and most teachers do not know how to sign.

Her company builds 3D printed robotic hands from recycled plastic that translate a teacher’s spoken words into sign language in real time, achieving what she says is 92 percent speech to sign accuracy, with 78 units already sold at $350 each.

Since no unified Kenyan or African sign language dataset existed, her team had to build one from scratch, working with deaf teachers and experienced signers using a specialized bodysuit to record sign patterns.

She told AFP, “No one else had built this on the continent. We had to start from scratch,” adding, “We know we’re going to put a smile on someone else’s face.” The company is now developing a full robotic torso called Africa One to expand its vocabulary and accuracy even further.

Homeless man who went viral playing piano in a church has raised $50,000 for charity.

Rhys Wynne-Jones, who had been homeless for 10 years in England, sat down at a piano inside St. Mary’s Church in Penzance one cold January night and played a rendition of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody that a volunteer filmed and posted online, where it went viral. He said, “There is a lot of noise in my head, but when I play piano my head goes quiet, I feel calm.”

Since then he has performed alongside stars like Ronnie Wood and Peter Andre, moved into permanent housing through a Coastline Housing development, and raised more than £40,000, or roughly $54,000, for homeless charities.

He told SWNS, “I don’t see myself as a professional pianist or a celebrity figure. I only need enough money to cover my expenses. I just love to play the piano to raise money for homeless charities and good causes.”

Billion Oyster Project rebuilds NYC’s reefs from restaurant shell waste

A New York City nonprofit called the Billion Oyster Project is turning discarded oyster shells from about 75 partner restaurants into new reefs in the city’s harbor, aiming to eventually restore 100 acres of lost historic reef.

Since launching in 2008, with a goal of one billion oysters by 2035, the project has raised roughly 200 million live oysters on 3.2 million pounds of recycled shells and restored 19 acres of reef, filtering an estimated tens of trillions of gallons of harbor water in the process.

Shells are cured to remove bacteria and invasive species before being seeded with larvae at a hatchery on Governors Island, then trucked out and placed at reef sites once they mature.

Volunteer coordinator Bela Altman called oysters a “keystone species,” and organizers say reaching the billion oyster goal would refresh the entire volume of New York Harbor every three days while helping blunt storm wave energy as climate change intensifies coastal flooding risk.

Sweden and Finland reconnect cross-border rail line after 30 ...

2026-09-07T04:20:03Z

Sweden and Finland reconnect cross-border rail line after 30 years:

A twice-daily train service now links the Finnish town of Oulu with the Swedish town of Haparanda, marking the first time in three decades that travelers could cross that border by train.

The new route, arranged between Finland’s Transport and Communications Agency, national railway VR, and its Swedish subsidiary, is meant to boost tourism and business in the remote northern regions of both countries.

Norrtåg CEO Joakim Berg said the link is “creating new opportunities for people to travel, work, study and visit one another across the border,” and much of the Finnish network is electrified, letting trains run from Helsinki to Haparanda without diesel.

Because Sweden and Finland use different rail gauges, a specially divided bridge allows trains from each country’s system to arrive and depart at the shared station, where passengers can transfer to regional lines further into Sweden.

Man’s viral 100 day litter cleanup transforms a NYC block

A young New Yorker named David felt “powerless” about the litter covering his block in Washington Heights, so he bought bags and a grabber stick and pledged on TikTok to clean one block every day for 100 days.

The project went viral and revealed what David called a community “hungry for change,” with neighbors joining him to pick up trash, push city officials for cleaner streets, and build small fenced flower beds around the sidewalk trees.

Local businesses began donating plants, lumber, and equipment, and David has spent roughly $2,000 of his own money on fencing and gardening supplies. He said the flowers do double duty, since “litter can kill plants, but plants can also teach people not to litter,” noting people notice when flowers that haven’t been there in decades suddenly die.

What started as a solo effort has since pulled David as far as the mountains upstate searching for native plants for the beds.

2026-09-01T04:23:05Z

Fisherman Jack Gardner caught a 745 pound Atlantic bluefin tuna off Whitby on Britain’s northeast coast, marking the first bluefin tuna caught in the North Sea in 60 years and coming within about 112 pounds of a fishery record.

The catch is being treated as *strong evidence that careful fisheries management has revived a fish stock that collapsed decades ago due to overfishing of both tuna and their herring prey*.

