Combining cold-atom experiments with ideas from stochastic thermodynamics and quantum gravity offers a new lab perspective on one of physics' oldest conundrums.

Reasons why our walking becomes slower and more tiring with age have been uncovered by new Australian research — with findings showing the body increasingly sacrifices efficiency to stay upright.

Visualising microplastics inside living tissue without altering or destroying it lays important groundwork for future studies.

New research reveals the chemical sequence triggered by CO₂ injection in cement paste, capturing a fleeting intermediate reaction for the first time using real-time Raman spectroscopy.

How exactly do plants regulate their uptake and release of water during drought stress?

Sea level data from a satellite launched by NASA and European partners shows that a swell of warm water hundreds of miles wide has arrived in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America, a sign that El Niño will likely emerge later in the year. 

Scientists identify hydrogen radicals as the key driver in PFAS breakdown, opening the door to more effective and chemical-free water treatment methods.

Millions of rubber gloves end up in incineration or landfill, but researchers at Aarhus University have now developed a technology that can turn the used gloves into a way to capture CO₂. 

Clear-cutting in peatlands during oil and gas exploration led to 300 per cent more methane emissions.

At one time, kelp forests — which shelter fish, slow erosion, and sequester carbon — grew along a third of the world’s coastlines.
