Why do people care about coral reefs? Why does their damage cause such concern and outrage? What drives people to go to great lengths to protect and restore them? Summary People care deeply about coral Read More
The Dead Sea is a confluence of extraordinary conditions: the lowest point on Earth’s surface, with one of the world’s highest salinities. The high concentration of salt gives it a correspondingly high density, Read More
Deep life's survival secret: Crustal faulting generates key energy sources,
Chinese researchers have recently challenged the long-held belief that “all life depends on sunlight.” In a study published in Science Advances, the researchers identified how microbes in deep subsurface areas can derive energy from chemical Read More
AI-assisted sorting, other new technologies could improve plastic recycling –
Just 9% of plastic worldwide is recycled. Due to waste mismanagement, nearly three-quarters of it ends up in landfills or the environment. Summary Globally, only 9% of plastic waste is successfully recycled. The vast majority, a staggering 75%, Read More
Ecosystem collapse patterns mirror magnetic material behavior under stress –
A new study published in the journal One Earth reveals that the way ecosystems collapse—abruptly or gradually—may depend on internal complexity, much like how magnetic materials behave under stress. Summary A new study Read More
Unraveling the genetic mechanisms behind adaptive evolution stands as a pivotal challenge in molecular biology. While organisms often exhibit rapid phenotypic adjustments to environmental shifts, the underlying genomic processes remain poorly understood. Summary Understanding how Read More
The generation of electricity from heat, also known as thermoelectric energy conversion, has proved to be advantageous for various real-world applications. For instance, it proved useful for the generation of energy during space expeditions and Read More
In a small, refrigerated room at a Brussels university, parka-wearing scientists chop up Antarctic ice cores tens of thousands of years old in search of clues to our planet’s changing climate. Summary Belgian scientists Read More
A study led by a scientist at the University of California San Diego offers new warnings on the dangers of human interactions with wildlife. Summary A UC San Diego study highlights the growing dangers of Read More
