Hydrogen’s potential as a clean fuel could be limited by a chemical reaction in the lower atmosphere, according to research from Princeton University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association.

The cycling of carbon through the environment is an essential part of life on the planet.

In a paper published today in Current Biology, researchers from the California Academy of Sciences Hope for Reefs initiative, along with Brazilian collaborators from the University of São Paulo, Federal University of Espírito Santo, and the Instituto Nacional da Mata Atlântica, show that mesophotic coral reefs function much differently than their shallower counterparts and are unlikely to offer a refuge for shallow water fishes trying to escape climate-change driven warming on the ocean’s surface.

Most animals can quickly transition from walking to jumping to crawling to swimming if needed without reconfiguring or making major adjustments.

SHIPS of the future could once again be powered by wind if a pioneering project which retrofits large vessels with ultramodern wing-sails proves successful in cutting carbon emissions.

The health-promoting effects of sulfur-rich vegetables such as onions and garlic have been known for a long time.

There’s a lot riding on farmers’ ability to fight weeds, which can strangle crops and destroy yields.

From 1980 to 2009, farmers faced an ever-increasing chance of having to deal with a growing season that was too hot and dry for their crops, according to a new study from an international team led by researchers at Aalto University. 

February continued the unusually mild start to 2023, with much of the eastern U.S. seeing record or near-record warm temperatures. 

Scientists have predicted that droughts and floods will become more frequent and severe as our planet warms and climate changes, but detecting this on regional and continental scales has proven difficult.
