Researchers identified collapsing trade winds as a key factor in ocean temperature spikes causing coral bleaching in the Great Barrier Reef. Their findings challenge the belief that El Niño is the main cause.

Research shows that polypropylene mesh, commonly used in vaginal surgeries, begins to degrade within 60 days post-implantation. The study found increased stiffness and oxidation in the material.

Researchers synthesized a novel Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) using the “Merged-Net Strategy,” inspired by architectural techniques. This innovative approach enhances the stability, water adsorption capacity, and reusability of the MOF.

Researchers at NC State University have identified that the methoxy content in lignin influences microbial fermentation, facilitating the conversion of trees into sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based industrial chemicals.

For reasons that researchers don't yet understand, queen bees are more likely to hibernate in pesticide-contaminated soil than in clean soil.

In stalk-eyed flies, longer eyestalks attract females, so flies with shorter eyestalks compensate by fighting harder, a new study has found.

Researchers are developing methods to extract valuable biopolymers from wastewater treatment plants. These biopolymers offer sustainable alternatives to oil-based products, with potential applications in industries like construction and paper.

A study reveals a method for selecting mangrove bacteria that can transform polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The research identifies the novel genus Mangrovimarina plasticivorans, which carries enzymes capable of breaking down PET.

A study reveals that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with increased blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. The research highlights the need for dietary guidelines.

A study reveals that CO2 emissions from forest fires increased by 60% globally since 2001, particularly in northern boreal forests where emissions nearly tripled. The findings emphasize the urgent need for climate mitigation.
