Fungi buried in forest soil might be quietly pulling down the rain, according to new research, and they might even be doing it more efficiently

A team drilling in Greenland found that a major high point of the ice sheet vanished entirely about 7,000 years ago, during conditions not dramatically warmer than today, and scientists are worried
A new study shows liquid biochar fertilisers boost crop yields, improve nutrient efficiency, and offer strong economic benefits, suggesting a scalable, sustainable alternative to conventional fertilisation without disrupting soil health.
Scientists studying air pollution in rural Oklahoma accidentally discovered a toxic chemical drifting through the atmosphere that's never been picked up in the Western Hemisphere before - and they think sewage-based fertiliser is behind it
The Atlantic current system that keeps Europe's climate stable looks more likely to collapse than previously estimated, after new research found climate models showing the worst outcomes best match real-world data
Climate change is gradually increasing wildfire spread and season length, putting many species at greater risk. A new study suggests impacts may grow, though reducing emissions could help limit future damage.
The scientific community now largely recognises this phenomenon, observed at various volcanoes around the world. But what exactly is it? Here are the explanations provided by science.
New research suggests two icebergs travelling the same path can be very different, but why, and what does this mean for the ocean and our climate?
MIT researchers found leaks from industrial chemicals may delay ozone layer healing by as much as seven years, possibly contributing to increasing UV exposure worldwide.
The Met Office produces nearly 300 text-based weather products, all drafted by human meteorologists. Now it's been testing whether AI could handle some of that heavy lifting, but can it replicate the job?
A team of scientists in Japan reckon they've found a way to change how we capture carbon, with a redesigned material that needs barely any heat to work
Hidden in Ecuador’s forests, a newly discovered glassfrog dazzles with translucent skin and mystery—hinting at vast, unseen biodiversity while quietly facing potential threats from human activity nearby.
