The visualization draws upon flow models from electronic circuit theory, taking inspiration from existing visualizations of wind flow across the U.S.

The new method builds on an existing technique, also developed by Plymouth University over the last 10 years, which identified a means by which scientists could measure changes to sea ice in the Arctic

Underwater soundscape may offer clues to coral health and aid reef conservation

Recently, scientists have come up with the idea of collecting the DNA of organisms from environmental samples, such as soil or water, for the determination of various species

From chloroplasts to carbon dioxide, Reactions creates a hypothetical photosynthetic human and gives a quick crash course on the chemistry of photosynthesis

Using the Findenser technology, the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, San Diego was able to save an estimated 5.7 million liters of water 

Evidence growing of health problems linked to fracking industry

The researchers conclude that rising biofuel use has been associated with a net increase—rather than a net decrease, as many have claimed—in the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming

The new material is based on polymer hollow fibers treated to retain their structure—and pore sizes—as they are converted to carbon through pyrolysis

With the right plant, indoor air could become cleaner and safer

The research provides insight into the long-term impacts of rising CO₂ and the implications for global food security and nature conservation

“This study shows that our air quality, particularly ozone in the fall, is becoming more sensitive to the effects of climate change,” said Yuhang Wang, a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology
