A forested mountain stream can be far from busy roads and still receive plastic pollution from the air. A study in western North Carolina found that Hurricane Helene sharply increased the microplastics deposited at three monitoring sites.

Something unusual is happening in the Mediterranean Sea, and it goes far beyond the changes scientists have been tracking at the surface. New research reveals a shift unfolding across the basin at surprising depths, raising fresh questions about what it could mean for the sea’s future.

Have you ever wondered if there's a way to make plastic disappear after it's no longer needed? Researchers at the University of California San Diego might have found an answer.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a very smart process that has to potential to close the loop on plastic waste.

Chemists at University College London (UCL) have found a way to show how two of life’s essential ingredients—RNA and amino acids—might have come together nearly four billion years ago.

Have you ever wondered how animals adapt to urban life, with its traffic jams and busy streets? A fascinating observation by researcher Dr. Vladimir Dinets sheds light on how some birds might not only survive but cleverly take advantage of human activities—particularly traffic.

Research reveals a concerning trend: America's largest cities are slowly sinking—some faster than others

Scientists have discovered just how little of the deep ocean we've actually seen.

A team of scientists has developed a new method to create carbon-negative materials using seawater, electricity, and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This new process not only locks away CO₂ in solid form but also yields hydrogen gas, a useful clean fuel.

Bio-based materials intended to replace traditional plastics might actually pose a greater health risk to some of the planet's most crucial species than plastics themselves.

New research by the universities of Exeter and Oxford suggests that concentrating on just one objective when restoring forests can be a potential pitfall. In this article we will briefly go over why that is the case.

Researchers from the UK have recently pieced together clues from fossil fragments that point to a potentially enormous discovery—a new species of marine reptile that could have been one of the largest ever.
