Researchers at McGill University used 2,000-year-old stone jars in Laos to observe long-term ecological processes, enhancing understanding of how strongly tree cover shapes small freshwater ecosystems ...

Life needs nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. But without the right balance of oxygen, these elements get locked away in planets’ cores.

From brightly colored textile dyes to persistent pesticides and antibiotics, many modern pollutants dissolved in water—such ...

Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

New research shows that early land plants started influencing Earth’s climate hundreds of millions of years earlier than ...

Scientists are developing cancer-eating bacteria designed to grow inside oxygen-free tumors and attack cancer from within.

White phosphorus can cause severe and often life-threatening injuries. When it comes into contact with human skin, it burns intensely and can continue burning until the chemical is removed or deprived ...

Yield loss is increasingly driven by molecular variability in thin films, interfaces, and contamination rather than visible defects. Reliability issues often appear first as parametric drift or margin ...

Deuterium can be electrochemically separated from ordinary hydrogen far more efficiently than current techniques using a ...

Around 2.3 billion years ago, the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) marked a major turning point in Earth’s history. The increase ...

Sunlight hits tiny particles of plastic floating in a clear water solution. Slowly, they begin to disappear, leaving behind a familiar household chemical: acetic acid, the main ingredient in vinegar.

Direct Chemical Release: Missiles and artillery rockets often contain substances like nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur. For ...
