The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the system of currents responsible for shuttling warm water ...

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to ...

Earth’s inner core has long puzzled scientists because seismic waves move through it unevenly. Compressional waves from earthquakes travel about 3 to 4 percent faster along the planet’s rotation axis ...

The carbon cycle in our oceans is critical to the balance of life in ocean waters and for reducing carbon in the atmosphere, a significant process to curbing climate change or global warming. A study ...

Spawning is the very beginning of the salmon life cycle and is the process of releasing eggs and fertilizing them. This takes place in rivers, and these are often the very same rivers where the ...

A new study reveals that Earth’s climate “thermostat” may sometimes overreact, turning global warming into an unexpected deep freeze. Credit: Shutterstock Scientists have uncovered a hidden feedback ...

Salt Creek in Death Valley, California. A new analysis reveals that rivers in arid landscapes are helping to soak up more carbon dioxide than previously thought. “Rivers are one of the most uncertain ...

Scientists have created a glowing molecular probe that lets them watch marine microbes digest sugars in real time. This breakthrough tool reveals how algae and bacteria interact in the ocean and how ...

Research reveals how reducing dimensionality can trap heat, opening the door to high-efficiency energy devices. (Nanowerk News) Thermal energy conversion technologies, such as thermionic and ...

CALGARY, Canada — Mars once breathed carbon in and out just like Earth does today. NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered evidence that the Red Planet had its own version of Earth’s carbon cycle, a ...

Battery innovation doesn’t always get the spotlight, but maybe it should. After all, it’s one of the few things that truly defines the day-to-day user experience. Over the years, smartphone processors ...

Mesopelagic fish, long overlooked in ocean chemistry, are now proven to excrete carbonate minerals much like their shallow-water counterparts—despite living in dark, high-pressure depths. Using the ...
