From sizzling bacon in the kitchen to wildfire smoke in the sky, cooking and pollution release microscopic particles that affect humans' health, the air they breathe, and even weather and climate.

The plumbing systems of volcanos are vast and complex. But they aren’t consistent, even in the same volcano.

Cornell researchers have developed a new type of computing device that stores information electrically but reads it through tiny mechanical motion, an unusual approach that could open a path toward more energy-efficient hardware for artificial intelligence and scientific computing.

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.
