Adidas created this 3D-printed shoe out of plastic from the ocean This is so cool.

Adidas and Parley for the Oceans, an organisation dedicated to reducing plastic waste in oceans, have collaborated to create a 3D-printed shoe made out of recycled ocean plastic. The shoe is just a prototype, but the goal is to demonstrate how the industry can "rethink design and help stop ocean plastic pollution," according to Adidas. The prototype has an 'upper' made of ocean plastic and a 3D-printed midsole of recycled polyester and gillnets, a type of fishing net.

China has turned to mist cannons to blast pollution from the sky

We know that China has a serious air pollution problem, caused largely by CO2 emissions. The government has promised to tackle the issue in the coming years, but some local councils have already started using a rather unconventional method of dispersing the smog: huge mist cannons. The cannons are based on machines that blast away dust in factories and building sites. Manufactured by China-based company, Hunan Jiujiu Mining Safety Equipment, they were originally intended to reduce the risk of lung and respiratory problems for miners, but back in 2013, they started tw

Astronomers discover closest potentially habitable planet: Wolf 1061c

  The closest potentially habitable planet ever found has been spotted by Australian scientists, and it's just 14 light-years away. That’s 126 trillion kilometres from Earth, which sounds impossibly far, but when you consider that our closest planetary neighbour, Mars, is 249 million km away, that handful of light-years doesn’t seem so bad in the scheme of things. Named Wolf 1061c, the newly discovered planet is located in the constellation Ophiucus, and its star is the 35th closest star from Earth - that we know about. The team behind the discovery says it's
