Climate change will likely result in a significant rise in deaths from heat across Europe, substantially surpassing any decrease in cold-related deaths. This trend persists across climate change scenarios and even under high adaptation to heat, reinforcing the need for aggressive mitigation policies.

Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It’s responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites, but there are other forces that have shaped our planetary neighborhood. Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force…
Research conducted by an international team and led by biologists at the University of Kentucky has found that the ability to regenerate complex tissue may be more widespread in mammals than previously thought—an important step toward figuring out why many mammals, and humans in particular, have poor regenerative ability. Basic research studies like this hold…
There might be a type of exoplanet without dry land. They’re called “Hycean” worlds, a portmanteau of “hydrogen” and “ocean.” They’re mostly or entirely covered in oceans and have thick hydrogen atmospheres.

A team of paleoanthropologists and geneticists from Aix Marseille Univ, CNRS, EFS, ADES has found evidence of what may have been a contributing factor to the decline of Neanderthals. In their paper published in the journal Scientific Reports, the group describes how they conducted genetic sequencing of three hominid gene populations to learn more about…
Climate change is melting away glaciers around the world, but in the Andes Mountains, a wild relative of the llama is helping local ecosystems adapt to these changes by dropping big piles of dung.

Even though the Palisades and Eaton fires are now mostly contained, the Santa Ana winds have led to new fires flaring up across Los Angeles County. While many of the latter have been in areas of dense brush, resulting in wildfire smoke, the destruction of homes, businesses and various structures in the earlier blazes has…
Teams with NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems Program continue stacking the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket’s twin solid rocket booster motor segments for the agency’s Artemis II mission, inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

With reptiles gaining popularity as pets in the U.K., an understanding of their behavioral and welfare requirements has never been more critical. In contrast to what we know about the positive effects of providing enriched environments for popular pet species such as dogs and cats, there is a significant lack of scientific research regarding the…
There’s often little warning when a tsunami strikes, but a research team at USF aims to improve the forecasting of these hazardous events for communities that are most at risk.
