Researchers discover a complete skin-to-brain neural circuit for temperature sensing, a finding that could help spur medical innovations such as new treatments for temperature-associated pain.
Though scientists have long understood how lightning strikes, the precise atmospheric events that trigger it within thunderclouds remained a perplexing mystery.
Forests in the Brazilian Amazon damaged by fire remain about 2.6 °C (4.7 °F) hotter than neighboring intact or selectively logged stands, and the extra heat can linger for at least 30 years.
Rivers carry plastic across continents, so scientists tracked its movement across continents too.

Rare earth elements sustain the Information Age, and securing a supply of these metals has become a matter of national and economic security.
A flight corridor for testing drones and electric aircraft will link the University of Michigan’s one-of-a-kind autonomy research and proving ground facilities in Ann Arbor to Michigan Central’s real-world, urban testbed and innovation district in Detroit.
A technology called Dynamic Targeting could enable spacecraft to decide, autonomously and within seconds, where to best make science observations from orbit.
A study led by Associate Professor Kelton McMahon at University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography has found that food webs on tropical reefs are more fragile than we once thought.
