In the United States, pervasive and persistent heat domes put more than 150 million people under heat warnings and advisories in the month of July.
New Field Project Assessing the Evolution of Atmospheric Pollution in the New York City Area
Study will gather data on real-world vehicular and non-vehicular VOC emissions and the products of their chemical reactions in the atmosphere.
Tonga Eruption Blasted Unprecedented Amount of Water Into Stratosphere
The huge amount of water vapor hurled into the atmosphere, as detected by NASA’s Microwave Limb Sounder, could end up temporarily warming Earth’s surface.
Optical imaging of dynamic interactions between molecules in a cell
Researchers develop the 'photoswitching fingerprint analysis'. A unique technology that for the first time allows the analysis of molecular processes and the regulation of individual proteins in living cells with sub-10 nm spatial resolution. The application ranges from biological to medical research.
Computer modelling aims to inform restoration, conservation of coral reefs
A research team has created a computer modelling program to help scientists predict the effect of climate damage and eventual restoration plans on coral reefs around the globe. This is a critical objective because climate change is killing many coral species and can lead to the collapse of entire coral...
Affordable and sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries proposed
Concerns regarding scarcity, high prices, and safety regarding the long-term use of lithium-ion batteries has prompted a team of researchers to propose a greener, more efficient, and less expensive energy storage alternative.
Buying a net-zero carbon home
The concrete industry is just one of many looking at new manufacturing methods to reduce its carbon footprint. These efforts are essential to fulfilling the Paris Agreement, which asks each of its signees to achieve a net-zero carbon economy by 2050. However, a new study focusing exclusively on Japan concludes...
Using light to restore cell function
Scientists have published new research showing light-activated proteins can help normalize dysfunction within cells. The technique helps naturally balance mitochondria.
Tuberculosis vaccine passes safety test: study
The vaccine candidate VPM1002 shows its safety in a study with HIV- and non-HIV-exposed newborns.
Legacy of ancient ice ages shapes how seagrasses respond to environmental threats today
In the classic 'nature versus nurture' debate, scientists discovered ancient ice ages have shaped the genetics of eelgrasses today -- and those genetics could play a stronger role than the environment in shaping how eelgrasses respond to threats.
