Because of its growing impact on society, global warming has taken center stage in the public debate. While most of us have not read the reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), heat waves, intensifying storms and the multiplication of extreme events remind us of the scale of climate disruption and the urgency of action.

This week's landmark report on the impact of invasive alien species revealed costs to the global economy exceeded US$423 billion (A$654 billion) a year in 2019. Costs have at least quadrupled every decade since 1970 and that trend is set to continue.

Scientists have used Solar Orbiter's EUI camera in a new mode of operation to record part of the sun's atmosphere at extreme ultraviolet wavelengths that has been almost impossible to image until now. This new mode of operation was made possible with a last-minute 'hack' to the camera and will almost certainly influence new solar instruments for future missions.

In 1848, when Louis Pasteur was a young chemist still years away from discovering how to sterilize milk, he discovered something peculiar about crystals that accidentally formed when an industrial chemist boiled wine for too long.

One in five glaciers on Earth are covered with a layer of rocky debris. The presence of debris influences how glaciers melt. In the Himalaya, debris covers most large glaciers, and it is so thick that it should insulate the ice, slowing the rates of melt. However, many debris-covered glaciers melt just as fast as glaciers with no debris. This anomaly is known as the debris cover paradox.

People are capable of amazing things when we all work together and devote our efforts towards a common goal. Somehow in the 60s the US was able to devote billions of dollars towards the space race because the public was supportive of it. Why do we not put the same effort into getting the public to support anti-aging? Quite literally the leading cause of death is health complications due to aging.

For the study, published in the Election Law Journal , Michael Ritter, a researcher at Washington State University, analyzed election data from 2012 through 2020, when the pandemic encouraged many more people than usual to vote by mail. He found that in general mor

Nature Communications, Published online: 05 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41467-023-41230-9 Quantum simulations of topological matter with superconducting qubits have been attracting attention recently. Xiang et al. realize 2D and bilayer Chern insulators with synthetic dimensions on a programmable 30-qubit-ladder superconducting processor, showing bulk-boundary correspondence.

Researchers have pushed the limits of the possible in the field of atomic-scale spin-optics, creating a spin-optical laser from monolayer-integrated spin-valley microcavities without requiring magnetic fields or cryogenic temperatures.

A new cancer therapy attacks tumors by tricking cancer cells into absorbing a snippet of RNA that naturally blocks cell division.

Invasive alien species are animals that may pose a threat to biodiversity, but it's time to deal with that threat in a more ethical way. "We need to take a humane, long-term view and learn to co-exist, as some species considered invasive are here to stay," argues Cebuan Bliss, an environmental researcher at Radboud University.

Children living in racially segregated neighborhoods have higher levels of lead in their blood, a new study shows. The findings, published in the journal Pediatrics , underscore the negative health effects of policies stemming from systemic racism. The study is the latest from the University of Notre Dame’s Children’s Environmental Health Initiative (CEHI), which examines the adverse and dispropo

Scientists investigated whether internet use is linked with the likelihood of developing dementia — and found, interestingly, that moderate and regular internet use seems to be cognitively helpful to older folks, even if their Facebook posts might sometimes suggest otherwise. Published in the August edition of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society , the paper's authors at NYU's School of

On Sept. 29, 2009, an 8.1-magnitude earthquake struck near American Samoa, Samoa, and Tonga, triggering a tsunami that caused human casualties and $200 million in property damage on the islands. The earthquake also exacerbated another problem in American Samoa: subsidence, or the sinking of land. When combined with relative sea level rise, land sinking can increase the frequency and amount of coas

The galaxy ESO 300-16 looms over this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy, which lies 28.7 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Eridanus, is a ghostly assemblage of stars which resembles a sparkling cloud. Other distant galaxies and foreground stars complete this astronomical portrait, which was captured by the Advanced Camera for Surveys.

Nineteen-month-old toddlers already use natural logical thinking, even before they learn to speak, to deal with uncertainties about the world. This natural logic contributes to their learning process, both in terms of language and in other fields of knowledge, according to a new study.

New research shows that when people first recall their dreams, they often draw connections between their dreams and waking lives, and those connections alter how they think, feel, and act at work. The new paper is forthcoming in the Academy of Management Journal from lead author Casher Belinda, assistant professor of management at Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, and Michael Christian fr

Busy writing texts, programming software or developing logos, crowdworkers have emerged as a small but growing part of the modern labor market. Task-oriented freelancers offer their services on online platforms. They usually work on their own at home and are not employed by an organization. Working conditions in crowdwork are precarious, but not for everyone. Some workers make good money and find

A recent collaborative study conducted by accounting and finance scholars highlights the pivotal role played by the M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) market in assessing the worth of technological assets.

Researchers from Spain have demonstrated how equipping wildlife with GPS devices can help enforce environmental laws. The findings are published in a Journal of Applied Ecology study.

In most illegal tree removals, you might see perhaps a handful of trees removed or poisoned. That's why the recent felling and poisoning of 265 old trees in Sydney's Castle Cove has been so breathtaking and appalling.

Climate activists lined the road to this year's Burning Man festival in Nevada to call out the "privileged mindset" of the Silicon Valley types who flock there—and the waste involved in creating a temporary city in the desert.

It has been almost 12 years since I left my city. And I have never been able to return. Homs, the place I was born and grew up, has been destroyed and I, like many others, have been left in exile: left to remember how beautiful it once was. What can a person do when their home—that place within them that carries so much meaning—has effectively been murdered?

The winning entries in this year’s Bird Photographer of the Year competition were just announced, with Jack Zhi named as the overall winner for his image of a falcon defending its nest. Competition organizers were once again kind enough to share some of the other winners here, in eight different categories, selected from a field of more than 20,000 entries.

It isn't true that we can't smell ourselves, although we do become habituated to our own scent.

The huge, ancient whale skull was discovered during a summer dig on a high school student's family property where fossilized shark teeth had previously been found.

Complex stories of homelessness, as told through the experiences of women in the North East of England, are the focus of a study led by Joanne McGrath, a third year Ph.D. student based at Northumbria University.

Professor Matthew Paterson, Stanley Wilshire and Dr. Paul Tobin have written an article discussing the rise of anti-net zero populism in relation to climate change policy in the UK between 2021 and 2022.

One of the most intense discussions taking place among university faculty is whether to permit students to use artificial intelligence in the classroom. To gain perspective on the matter, The Conversation reached out to four scholars for their take on AI as a learning tool and the reasons why they will or won't be making it a part of their classes.

Many of us germinated cress seeds on a bit of wet tissue at primary school, giving us a first introduction to edible microgreens. Recent interest in more diverse ways of getting flavor and nutrition into the vegetable components of our diets has increased the focus on the potential these crops have to offer.