University of Exeter researcher Dr. Lucy Hawkes said the tuna’s size signals an exceptionally healthy underlying ecosystem, since bluefin tuna are top predators that can only thrive where the food web beneath them is intact.

She credited the recovery to strict catch limits kept small relative to overall fish populations, noting that a separate tuna population her team tags and monitors off England’s southwest coast may have entirely different origins from the one caught near Whitby.

Pakistan has created a new wildlife sanctuary spanning 123 miles ...

2026-08-30T23:05:52Z

Pakistan has created a new wildlife sanctuary spanning 123 miles of the Indus River to protect the endangered Indus River dolphin, connecting it with an existing protected area in neighboring Sindh Province to form roughly 249 miles of continuous protected habitat.

Around 2,000 Indus River dolphins are believed to remain, split across three separated stretches of the river, and the species has suffered major habitat loss from dams and irrigation projects tied to Pakistan’s economic development.

The World Wildlife Fund, which has worked on the dolphin’s conservation since the 1990s, will help develop a management plan for the new sanctuary alongside the Punjab and national governments.

Because the dolphin is an apex predator in the river system, conservationists say protecting it should help preserve the health of the broader riverine ecosystem as well.

2026-08-24T00:55:01Z

More than 110 million Chinese citizens live and work abroad, so elderly parents left behind in rural areas often go without regular contact,

39-year-old former courier Tian Rui set out to resolve this issue using his old delivery routes through the mountains of Yichang Province, Hubei. After years of building close relationships with rural residents while delivering parcels, Tian began acting as a paid middleman for their children overseas, making over 200 trips to bring groceries, medications, and birthday cakes, or simply to sit and have tea with seniors whose kids can’t visit, including one client as far away as Bolivia.

He charges nothing for short trips and only asks for fuel reimbursement on longer ones, and documents each visit on video to send back to the family, work that Tian says matters most because “what they really want is to know their children are thinking of them and to have someone to talk to.”

In one case, video he sent a family last December turned out to be their final glimpse of an elderly relative, who died four months later, while other visits capture moments of surprising vitality, like a 100-year-old woman who insisted he stay for dinner and told him stories about all 16 of her grandchildren.

Tian’s visits have gone viral on Chinese social media, earning him recognition as a “family bridge” for isolated rural elders who routinely ask him when he’ll come back next.

Last week, Australian courts recognised the Eastern Kuku Yalanji’s native title over a vast stretch of their ancestral Country in Cape York, including the remaining parts of the Daintree (Earth’s oldest surviving rainforest, 180 million years old).

It’s the result of a decades-long process involving more than 100 family groups who joined forces to prove their claim. Two days later the neighbouring Western Yalanji won recognition over their ancestral land too. Together, the decisions cover 3,887 km², an area larger than Yosemite National Park.

2026-08-16T02:28:22Z

Post-truth propaganda runs on 4 pillars, and they describe the American information environment of 2026 with embarrassing precision.

*The first pillar is doubt about truth itself.* The first thing the propaganda machine does is exploit your fear of being duped until the suspicion itself begins curdling — you stop doubting this claim or that one and start doubting the idea that any claim can be checked. The Kremlin’s answer to a documented atrocity is “nobody can really know what’s true” — never “we didn’t do it.” The second thing it does is abandon consistency: the atrocity didn’t happen, and it happened but someone else did it, both at once. The third is volume: eight incompatible stories where two would do, flooded across every channel until sorting them feels like a fool’s errand. The fourth is motivational internality: the apparatus puts nothing in your head that wasn’t already there, then helps you spin out of control by your own ideological logic.

All four pillars aim at the same thing, and Americans keep missing what it is.

*Post-truth propaganda persuades you “not into opinion but into inaction” — an extreme project of depoliticization*.

It asks only that you hold two minimal opinions about politics: that participating is for fools — “private freedom is good but public freedom is for idiots” — and that, on the back-of-the-napkin theory of truth, “who knows what, if anything, is true.” A citizenry holding those two opinions does not need to be convinced of anything else. It has already stood down.

Liars obscure particular truths; post-truth populists obscure the difference between truth and lies itself.

Politicians have always lied. What changed is that the lies no longer bother to be consistent, because consistency is a concession to the idea that truth exists.

Post-truth politics is a co-conspiracy between politician and citizen in which both parties half agree that truth doesn’t matter.
