Giving a second life to construction materials after demolition, engineers at the University of São Paulo and Princeton have developed an approach for recycling cement waste into a sustainable, low-carbon alternative that is comparable in performance to the industry standard.
New Biosensor Can Detect Airborne Bird Flu in Under Five Minutes
As highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza continues to spread in the U.S., posing serious threats to dairy and poultry farms, both farmers and public health experts need better ways to monitor for infections, in real time, to mitigate and respond to outbreaks.
Climate Change Made UK Fires in 2022 Six Times More Likely
New research shows that the damaging fires during the UK’s record-breaking 2022 heatwave were made at least six times more likely due to human-caused climate change.
SEQ koalas offer species survival hope with unique immunity
Koalas from a population north of the Brisbane River have evolved a unique genomic immunity to the killer retrovirus threatening their species.
AI has Untapped Potential to Advance Biodiversity Conservation, Study Finds
A new study from McGill University researchers suggests the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to rapidly analyze vast amounts of biodiversity data could revolutionize conservation efforts by enabling scientists and policymakers to make better-informed decisions.
Smoke From Wildland-Urban Interface Fires More Deadly Than Remote Wildfires
The smoke from fires that blaze through the wildland-urban interface (WUI) has far greater health impacts than smoke from wildfires in remote areas, new research finds.
Webb Telescope Captures Its First Direct Images of Carbon Dioxide Outside Solar System
The images suggest key giant exoplanets likely formed like Jupiter and Saturn.
Dusty Inferno Hits Oklahoma
An area of low pressure over the U.S. Southwest began to collide with humid air flowing north on March 14, 2025.
Study: ‘Sustainable Intensification’ on the Farm Reduces Soil Nitrate Losses, Maintains Crop Yields
A nine-year study comparing a typical two-year corn and soybean rotation with a more intensive three-year rotation involving corn, cereal rye, soybean and winter wheat found that the three-year system can dramatically reduce nitrogen — an important crop nutrient — in farm runoff without compromising yield.
Swirling Skies and Melting Icebergs
