Nearly 69 million people in the United States speak a language other than English at home, yet weather warnings have long been issued almost exclusively in English. 

Rochester biologist Anne S. Meyer and her colleagues created “bio-stickers” that speed up plastic breakdown in marine environments.

Municipalities and federal agencies monitor U.S. waters for microcystins, a toxin produced by harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie, but a University of Michigan study shows that the blooms produce a greater range of potentially toxic compounds than previously known.

Artificial intelligence shows promise for supporting physicians, but patient health questions are best left to human doctors, according to Penn State researchers.

A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience by researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea shows that the Antarctic ice sheet became more sensitive to climate forcing following a major shift in Earth’s ice age cycles about one million years ago, providing new insight into how ice sheets respond to long-term climate change.

A fish–microbe partnership may produce minerals that help shape the marine carbon cycle.

Reducing methane emissions will slow climate change but could also slow the recovery of the stratospheric ozone layer, new research from the University of Reading shows.

Urban planning needs to tackle greenhouse gas emissions – and an important way to achieve this is by reducing the number and length of car commutes. 

Scientists have identified “Seed Transfer Zones” to help restore vast areas of degraded land in Brazil.

Engineers have invented an ingenious liquid-metal pump which could make future soft robotics and wearable devices much more portable and agile.
