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 ...

What we put on our plates may matter more for the climate than we realize. Researchers found that most people, especially in wealthy countries, are exceeding a "food emissions budget" needed to keep global warming below 2°C. Beef alone accounts for ...

The search for life on Earth is speeding up, not slowing down. Scientists are now identifying more than 16,000 new species each year, revealing far more biodiversity than expected across animals, plants, fungi, and beyond. Many species remain ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don't really matter, but new evidence suggests that's not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is that changing environments prevent these mutations ...

Scientists exploring Romania's Haeg Basin have discovered one of the densest dinosaur fossil sites ever found, with bones lying almost on top of each other. The K2 site preserves thousands of remains from a prehistoric flood-fed lake that acted like ...

Washing machines release massive amounts of microplastics into the environment, mostly from worn clothing fibers. Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed a new, fish-inspired filter that removes over 99% of these particles without ...
