What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic, and a new NASA mission is helping improve data modeling and increasing our understanding of Earth’s rapidly changing climate. Changing ice, ocean, and atmospheric conditions in the northernmost part of Earth have a large impact on the entire planet. That’s because the Arctic region acts…
The high levels of consumption enjoyed by wealthy countries in the Global North are only possible because of mass appropriation of labor from the population of the Global South. This is evidenced by research from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), which indicates that this appropriation takes…
A research team has found that optimal storage temperatures are crucial for preserving vegetables’ quality, with tropical plants particularly susceptible to low temperatures, leading to a “chilling injury” (CI) condition.

A research team investigated the impact of salt stress on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) floral transition, revealing that salt stress significantly reduced plant biomass and caused early flowering and smaller flowers. This study underscores the importance of understanding salt stress effects on crops, as it highlights how moderate salt stress can accelerate flowering by upregulating the…
Dutch mosquitos are more resilient to saltwater than previously thought. Environmental scientist Sam Boerlijst discovered this during his Ph.D. research at the Hortus botanicus. This knowledge is crucial for understanding how mosquito-borne disease transmission might change in the future. Dutch mosquitos are more resilient to saltwater than previously thought. Environmental scientist Sam Boerlijst discovered this during…

The history of science is a series of paradigm shifts—conventional theories debunked and replaced by new discoveries. Kanso Bioinspired Motion Lab at USC Viterbi School of Engineering has made a habit of such paradigm shifts, publishing their findings in leading journals.

A new study has found that a person’s face tends to evolve to suit their name. The researchers sought to determine whether parents choose a baby name based on what seems fitting for the baby’s appearance, or if the process is the other way around—that, over the years, the individual’s facial appearance changes to match…
