Wildfire smoke is no longer just a short‑lived air quality problem drifting over cities for a few hazy days. New research shows that when these plumes rise high into the atmosphere, they can spawn ...

The ocean has long acted as a stabilizing force in the climate system, quietly drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere ...

Oceans absorb about a quarter of the carbon dioxide released by human activity every year, slowing the pace of global warming ...

Researchers created a method to track nanoplastic uptake and transport in plants, detecting them in winter wheat roots during lab trials. (Nanowerk News) Microplastics and nanoplastics in soils are a ...

Researchers used theoretical calculations assessing electron orbital symmetry to synthesize new molecule designed to be both transparent and colorless while absorbing near-infrared light. This ...

Photons carry momentum, and the light-matter interaction can transfer the momentum from the photons to the object. The engineering of a laser beam using high numerical aperture (NA) objective can trap ...

Dust storms from Africa’s Saharan Desert traveling across the Atlantic Ocean are nothing new, but the current dust storm has been quite expansive and NASA satellites have provided a look at the ...
