A study found that certain groupings of iron atoms in the Earth’s inner core are able to move about rapidly, changing their places in a split second while maintaining the underlying metallic structure of the iron.

Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have combined earlier work on painless microneedles with nanoscale sensors to create a wearable sensor patch capable of continuously monitoring the levels of one antibiotic.

The increasingly urgent climate crisis has led to a boom in commercial tree plantations in an attempt to offset excess carbon emissions. However, scientists argue that these carbon-offset plantations might come with costs for biodiversity.

Commercial whaling in the 20th century decimated populations of large whales and also appears to have had a lasting impact on the genetic diversity of today’s surviving whales.

The Grand Canyon may hold clues to better understanding the future of climate change by studying nature’s past.

Semiconductors are the heart of almost every electronic device. Without semiconductors, our computers would not be able to process and retain data. But semiconductor manufacturing requires a lot of energy.

New research has shown that PFAS exposure can delay the onset of puberty in girls, which may lead to negative long-term health outcomes.

Cheaper, more efficient lithium-ion batteries could be produced by harnessing previously overlooked high pressures generated during the manufacturing process.

People frequently exposed to racial or ethnic discrimination may be more susceptible to obesity and related health risks in part because of a stress response that changes biological processes and how we process food cues.

Using a new analysis method for satellite images, an international research team mapped for the first time annual changes in global forest biomass between 2010 and 2019.
