Groundbreaking discovery enables cost-effective and eco-friendly green hydrogen production
A research team has developed a novel catalyst for the high-efficiency and stable production of high-purity green hydrogen.
Alpine Glaciers Will Lose at Least a Third of Their Volume by 2050, Whatever Happens
Even if greenhouse gas emissions were to cease altogether, the volume of ice in the European Alps would fall by 34% by 2050.
Climate Change Linked to Spread of Diarrhoeal Illness
Temperature, day length and humidity have been found to be linked to the increased spread of a diarrhoeal illness a new study from the University of Surrey reveals.
Study Says Ice Age Could Help Predict Oceans’ Response to Global Warming
A team of scientists led by a Tulane University oceanographer has found that deposits deep under the ocean floor reveal a way to measure the ocean oxygen level and its connections with carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere during the last ice age, which ended more than 11,000 years ago.
Food from urban agriculture has carbon footprint 6 times larger than conventional produce, study shows
A new study finds that fruits and vegetables grown in urban farms and gardens have a carbon footprint that is, on average, six times greater than conventionally grown produce.
Endless biotechnological innovation requires a creative approach
Scientists working on biological design should focus on the idiosyncrasies of biological systems over optimization, according to new research.
Ice age could help predict oceans’ response to global warming
A new way to measure the ocean oxygen level and its connections with carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere during the last ice age could help explain the role oceans played in past glacial melting cycles and improve predictions of how ocean carbon cycles will respond to global warming.
The megalodon was less mega than previously believed
A new study shows the Megalodon, a gigantic shark that went extinct 3.6 million years ago, was more slender than earlier studies suggested. This finding changes scientists' understanding of Megalodon behavior, ancient ocean life, and why the sharks went extinct.
Wobbling particles in the sky
Tiny particles such as ice crystals or ash particles tend to oscillate as they settle through the atmosphere. In their experiments, the scientists were able to track non-spherical particles of size smaller than 1 millimeter with unprecedented accuracy. Their observations gave rise to a model which can help to refine...
