We explore why packaging matters—how cartons ensure food safety, what happens after they’re used, and how we can keep their materials in circulation. Most of us don’t often consider what happens to our milk or juice cartons once they’re empty. But the truth is, cartons do more than just contain food and drink—they protect it. Through a combination of aseptic technology and packaging-material structure, they help preserve the colour, texture, and taste of perishable food, keeping it safe for long
A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, revealing two simultaneous wind–wave energy-transfer tricks—slow short waves steal power from the breeze, while long giants sculpt the air in reverse. These crisp observations promise to overhaul climate and weather models by clarifying how heat, momentum, and greenhouse gases slip between sea and sky.
