Photosynthesis on Earth is regulated by plant phenology—how plant life cycles interact with the climate—and environmental conditions, both of which changed substantially in recent decades.

Unprecedented observations of a nova outburst in 2018 by a trio of satellites, including two NASA missions, have captured the first direct evidence that most of the explosion’s visible light arose from shock waves — abrupt changes of pressure and temperature formed in the explosion debris.

Loss of smell and taste has been anecdotally linked to COVID-19 infections. 

The rapid progression of technology has led to a huge increase in energy usage to process the massive troves of data generated by devices. 

Researchers are ramping up production of a promising drug that has proven effective in obliterating SARS-CoV in cellular cultures. 

Commercially prepared baby foods that purport to be loaded with dark green vegetables are sweetened with fruit puree and often don’t contain a high percentage of dark green vegetable content, according to a team of researchers.

Scientists at the Severinov Laboratory in Skoltech and their colleagues from Russia and the US have uncovered a new mechanism of bacterial self-defense against microcin C, a potent antibiotic weapon in the microscopic world that can sometimes turn on its master.

As the only alkaline gas in the atmosphere, ammonia can react with sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides to form secondary fine particles, accelerating the generation of atmospheric haze.

NASA’s Terra satellite passed over the Southern Pacific Ocean and captured a visible image of extra-tropical cyclone Harold.

In a new study, published in the journal Nature, Michigan State University scientists show how plant genes select which microbes get to live inside their leaves in order to stay healthy.
