A new study from CU Boulder finds that hundreds of millions of years ago, small single-celled organisms may have evolved into larger multicellular life forms to better propel themselves through icy waters.

The instrument on the International Space Station is uniquely positioned to provide wildfire responders with a high-resolution look at fire progression.

Study shows that heat pumps would cut greenhouse gas emissions everywhere if the grid is moderately decarbonized.

Of all the creatures on Earth, humans manipulate their environments the most. But, how far can we push it before something drastic happens?

Supercomputer-powered 3D imaging of root systems to help breeders develop climate-change adapted plants for farmers

A slow-moving rainstorm overwhelmed rivers and reservoirs, leading to deadly flooding in the province of Henan.

Texas A&M scientists are applying the imaging technology to develop crops with deeper roots and stronger drought resilience.

Trillions of gallons of water are used annually to prevent power plants from overheating. A Texas A&M research group is looking into alternative methods of cooling steam turbines.

University of Adelaide scientists have developed a new simple, inexpensive and fast method to analyse sulfur isotopes, which can be used to help investigate chemical changes in environments such as oceans, and freshwater rivers and lakes.

Just 5 percent of all power plants globally — all of them coal-fired — are responsible for 73 percent of electricity-sector carbon emissions, according to a new study that calls for cutting emissions from “hyper-polluting” power plants.
