TECH & INNOVATIONA new scientific study could help detect megastorms—very large and complex storm systems that remain unpredictable—and help communities around the world better protect themselves.
The trees are the Earth's biggest allies in countering the carbon emissions that humans pump unto the Earth's atmosphere as the burning of fossil fuels continues. It could cause a big problem if forests, such as the Siberian forest, would absorb lesser carbon as it means climate will continue to worsen.
The discovery of 14,000-year-old puppy became extra special when its stomach contents had the remains of a wolly rhino. Scientists still don't know how both creatures died.
Silk, despite its fine fibers, is known as fairly durable material. Combining the natural substance with synthetic components, new composite material can be used for biomedical implants.
Sephora sets a new industry standard with its recent chemical policy for transparency and clean labels through strong partnerships. Ulta Beauty follows their footsteps by announcing a new sustainability program as well.
As a part of National Science Week, Australia now lets people experience the Hallett Cove Conservation Park during the Ice Age - thanks to virtual reality (VR) technology.
Bunker activity such as cargo ships refueling remain a major threat to the remaining African penguin population in South Africa. Disturbances such as minor oil spills may be the end of the penguin population which all other species are dependent on.
Stephen Hummel, a dark-skies specialist at the McDonald Observatory, photographed the magnificent red jellyfish sprite in the sky during a storm in Mount Locke. Thir rare phenomenon happens one-tenth of a second, so taking a photo of it could be tricky.
Climate change causing the Arctic permafrost to melt could mean the resurgence of ancient diseases that were formerly frozen. Warmer global temperatures are also allowing disease-carrying mosquitoes to travel north from tropical countries.
Fire tornadoes, similar to the 2018 Carr Fire, blazed through California this weekend. A red flag warning had been issued in several counties as thousands have already been evacuated while authorites are still containing around five 'firenadoes.'
Tropical Storm Isaias and climate change welcomed populations of sea lice. Global warming is also drastically affecting jellyfish and algae populations.
Many nocturnal animal species use light from the moon and stars to migrate at night in search of food, shelter, or mates. But in our recent study, we uncovered how artificial light is disrupting these nightly migrations.
A 429-Million-Year-Old Trilobite had modern eyes similar to today's bees and dragonflies which adds to the information of how the eyes and vision of anthropods evolved over time.
