Hydroxyl molecule signature detected in an “ultra-hot Jupiter” exoplanet
Astronomers obtain the first direct evidence of hydroxyl molecules in the atmosphere of a planet beyond the Solar System.
Tourism and climate change threaten Lake Baikal, a unique global treasure
Mass tourism has grown exponentially across the last decade, bringing nearly 2 million tourists to Baikal’s sparsely populated shores.
Earth Day 2021: How technology is helping to fight the climate crisis
Seven emerging technologies that could help to mitigate the most devastating effects of climate change.
Oxygen biosignature alone does not indicate life on other planets
Oxygen is a promising exoplanet biosignature, but several scenarios exist in which a lifeless, rocky planet could evolve to have non-biological oxygen in its atmosphere.
Green-sky science aims to bring us closer to net-zero aviation
The race is on to scale down the cost of sustainable aviation fuel production technologies and scale up production capacity.
Does responsible climate leadership include research into solar geoengineering?
Very little is known about the effects of solar geoengineering interventions, and many researchers agree that research as well as deployment should be carefully governed.
Climate change and the city
With increasing rates of urbanization and its detrimental effects on the environment, reducing the risk posed by “urban climate change” requires more research to prepare ourselves for an uncertain future.
A spotlight on robots helps them turn “feeling” into movement
Researchers recreate the somatic nervous system in robots, allowing them to convert feeling into movement under different stimuli.
Overcoming electrical current leaks in modern memory devices
A new device significantly decreases unwanted current leakage from memory devices, which could help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of future data centers.
