Ancient coral fossils from the remote Seychelles islands have unveiled a dramatic warning for our future--sea levels can rise in sudden, sharp bursts even when global temperatures stay steady.

In a remarkable twist of science, researchers have transformed a fungus long associated with death into a potential weapon against cancer. Found in tombs like that of King Tut, Aspergillus flavus was once feared for its deadly spores. Now, scientists ...

A Rice University team discovered that bubbling CO through a mild acid dramatically improves the lifespan and efficiency of electrochemical devices that convert CO into useful fuels. This simple trick prevents salt buildup--a major barrier to ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an astonishing new material: a printable gel that's alive. Infused with ancient cyanobacteria, this "photosynthetic living material" not only grows but also removes CO from the air, twice over. The bacteria .. ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed a powerful and affordable new material for producing hydrogen, a clean energy source key to fighting climate change. By fine-tuning boron-doping and phosphorus levels in cobalt phosphide nanosheets, the team ...

Beneath the forest floor lies an overlooked secret: many plants grow a second set of roots far deeper than expected sometimes over three feet down tapping into hidden nutrient stores and potentially locking away carbon. A new study using deep-soil .. ...

In a twist on conventional wisdom, researchers have discovered that in ocean-like fluids with changing density, tiny porous particles can sink faster than larger ones, thanks to how they absorb salt. Using clever lab experiments with 3D-printed agar ...

A century-old mystery of a stubborn cold patch in the North Atlantic is finally being unraveled. A new study links this anomaly to a long-term weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) a massive ocean current system that ...

Even after 20 million years of evolutionary separation, two tiny worm species show astonishingly similar patterns in how they turn genes on and off. Scientists mapped every cell s activity during development and found that genes essential to basic .. ...

Researchers at Colorado State University have developed a new photoredox catalysis system that uses visible light mimicking photosynthesis to drive energy-intensive chemical reactions at room temperature. This groundbreaking process could ...
