For The Better

An international study found that intact tropical mountain (or montane) forests in Africa store around 150 tons of carbon per hectare. This means that keeping a hectare of forest standing saves CO2 emissions equivalent to powering 100 homes with electr…

Pulling heat-trapping carbon dioxide out of the air and turning it into useful products, a concept called carbon capture and utilization, has the potential to offer both environmental and economic benefits.

A new study has found that individuals infected with the COVID-19 virus are most contagious two days before, and three days after, they develop symptoms. The study also finds that infected individuals are more likely to be asymptomatic if they contract…

A new study asked more than 470 firefighters how they recover in the field, especially in situations of greatest heat stress.

Mothers of children with autism who delayed their subsequent pregnancy by 2.5 to three years reduced the likelihood of their next child also being diagnosed on the spectrum, new research shows.

Facial recognition is now common in adults, but researchers have developed software that can reliably detect a premature baby’s face in an incubator and remotely monitor its heart and breathing rates – rivaling ECG machines and even outperforming them….

Unrealistic and flawed scientific experiments mean the true impact of nitrogen pollution on the environment is unknownremains poorly understood, a new study warns.

The oldest genome of a modern human from the Wallacea region — the islands between western Indonesia and Papua New Guinea — indicates a previously undescribed ancient human relationship. Researchers were able to isolate sufficient genetic material fr…

Researchers have achieved growth and characterization of large area, single-crystal graphene that has no wrinkles, folds, or adlayers. It can be said to be the most perfect graphene that has been grown and characterized, to date.

Researchers have made the first direct observation of how hydrogen atoms in water molecules tug and push neighboring water molecules when they are excited with laser light.
