A Michigan State University study suggests solar geoengineering could protect up to 75% of oceans from heat waves, but protection would be uneven.

A new study reveals global rice production nearly doubled over 50 years, largely due to agricultural management practices that offset climate change impacts.

Researchers at IITGN developed a new hydrogel, CAPA, that effectively removes toxic industrial dyes from wastewater, demonstrating high efficiency and reusability.

Researchers are mapping the Grand Canyon's underground cave systems to understand how snowmelt feeds vital springs, aiming to protect the park's water from environmental threats.

A new study reveals kitchen sponges release microplastics during dishwashing, but water consumption has a greater environmental impact.

New research suggests taller buildings produce more wildfire-spreading embers, a key factor in structural damage during wildfires, influencing future building codes and fire prediction models.

A new study indicates the Arctic Ocean has reached a tipping point, with rapid sea ice loss causing a sharp decline in nitrate, a crucial nutrient for marine life.

University of Missouri researchers have engineered algae to remove microplastics from water by making them clump together, offering a potential solution for water purification and plastic recycling.

A new chemical called bistrifluron effectively kills drywood termites by preventing them from growing new exoskeletons, offering a safer alternative to traditional pesticides.

The primary driver of wildlife changes in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone is the absence of humans, not radiation, despite frequent media misinterpretations of scientific findings.
