Deforestation Exacerbates Risk of Malaria for Most Vulnerable Children
Malaria kills more than 600,000 people each year worldwide, and two thirds are children under age five in sub-Saharan Africa.
How Climate Change Risks Increase at a National Scale as the Level of Global Warming Increases
A major research programme led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) has quantified how climate change risks to human and natural systems increase at a national scale as the level of global warming increases.
Rice Lab Finds Better Way to Handle Hard-to-Recycle Material
Glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP), a strong and durable composite material, is widely used in everything from aircraft parts to windmill blades.
How first cells could have formed on Earth
New phospholipid discovery brings researchers closer to understanding how primordial cells emerged during origin of life.
Surprising methane discovery in Yukon glaciers: ‘Much more widespread than we thought’
Global melting is prying the lid off methane stocks, the extent of which we do not know. A researcher has now discovered high concentrations of the powerful greenhouse gas in meltwater from three Canadian mountain glaciers, where it was not thought to exist -- adding new unknowns to the understanding...
