Weather Radar Records Drastic Drop in Mayfly Populations
At the beginning of each summer, mayfly larvae emerge from bodies of water and shed their skin to become full-fledged mayflies, similar to how caterpillars become butterflies.
Study Finds Link Between Flu Risk and Wild Weather Swings
Scientists have found a link between a heightened risk of flu and rapid weather swings that have become increasingly common in recent years due to climate change.
Aerosols Have an Outsized Impact on Extreme Weather
Scientists at Caltech and JPL have tied a shift in winter weather patterns in Europe and northern Eurasia to a reduction in air pollution.
Climate Change Affects Soil Health
Researchers at the universities of Kassel and Bonn show that soil pathogens spread after heat and drought stress.
New Electrode Design May Lead to More Powerful Batteries
New research by engineers at MIT and elsewhere could lead to batteries that can pack more power per pound and last longer, based on the long-sought goal of using pure lithium metal as one of the battery’s two electrodes, the anode.
