A water-based formulation developed at the University of Waterloo using nanotechnology is both greener and more effective than conventional methods for delivering agricultural pesticides.

For the past several years, Penn State geoscientist Sarah Ivory and her students have been among a team of scientists scaling the East African Rwenzori Mountains, collecting sediment core samples from lakes formed at the end of the last ice age as glaciers began receding in the region some 12,000 years ago.

New research by a collaboration of UK‑based scientists has revealed that common indoor and outdoor air pollutants can alter both brain and respiratory function within just four hours of exposure, offering key insights into how air pollution impacts brain health and may contribute to dementia risk.

Fine particles (PM₂.₅) were associated with around 79,000 preventable deaths, followed by nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃) and coarser particles (PM₂.₅-₁₀, particles with a diameter between 2.5 and 10 micrometres).

Flinders University experts are warning that artificial intelligence (AI) must be carefully evaluated and governed before it is adopted widely in healthcare, saying rapid advances do not automatically translate into safe use for patients.

Don’t have time to exercise because of a busy schedule? 

A look at how the ocean is changing faster than at any point in human history will be the topic of a Public Lecture organised by Litfest and Lancaster University’s Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

As climate change intensifies, managing water systems from extreme floods and droughts to groundwater sustainability has become one of the most urgent environmental challenges facing communities worldwide, with direct consequences for public safety, food systems and economic stability.

Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves about $3.75 in wildfire damages, according to a new study, led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, of nearly 300 fires in the western United States.

Planting new forests may be a low-cost way to combat warming temperatures in urban areas, suggests a new study.
