The relationship between two tiny organisms that work together for mutual benefit is being strained by hotter conditions brought about by climate change, new research has shown.

A new study suggests that dinosaurs could have been 70% heavier than fossil evidence suggests. Computer modelling was used to estimate the potential length and weight of T.rex, with the potential to use the model on all dinosaur species.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) new fire detection and warning tools underwent testing in June, promising faster wildfire responses and improved safety measures.
New research suggests that lightning strikes on early Earth may have played a crucial role in sparking the chemical reactions necessary for life to begin, creating reactive molecules essential for the emergence of early biomolecules.
A "super sized" drill core taking out a piece of the Earth's inner mantle exposes what it is really made of and its secret history, including some glimpses of what was going on when earliest life began.
Earth’s topography is a result of what happens beneath the surface. In places like South Africa, Brazil and India, plateaus are in locations where plateau formation would be unusual, until now.
This new tool uses Artificial Intelligence to predict violent giant waves (Rogue Waves) and warn ships.
The nearest human settlement is over 2,400 km away, while Cape Town, South Africa, the closest inhabited center to Tristan located on a continent, is 2,810 km away. In short, there is no more isolated place on Earth than this.
Among the fascinating astronomical events that summer has in store for us is the possibility of enjoying the spectacular Milky Way without the need to use telescopes. An opportunity not to be missed.
An ancient genus of tree with a unique type of wood could help solve a modern, man-made problem.
Deep-sea currents on the seafloor change intensity with the seasons and can even change direction within hours, with important implications for the pathways of nutrients and pollutants.
The mystery of why the most stable part of continents are actually uplifted is exposed. It has to do with an underlying geological force which also helps spur diamonds from below.
