CRISPR Helps Researchers Uncover How Corals Adjust To Warming Oceans
The CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system can help scientists understand, and possibly improve, how corals respond to the environmental stresses of climate change.
This May Be the First Complete Observation of a Nanoflare
Nanoflares are tiny eruptions on the Sun, one-billionth the size of normal solar flares. Eugene Parker – of Parker Solar Probe fame – first predicted them in 1972 to solve a major puzzle: the coronal heating problem.
Volcanic Eruptions Directly Triggered Ocean Acidification During Early Cretaceous
Around 120 million years ago, the earth experienced an extreme environmental disruption that choked oxygen from its oceans.
Current Food Production Systems Could Mean Far-Reaching Habitat Loss
The global food system could drive rapid and widespread biodiversity loss if not changed, new research has found.
Variety: Spice of Life for Bumble Bees
The yield and quality of many crops benefit from pollination, but it isn’t just honey bees that do this work: bumble bees also have a role.
