Although the minimum sea ice extent returned to near-average values, scientists warn that this is not a recovery, but rather a pause within a deeper and more concerning trend.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a way to convert plastic waste into acetic acid, the main component of vinegar, using sunlight.
Kitchen sponges are among the most commonly used household items and may represent an underestimated source of microplastics.
Air pollution threatens most of the world’s population, with climate change–driven wildfires playing a primary role in degrading global air quality, according to a new report.
As 2026 continues its march towards a top-ten warmest year, a new report highlights Earth’s growing energy imbalance, with the oceans storing most of the excess heat, glaciers melting, sea ice shrinking, and 1.2 billion workers exposed to heat.
Cats are not only fascinating. They perceive realities that escape humans, through extreme senses, refined instincts and surprising behaviours.
Many of us know the harms plastic poses to wildlife, and small actions—even like picking up a few bottle caps—can reduce its impact on animals and the environment. Ocean Conservancy has launched the Wildlife Impact Calculator, a tool that shows exactly how these small efforts make a real difference in protecting wildlife like sea turtles and seabirds.
TOI-1452 b is an exoplanet around 70 percent larger than Earth and is considered a strong candidate for an ocean world. Scientists suggest that its oceans could reach depths of hundreds of kilometres.
Sea ice around Antarctica expanded for several decades until a sharp decline occurred in 2015. The reasons behind this change are revealed in research by the University of Gothenburg.
Tiny forms of life embedded in debris blasted from a planet by an asteroid impact could travel through space and arrive on another world still alive, according to new experiments by researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
The annual minimum extent of Antarctic sea ice was reached in late February. This figure is higher than in previous years and even approaches the average.
