Honey Bees May Play Key Role in Spreading Viruses to Wild Bumble Bees
Honey bees may play a role in increasing virus levels in wild bumble bees each spring, according to researchers at Penn State who analyzed seasonal trends of parasite and virus transmission in bees.
Electric Reactor Could Cut Industrial Emissions
Currently, industrial processes in the U.S. account for approximately a third of the country’s carbon dioxide emissions – even more than the annual emissions from passenger vehicles, trucks, and airplanes combined. Decarbonizing this sector is a challenging but vital step in mitigating impacts on our future climate.
Study Finds Highest Prediction of Sea-Level Rise Unlikely
In recent years, the news about Earth’s climate—from raging wildfires and stronger hurricanes to devastating floods and searing heat waves—has provided little good news.
New Technology Extracts Lithium from Brines Inexpensively and Sustainably
A new technology can extract lithium from brines at an estimated cost of under 40% that of today’s dominant extraction method, and at just a fourth of lithium’s current market price.
Study Reveals Devastating Power and Colossal Extent of a Giant Underwater Avalanche
New research by the University of Liverpool has revealed how an ancient underwater avalanche grew more than 100 times in size, causing a huge trail of destruction as it travelled 2000 km across the Atlantic Ocean sea floor off the Northwest coast of Africa.
