A new study found that during an abrupt climate crisis in the past, the North Atlantic did not respond uniformly. Some currents weakened, others strengthened, and the Gulf Stream shifted. Why does this matter to us today?
The Rubin Observatory has just taken a giant step in astronomy: in a single night, it issued 800,000 alerts about changes in the sky. The system, which promises to revolutionize how we observe the universe, is expected to be fully operational before the end of the year.
After the reentry of Falcon 9, a team of scientists was able to detect and quantify for the first time the chemical pollution left by the rocket as it disintegrated in the upper atmosphere. These data are essential for assessing the climate impact of space exploration.
For centuries, peatlands stored carbon, but then we drained them for agriculture and they became sources of emissions. A study in Norway measured how much the water level needs to be raised to remove these emissions.
A group of geologists symbolically descended into the bowels of the planet to understand why the Earth's magnetic field behaves so capriciously, discovering that the Earth's engine does not work as previously thought
For over a hundred years, an island called Sandy appeared on nautical charts and official maps off the coast of Australia. In 2012, a scientific expedition sailed to its coordinates and discovered something unexpected
An anomaly in the depths of the Indian Ocean 20,000 years ago might have altered the pace of global warming. A study reconstructs how our planet emerged from the last ice age
In an unprecedented bet on survival, the Arab country has transformed its geology into a vault. Billions of litres of desalinated water are stored underground, providing a life insurance policy against climate change and global crises.
Watching the sea glow in the dark isn’t a special effect — it’s pure biology. These are seven beaches around the world where phytoplankton light up the waves, turning the night into an unforgettable blue-green spectacle.
Two people in the same place, at the same time, under the same temperature… and yet one is fanning themselves while the other is reaching for a jacket. Who’s right? In fact, both are. The mystery isn’t in the thermometer, but in the human body.
Can you imagine a vibrant, life-filled garden that doesn't require a single bit of soil? Plants that grow in water make this possible, offering a fresh, elegant, and surprisingly simple way to decorate any corner of your home.
A new study concluded that eating pistachios every night for three months can alter the gut microbiome in people with prediabetes. Interest in this food is growing in Argentina, as it's not only delicious, but could be an unexpected ally for metabolic health.
It's the most isolated continent on the planet, where the wind cuts through the silence and human presence is minimal. Yet a study found clear signs of our daily routines in its snow. The question is: how did they get there?
This proposal would not only serve to better understand a chaotic and underexplored part of our atmosphere. If implemented on a large scale, it could reduce location errors by several meters, a crucial difference in emergency situations.
If you have an orchid at home and its leaves are wrinkled like raisins, the solution isn't expensive fertiliser or radical pruning. The best-kept secret of plant lovers is to take it to the bathroom.
Roof Paint to Beat the Heat: The Ingenious Solution That Improves Health in Vulnerable Neighborhoods
