National Monitoring Framework Integrates Species-Specific Toxicity with Exposure Data

While diamide insecticides (DAIs) are new alternatives to conventional pesticides with improved selectivity, their environmental footprint needs an investigation.

Rising Global Temperatures Increase Data Center Water Vulnerability to One-Third

One-quarter of the world's data centers are located in areas where water demand exceeds supply for at least one month each year, according to a new global analysis.

Multi-Modal Remote Sensing Fusion Cuts Water Level Prediction Error Half

Water level data traditionally come from hydrological stations, but sparse spatial coverage, high operational costs and limited real-time capability hinder continuous monitoring in complex plain river-network regions, where water level variations are jointly influenced by precipitation, sluice regulation, human activities and agricultural irrigation, exhibiting strong nonlinearity, non-stationarity and spatial heterogeneity.

Researchers Discover Histidine Pendulum Driving Hydrogenase Proton Capture

Nearly all metabolic processes require protons--positively charged hydrogen atoms. Although these are abundant in the cellular fluid, the biocatalysts involved depend on mechanisms for efficiently capturing protons and transporting them to the site where catalysis occurs. Enzymes from microorganisms can produce hydrogen (H2) by combining electrons with protons.

Greener Chemistry Brings Low-Toxicity Perovskite Solar Cells Closer to Production

Solar panels that can be coated onto thin, flexible surfaces could one day be made the way newspapers are printed, at room temperature and without the toxic chemicals the process has relied on, claim researchers from the University of Surrey.

What a Menorcan Goat Farm Reveals About the Future of Soil in the Mediterranean

At es Tonedor, in Es Mercadal, cheese is made the slow way. Unrefined sea salt goes straight onto the rind by hand, rather than the wheel going into a brine bath. The cheeses then mature for around two months at 11–13°C in controlled humidity, turned every two days, their rinds rubbed as they age.

Global Gas Demand Will Not Peak Before 2035, Says GlobalData

Global natural gas demand will keep growing through 2035 in every scenario, rising by almost a fifth as power generation absorbs half of the increase.

New Satellite Analysis Evaluates Stability of Earth’s Towering Ice Cliffs

A new study led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) provides the most comprehensive observational analysis yet of the towering ice cliffs that fringe Earth's ice sheets, giving scientists new evidence to evaluate a long-debated process that could influence future sea level rise.

Using Mass Spectrometry to Track Human Impacts on Aquatic Environments

A Florida State University-led review shows how ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry can help researchers identify the molecular fingerprints of human activity in water systems around the world.

Advancing Sustainable Lawn Management Through the PLEDGE Research Initiative

Climate change has caused sudden and unexpected shifts in weather, including dry spells. What does that mean for your lawn, and are there ways to keep it green without overusing water and fertilizer?

Research Reveals Aircraft Emissions Gain Toxicity Through Atmospheric Chemical Reactions

Researchers at the University of Basel have investigated how fine particles in exhaust emissions from aircraft and marine engines change in the atmosphere. Their findings show that aircraft emissions in particular become more toxic over time.
