By combining genomic sequencing data with AI analysis, researchers are zeroing in on the ocean viruses that can capture carbon and help combat climate change.

Researchers investigated the effects of agricultural grassland use on communities of organisms. Their study reveals that measures such as fertilization and mowing affect organisms at all levels of an ecosystem and across entire food chains.

The study found fabric made from cotton coated with nanodiamonds, using a method called electrospinning, showed a reduction of 2-3 degrees Celsius during the cooling down process compared to untreated cotton.

Experimental evidence and theoretical simulations have shattered the previously accepted notion that traditional ferroelectric effects were limited by the size of the ferroelectric crystals.

Penn Engineers have developed a new chip that uses light waves, rather than electricity, to perform the complex math essential to training AI.

Communities must be better prepared for flooding in their homes and businesses, an expert warns, as climate change predictions suggest more extreme flooding globally.

Wetlands are the largest natural source of methane, and wetlands in the Boreal-Arctic region are now emitting nine percent more methane than in 2002.

Springtime brings native wildflowers to bloom in the Santa Monica Mountains. These beauties provide food for insects, maintain healthy soil and filter water seeping into the ground — in addition to offering breathtaking displays of color.

An area the size of France in the African Savannah is under threat from "misguided" forest restoration initiatives that aim to restore the area by planting more trees.

A jolt of electricity could boost the efficiency of some key chemical processing reactions by up to a factor of 100,000, reports a new study.
