For allergy sufferers, the pollination period is a tough time, whereas for plants it is the opportunity to reproduce: in addition to the wind, insects, in particular, carry the pollen from one flower to another to pollinate them.

Fuel cells are pollution-free power sources that convert chemical energy to electricity with high efficiency and zero emissions.

Your immune system’s natural killer cells recognize and attack two major kinds of danger – cells infected by viruses and cells affected by cancer.

Connected areas of high-quality forest running through oil palm plantations could help support increased levels of biodiversity, new research suggests.

An international team of scientists reviewed more than 10,000 published climate change studies and has reached a sobering conclusion.

The quantity of cosmic dust that trickles down to Earth each year ranges between several thousand and ten thousand tons. 

To investigate the vastly unexplored oceans covering most our planet, researchers aim to build a submerged network of interconnected sensors that send data to the surface — an underwater “internet of things.” 

Wildfires in the West are becoming inevitable, and communities that rethink what it means to live with them will likely fare better than those that simply rebuild after they burn.
