Microbial organisms – particularly Bacteria – dominate life on Earth, yet tracing their early history and how they have developed over time has long eluded scientists because they rarely fossilize.
A new approach developed by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis converts nitrogen waste into valuable chemical product.
A groundbreaking new artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Israeli researchers promises to revolutionize wildfire prediction, with a particular focus on lightning-induced blazes that are growing increasingly common due to climate change.
Children exposed to higher levels of ozone in their first two years of life were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with asthma or wheezing at ages 4-6 — but researchers didn’t observe the increased risk of asthma at ages 8-9.
A major new study has revealed that tropical forests across the Americas are not adapting quickly enough to climate change, raising concerns about their long-term resilience.
A study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface challenges whether glaciers are eroding mountains faster now than in the past.
While pinned butterfly specimens on display are stunning on their own, a new study from the University of Georgia explored how museum specimens can be used to track the spread of disease.
At Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Josh Kover finds himself adapting – much like how plants can adapt to their environment. Kover’s evolution took a dramatic turn four years ago. Shiftless during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Maplewood, N.J., resident recognized a need in his community for a quiet and sustainable landscaping service while everyone was working from home.
With state funding, Washington Sea Grant will work with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to shed light on a highly invasive species
Northern Ireland is known for its cool, wet weather – but a new study has shown warmer temperatures and erratic rainfall due to climate change are taking a toll on the nation’s health and farming industry.
According to a new study published in Journal of Mammalian Evolution, two newly unearthed fossil specimens add important information to our collective knowledge of carnivorous mammals.
More mammals were living on the ground several million years before the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, new research led by the University of Bristol has revealed.
Urbanization is reshaping soil microbial communities worldwide, driving an unexpected homogenization of bacterial populations while fungal communities remain more resistant to change. A groundbreaking study reveals that urban environments favor bacterial generalists, which adapt to diverse conditions, whereas fungi maintain specialized ecological roles.
Georgia Tech scientists are revealing how decades-long research programs have transformed our understanding of evolution, from laboratory petri dishes to tropical islands — along the way uncovering secrets that would remain hidden in shorter studies.
A new WHOI-led study uses satellite data to help uncover what caused devastating flooding and examine how it impacted some of the state’s most vulnerable residents.
Botanists LĂşcia Lohmann (left) and Toby Pennington will have joint appointments with both Washington University in St. Louis and the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Promethium’s short half-life and lack of stable isotopes makes it difficult to study. In addition, promethium is difficult to separate from other lanthanide elements because of these elements’ similarity. In this study, scientists created a pure sample of the isotope promethium-147 and used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to examine the way it chemically bonds.
Two professors at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) are leading an international initiative to develop sustainable bioproducts from waste biomass. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is supporting these efforts with a $5 million grant to the Global Center for Sustainable Bioproducts (GCSB), an international research hub dedicated to developing sustainable bio-based solutions for environmental and economic challenges.
The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Dr. Jennifer Goff has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Geosciences to support research into the environmental impact of tellurium, a metalloid increasingly used in manufacturing.
A new study from the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute found that unnecessary imaging studies in Original Medicare are associated with up to 129 kT of CO2 emissions – the same as would be produced from powering a town of over 70,000 people for a year.
