Scientists find how organic aerosols can affect environment, climate

As climate change accelerates, plants are under increasing pressure to adapt to changing habitats and environmental conditions.

Melbourne researchers have uncovered important new information on how microbes absorb huge amounts of carbon monoxide (CO) and assist in reducing levels of this deadly gas.

According to new research from the University of Surrey, climate change has an impact on Salmonella spread. This study builds on prior work by the researchers, which discovered that weather change is contributing to the spread of deadly diarrhoeal illnesses.

Artificial intelligence can provide important insights into how complex chemical mixes in rivers affect aquatic life, paving the path for more effective environmental protection.

The significance of gamma-delta T cells in 33 different cancer types is revealed in a recent study that was published in Cell Press. This information sheds light on the cells' potential as clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets in the treatment of cancer. This thorough examination, which was carried out under the direction of a group of Moffitt Cancer Center experts, marks a substantial breakthrough in our knowledge of these distinct immune cells and how they affect cancer therapy outcomes for patients.

A new study allays concerns that rerouting planes to avoid producing climate-warming contrails may accidentally exacerbate climate change.

Two of the planet's most urgent environmental stressors have the potential to affect the development and reproductive production of plants found along the world's coasts, according to new research.

There are considerable variances in how much people are exposed to air pollution, according to a new study co-authored by MIT researchers that considers everyday mobility.

Tuning this environment by controlling how the CoPc catalyst was distributed on the carbon nanotube surface allowed carbon dioxide to be as much as eight times more likely to produce methanol, a discovery that could increase the efficiency of other catalytic processes and have a widespread impact on other fields, said Robert Baker, co-author of the study and a professor in chemistry and biochemistry at The Ohio State University.

The University of Delaware and the Argonne National Laboratory have developed a chemical process that converts Styrofoam into the high-value conducting polymer PEDOT:PSS. The researchers show how improved plastic trash may be successfully integrated into functional electronic devices such as silicon-based hybrid solar cells and organic electrochemical transistors.
