In the face of a rapidly changing climate, the concept of hydroclimate volatility has emerged as a critical area of study, highlighting the dramatic and often sudden fluctuations between extremely dry and wet conditions. This phenomenon poses significant challenges to both natural ecosystems and human societies

We write to you today with a profound sense of alarm and a pressing need for urgent action. The events unfolding in the Antarctic are a stark harbinger of the dangers posed by climate change, and they demand an immediate and concerted global response.
As the global aviation industry strives to reduce its environmental impact, the race is on to develop sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) that can replace traditional petroleum-based jet fuel. One promising solution lies in an unlikely source - the abundant biopolymer lignin
As the global population continues to surge and climate change disrupts traditional water sources, the need for innovative approaches to freshwater production has never been more pressing. Now a promising solution has emerged in the form of sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH) devices
Satellite Radar Reveals Extensive Seawater Intrusions Beneath Thwaites Glacier. This may explain why the rate of glacial loss has been greater than expected from modelling
Fireflies have illuminated summer evenings with their magical glow as long as humanity has observed the night sky, but now anecdotal reports from across North America have suggested that firefly populations have been declining.
Most people are familiar with the scourge of microplastics pollution - the microscopic pieces of plastic debris that are pervasive in our waters. But an even smaller and more insidious form of plastic pollution is gaining attention from scientists - nanoplastics.
New rodent model study suggests ominous tissue distribution of ingested microplastics.
Marine primary productivity is pivotal for transferring carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the ocean. This study shows a 65% decline in net primary production in the surveyed area.
The study probably helped propagate some of the Facebook sharing of articles that described the damage plastic microparticles did to fish but after a report from a...
Researchers have used machine learning to design nano-architected materials that have the strength of carbon steel but the lightness of Styrofoam. The team describes how they made nanomaterials with properties that offer a conflicting combination of exceptional strength, light weight and […]
Researchers used cutting-edge X-ray techniques to gain new insights into 'infinite-layer' nickelate materials.
A research team has made significant discoveries regarding the complex reaction mechanisms of carbon dioxide (CO2) in supercritical water. These findings are crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms of CO2 mineralization and sequestration in nature and engineering, as well as the deep […]
Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team has developed a method and implemented it experimentally for the first time, with which a quantum computer can switch back […]
The novel iron-based catalyst exhibits superior performance for ammonia (NH3) synthesis compared to a well-established, century-old counterpart. By designing this new catalyst with an inverse structure, they managed to boost the NH3 production rate per volume of catalyst beyond levels never reached […]
After 11 years, Boston Dynamics has said goodbye to its humanoid robot ATLAS HD. The robotics company says it’s time for ATLAS to “kick back and relax” in retirement, letting the new all electric ATLAS take over. This video was shared to remember ATLAS HD’s great moments and those not so great.
Header Banner: Speed is the name of the game. The DarkDrug logo shows an Intel Xeon microchip die. Xeon is a brand of x86 microprocessors designed, manufactured, and marketed by Intel, targeted at the non-consumer workstation, server, and embedded system markets. It was introduced in June 1998. The advent ofoptical fibre cable has allowed the speed of data transmission to reach dizzy heights (shown in the DarkDrug logo). The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fibre optics. The term was coined by Indian physicist Narinder Singh Kapany, who is widely acknowledged as the father of fibre optics.
