Researchers at Oregon State University and Baylor University have made a breakthrough toward reducing the energy consumption of the photonic chips used in data centers and supercomputers.
Sharp Decline in Europe’s Grassland Butterflies
A new report on trends of grassland butterflies across Europe shows numbers declined by over a third in just a decade.
Novel Research into Impacts of Biodiversity and Climate Crises
Scientists at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) are embarking on two new research projects that will transform our understanding of impacts of the climate and biodiversity crises.
Moving Water and Earth
As a river cuts through a landscape, it can operate like a conveyer belt, moving truckloads of sediment over time.
The Heat Is On: How to Protect Your Home and Family From a Lethally Hot Future
In 1985, when few were thinking about climate change, Glenn Frey said it best – The Heat Is On.
Saving Our Soil: How to Extend U.S. Breadbasket Fertility for Centuries
The Midwestern United States has lost 57.6 billion tons of topsoil due to farming practices over the past 160 years, and the rate of erosion, even following the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s guidelines, is still 25 times higher than the rate at which topsoil forms.
Modular Builds May Help Construction Industry Weather a Perfect Storm

Among Some Fish, Heat Stress May Be Contagious, Study Finds
Heat stress not only afflicts fish in uncomfortably warm waters.
Coastal Ecosystems Are a Net Greenhouse Gas Sink, New Research Shows
A new greenhouse gas budget shows coastal ecosystems globally are a net greenhouse gas sink for carbon dioxide (CO2) but emissions of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) counteract some of the CO2 uptake, according to international researchers led by Australia’s Southern Cross University.
Microorganisms’ Climate Adaptation Can Slow Down Global Warming
A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the ability of microorganisms to adapt to climate warming will slow down global warming by storing carbon in soil.
