What Happens if the Earth Stops Rotating?
If Earth Stops Rotating Gradually The situation would be very different if the earth's rotation were to gradually slow over billions of years, to about one spin for 365 days, giving rise to a phenomenon known as "sun-synchronous." In contrast to the earlier, the likelihood of this possibility occurring is quite high. In this scenario, one area of the earth would have year-round sunlight, while another would experience year-round darkness. Although the planet's rotation has not nearly come to an end, it is quite close.

The new 'gold rush' for green lithium
Cornwall, 1864. A hot spring is discovered nearly 450m (1,485ft) below ground in the Wheal Clifford, a copper mine just outside the mining town of Redruth. Glass bottles are immersed to their necks in its bubbling waters, carefully sealed and sent off for testing. The result is the discovery of so great a quantity of lithium – eight or 10 times as much per gallon as had been found in any hot spring previously analysed – that scientists suspect “it may prove of great commercial value”.

The world's fastest-growing source of food
merald-green waters and bobbing catamarans welcome one on the way to Pamban Island, also known as Rameshwaram, a sacred pilgrimage site in the state of Tamil Nadu. But just below the sea’s surface, there is a change taking place which could transform the region's ecosystem, economy and even its cuisine – these coastal villages are the home of India's seaweed boom.

How to stop another 'Day Zero'
Kalaiselvi Murugan's day starts early. She is a domestic worker in Chennai, India, who rises at dawn to beat the queue and place her red plastic pot in line, ready for the water to be released at the neighbourhood water pump. After collecting water for her tiny third-floor flat, she walks to work in a wealthier neighbourhood, where the apartments have piped water supplied by tankers throughout the day.

Why some bike shares work and others don't
set of iconic photos from 2017 show brightly coloured fields which, at first glance, look like meadows filled with flowers in full bloom. It takes a while to register that the images aren't of verdant fields, but ones filled with bicycles: hundreds and thousands of two-wheelers, stacked end-to-end in what came to be called China's bicycle graveyards.

The city of sustainable skyscrapers
Looking out over Hong Kong's iconic skyline from the viewing deck of its tallest skyscraper, the 118-storey International Commerce Centre (ICC), it's clear why Hong Kong is known as the world's most vertical city. In every direction you look, countless high-rise buildings are stacked side by side, clustered together, like a real-world version of the game Tetris.

How to Clean and Maintain Your Black Tile Flooring
Introduction First, when vacuum cleaning black tile floors, use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment. This will help to avoid scratching the tile. Start by vacuuming in one direction, and then go over the floor again in the opposite direction. Be sure to vacuum the corners and edges of the room thoroughly. Next, sweep the floor with a soft, bristled broom. Start in one corner of the room and sweep in long, even strokes. Be sure to sweep up any dust or dirt the vacuum may have missed. Finally, mop the floor with a damp mop. Use a gentle detergent if needed. Start in one corner of the room and work your way across the floor in long, even strokes. Rinse the mop frequently to avoid leaving streaks on the floor. If you're lucky enough to have black tile flooring in your home, you know just how sleek and stylish it can make a space look. But you also know that keeping those floors clean can be a bit of a challenge. Here are some tips on vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping your black tile floors, so they always look their best.

The device that reverses CO2 emissions
he year is 2050. Walk out of the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum in Midland, Texas, and drive north across the sun-baked scrub where a few remaining oil pumpjacks nod lazily in the heat, and then you'll see it: a glittering palace rising out of the pancake-flat ground. The land here is mirrored: the choppy silver-blue waves of an immense solar array stretch out in all directions. In the distance, they lap at a colossal grey wall five storeys high and almost a kilometre long. Behind the wall, you glimpse the snaking pipes and gantries of a chemical plant.

The rivers that 'breathe' greenhouse gases
At first glance you would assume the New Territories were one of Hong Kong's greenest areas – the region that borders the Chinese mainland and makes up the bulk of Hong Kong's territory seems a world removed from the bustling streets and dense cluster of skyscrapers that tower over much of the city centre. By contrast, the New Territories are mostly rural and home to large swathes of farmland, rolling greenery, wetlands, mountains, parks and rivers.
