A new catalyst design could transform how acetaldehyde is made from renewable bioethanol. Researchers found that a carefully balanced mix of gold, manganese, and copper creates a powerful synergy that boosts efficiency while lowering operating ...

Scientists have uncovered ancient wolf remains on a small Baltic island where wolves could only have been brought by humans. These animals weren't dogs, but true wolves that ate the same marine food as the people living there and showed signs of ...

Scientists have uncovered why big predators like sharks spend so much time in the ocean's twilight zone. The answer lies with mid-sized fish such as the bigscale pomfret, which live deep during the day and rise at night to feed, linking deep and ...

When researchers lowered whale bones into the deep ocean, they expected zombie worms to quickly move in. Instead, after 10 years, none appeared -- an unsettling result tied to low-oxygen waters in the region. These worms play a key role in breaking . ...

Scientists have built the most detailed 3D models yet of temperatures deep beneath Greenland. The results reveal uneven heat hidden below the ice, shaped by Greenland's ancient path over a volcanic hotspot. This underground warmth affects how the ice ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have uncovered how plants create mitraphylline, a rare natural compound linked to anti-cancer effects. By identifying two key enzymes that shape and twist molecules into their final form, the team solved a puzzle that had ...

When Earth was a molten inferno, water may have been locked safely underground rather than lost to space. Researchers discovered that bridgmanite deep in the mantle can store far more water at high temperatures than previously believed. During Earth ...

A tiny fish long feared lost has resurfaced in Bolivia, offering a rare conservation success story amid widespread habitat destruction. Moema claudiae, a seasonal killifish unseen for more than 20 years, was rediscovered in a small temporary pond ...

Deep ocean hot spots packed with heat are making the strongest hurricanes and typhoons more likely--and more dangerous. These regions, especially near the Philippines and the Caribbean, are expanding as climate change warms ocean waters far below the ...

A new eco-friendly technology can capture and destroy PFAS, the dangerous "forever chemicals" found worldwide in water. The material works hundreds to thousands of times faster and more efficiently than current filters, even in river water, tap water ...
