Fiddler Crabs Found to Hoover Up and Break Down Microplastic Particles
New research has found that Fiddler crabs are playing an unheralded role when it comes to hoovering up microplastics found in the world’s mangrove forests and salt marshes.
Green Initiatives Can Increase Emissions but Still Benefit the Climate
A new Danish model for agricultural systems reveals that the green transition in farming is more complex than first assumed.
Warming Responsible for Two-Thirds of Emissions from Western Wildfires
Warming is fueling ever larger wildfires in the U.S. West, which are becoming a major source of pollution.

How the humble leafhopper’s nanoengineering could enable invisibility cloaks and next-gen sensors.
The Climate Cost of Aviation: New Study Shows Contrails Are a Major Driver of Aviation’s Climate Impact
Aviation’s climate impact extends beyond carbon dioxide emissions.
Storms in the Southern Ocean Mitigates Global Warming
Intense storms that sweep over the Southern Ocean enable the ocean to absorb more heat from the atmosphere.
Satellite Data Helps UNM Researchers Map Massive Rupture of 2025 Myanmar Earthquake
Understanding the physics of ‘mature’ faults helps understand the general mechanics of the earth's crust, which improves earthquake hazards models globally.
A simple turn reveals a 1,500-year-old secret on Roman glass
A museum visit sparked a revelation when a Roman glass cup was turned around and its overlooked markings came into focus. These symbols, once dismissed as decoration, appear to be workshop identifiers used by teams of skilled artisans. The findings challenge centuries of assumptions about how Roman glass was made....
Living cells may generate electricity from motion
Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These signals could help drive ion transport and explain key biological functions. The work may also guide the design of intelligent, bio-inspired materials.
