Energy-efficient ways of cooling buildings and vehicles will be required in a changing climate. 

A Swiss energy firm has installed nearly 5,000 solar panels on the country’s longest dam. 

Gel-like materials that can be injected into the body hold great potential to heal injured tissues or manufacture entirely new tissues. Many researchers are working to develop these hydrogels for biomedical uses, but so far very few have made it into the clinic.

AA new study has for the first time predicted which invasive species could pose a future threat to the UK’s ecologically unique Overseas Territories.

An international team of researchers has combined satellite imagery and climate and ocean records to obtain the most detailed understanding yet of how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet — which contains enough ice to raise global sea level by 11 feet, or 3.3 meters — is responding to climate change.

Volcanoes draw plenty of attention when they erupt.

Rocks, rain and carbon dioxide help control Earth’s climate over thousands of years — like a thermostat — through a process called weathering.

Almost all of Africa’s maize crop is at risk from the devastating fall armyworm pest (Spodoptera frugiperda) according to new research published in the journal Frontiers in Insect Science.

A team of scientists are currently conducting a major experiment over the Southern Ocean that will help to improve climate modelling.

Right now, the temperature of the Earth is pretty much perfect for humans, at around 13.9 degrees Celsius, or 57 degrees Fahrenheit.
