Gardens can become “living artworks” to help prevent the disastrous decline of pollinating insects, according to researchers working on a new project.
Residents in San Joaquin Valley breathe chemical pesticides, according to new study
A new study found 22% of adults and 10% of children who participated in an air-quality study in California's San Joaquin Valley were breathing detectable levels of pesticides.
Ignore antifungal resistance in fungal disease at your peril, warn top scientists
Without immediate action, humanity will potentially face further escalation in resistance in fungal disease, a group of scientists from the around the world has warned. According to the scientists most fungal pathogens identified by the World Health Organization -- accounting for around 3.8 million deaths a year -- are either...
Discovery About Ice Layer Formation in Ice Sheets Can Improve Sea Level Rise Predictions
A newly discovered mechanism for the flow and freezing of ice sheet meltwater could improve estimates of sea level rise around the globe.
Study Shows Sea-Level Rise for Future Generations Is Highly Dependent on Emission Levels
A multi-institutional study, led by Dartmouth Engineering Professor Hélène Seroussi, extends scientists' predictions of how greenhouse gas emissions will likely affect sea-level rise beyond the twenty‐first century.
Climate-change-triggered 2023 mega-landslide caused Earth to vibrate for nine days
A landslide in a remote part of Greenland caused a 200 meter (650 foot) mega-tsunami that sloshed back and forth across a fjord for nine days, generating vibrations throughout Earth, according to a new study. The study concluded that this movement of water was the cause of a mysterious, global...
New discovery about ice layer formation in ice sheets can improve sea level rise predictions
A newly discovered mechanism for the flow and freezing of ice sheet meltwater could improve estimates of sea level rise around the globe. Researchers have found a new mechanism that explains the process of how impermeable horizontal ice layers are formed below the surface, a process critical for determining the...
Discovery could lead to longer-lasting EV batteries, hasten energy transition
Researchers have discovered why lithium-ion batteries, which power most electronic devices, lose capacity overtime. The findings could enable the development of electric vehicles that go far longer without needing a charge.
Ozone Pollution Reduces Tropical Forest Growth
Ozone gas is reducing the growth of tropical forests – leaving an estimated 290 million tonnes of carbon uncaptured each year, new research shows.
World’s Strongest Battery Paves Way for Light, Energy-Efficient Vehicles
When cars, planes, ships or computers are built from a material that functions as both a battery and a load-bearing structure, the weight and energy consumption are radically reduced.
