Astronomers have made significant progress in understanding how carbon, an element vital for life, is dispersed throughout the cosmos. Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have taken a closer look at Wolf-Rayet 140, a system of two massive stars in the Milky Way that serves as a dynamic source of carbon-rich dust.

The rapid growth of urban populations is intensifying challenges in maintaining critical infrastructure, exacerbated by extreme weather conditions. Large-scale facilities, such as waste landfills, face particular hurdles as managers struggle with on-site access and oversight. These limitations contribute to issues such as environmental degradation and inefficient operations.
