The Antarctic ice sheet is much less likely to become unstable and cause dramatic sea-level rise in upcoming centuries if the world follows policies that keep global warming below a key 2...
Scientists have resolved a key climate change mystery, the “Holocene temperature conundrum.”
Researchers have found a new way to identify heat-stressed corals.
A lack of pollinators like bees is leading to reduced crop yields for apples, cherries, and blueberries across the United States, researchers report.
Researchers have embedded high-performance electrical circuits inside plastics they created with 3D printing.
Impermeable pavement made of concrete or asphalt covers more than 30 percent of most urban areas and can exceed 140 degrees Fahrenheit in the summertime. It heats the air, posing human he...
A new way to understand sea breezes using sophisticated forecasting methods could make offshore wind farms a more predictable source of energy.
Since the start of the century, global average sea-level has risen by about 0.2 feet. Under moderate emissions, central estimates of global average sea-level from different analyses range...
Unmitigated climate change will make the United States poorer and more unequal, predict researchers. The poorest third of counties could sustain economic damages costing as much as 20 per...
A new technology can clone thousands of genes at once and compile libraries of proteins from DNA samples, potentially speeding up the search for new drugs.
In 1859, Charles Darwin included a novel tree of life in his trailblazing book on the theory of evolution, On the Origin of Species. Now, scientists want to update the idea.
Engineers have found a simple method for producing high-quality graphene: bake the compound in a microwave oven.
Researchers have discovered a link between disappearing Arctic sea ice and dogged weather systems that are rapidly melting the surface of Greenland.
Scientists have figured out how to convert adult tissue-derived stem cells into human neurons on 3D “scaffolds,” or tiny islands of fibers.
