NEGIS is the largest ice stream draining the Greenland Ice Sheet into the ocean.
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.
Backyard Insect Inspires Large-scale Invisibility Particles Production
How the humble leafhopper’s nanoengineering could enable invisibility cloaks and next-gen sensors.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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....
A new way to prevent gum disease without wiping out good bacteria
Scientists are uncovering a surprising way to influence bacteria—not by killing them, but by changing how they communicate. Researchers studying oral bacteria found that disrupting chemical signals used in bacterial “conversations” can shift dental plaque toward healthier, less harmful communities. The discovery could open the door to new treatments that...
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.
