In a new study, researchers have determined that soil pH is a driver of microbial community composition – but that the need to address toxicity released during nitrogen cycling ultimately shapes the final microbial community.

A new study offers a solution and brings hope for using chemical residues in fingerprints for personal profiling. This could be crucial in criminal cases where current methods fall short.

A study from the University of Miami found that over 2 million acres of floodplain have been developed in the U.S. over the past 20 years. Florida had the highest new floodplain housing, with about 400,000 new properties.

A study reveals that synthesis methods significantly affect the structural and functional properties of high entropy oxides. Researchers found variations in local structures and microstructures, impacting material performance.

Researchers developed new technique for mass-producing pure metal nanowires (NWs) using atomic diffusion and ion beam irradiation. This method significantly increases NW density, paving the way for improved production of high-performance electronics.

Aluminum oxide is one of the best insulators used in a wide range of applications and researchers have now solved the complex structure of its surface.

A study reveals that dams in coastal estuaries may exacerbate flooding. The researchers found that dam-induced changes in basin shape can amplify storm surges, affecting areas far inland.

A landslide in a remote part of Greenland caused a mega-tsunami that sloshed back and forth across a fjord for nine days, generating vibrations throughout Earth, according to a new study involving UCL researchers.

Mega ocean warming El Niño events were key in driving the largest extinction of life on planet Earth some 252 million years ago, according to new research.

Genome editing of Euglena gracilis led to stable mutants that produced wax esters with shorter carbon chains, giving the esters properties more suitable for use in biofuel.
