Anthropogenic, or human-made, heat flux in the near-surface atmosphere has changed urban thermal environments. 

Engineers at MIT and Imperial College London have developed a new way to generate tough, functional materials using a mixture of bacteria and yeast similar to the “kombucha mother” used to ferment tea.

Wild bees are more affected by climate change than by disturbances to their habitats, according to a team of researchers led by Penn State. 

An unfortunate truth about the use of mechanical ventilation to save the lives of patients in respiratory distress is that the pressure used to inflate the lungs is likely to cause further lung damage.

New research has found as climate change causes the world’s oceans to warm, baby sharks are born smaller, exhausted, undernourished and into environments that are already difficult for them to survive in.

In a time when every trip out of the house and every person we come in contact with poses a threat of contracting COVID-19, it can be difficult to weigh the risks and benefits of venturing out. 

Data from Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico has been used to help detect the first possible hints of low-frequency disturbances in the curvature of space-time.

Sea level rise and new development are on a collision course in South Carolina lowcountry.

Positive “tipping points” could spark cascading changes that accelerate action on climate change, experts say.
