Green pollution: UK must act immediately to prevent a huge waste management problem caused by electric car batteries
Electric vehicles are poised to create a massive waste management problem in the future without early intervention to reduce waste from electric vehicle batteries, according to a study published in the journal Nature. In a review of current battery recycling efforts, a team led by the University of Birmingham researchers reported that the British government and the industry need to act now to meet future […]

An ancient volcano lurks beneath Germany – is it capable of erupting?
A volcano used to loom just outside of Berlin in Germany. When the land on which it stood rifted long ago, it toppled to the ground and got buried by layers of rocks. Millions of years later, is it still capable of erupting? History of the ancient volcano outside Berlin In the late 1960s, a group of excavators mined […]

Sustainable farming: 7 Indigenous practices to preserve crop and soil health
In an industry dominated by pesticides and synthetic products, traditional farming offers an alternative approach to protecting crops and the soil. It provides sustainable solutions to contemporary challenges, such as biodiversity loss and land degradation, without relying on harmful industrial methods. Here are seven indigenous practices that promote sustainability in agriculture: 1. Thai rotational cropping The Hin Lad Nai community in […]

“Superionic” minerals flow through Earth’s deep mantle, according to study
A recent study published in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests that Earth’s deep mantle likely harbors hydrous minerals that are in an extreme phase of water known as “superionic ice.” Also called “superionic water,” superionic ice is black, hot and several times heavier than normal ice. This strange phase has both solid and liquid properties at the same time – the hydrogen […]

Marine life is thriving on the Antarctic seafloor, even after being trapped under the ice for 50 years
Researchers have discovered that the Antarctic seabed is teeming a rich community of sea creatures. The marine organisms – trapped under the ice for five decades – came to light after an iceberg over two times bigger than New York City broke off of the Brunt Ice Shelf in northern Antarctica last month. The iceberg, called A-74, drifted into the Weddell Sea […]

Analysis of mutated fern spores sheds light on link between mercury and mass extinction
A study published in the journal Science Advances found that increased mercury levels in the environment may have contributed to the mass extinction more than 200 million years ago. An international team of researchers analyzed mutated fern spores from core samples dating to that period and found a strong link between mercury and the mass extinction event. “By looking […]

Accumulation of ammonia from agriculture linked to cloud formations over Asia
European researchers found that cloud formations over Asia are influenced by ammonia from agriculture. In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers described how ammonia from livestock and fertilizers rises up into the atmosphere to form a seasonal aerosol layer. Aerosol layer largely made up of ammonia-based chemical The Asian tropopause aerosol layer (ATAL) is an accumulation of […]

Green scream: Plants emit “ultrasonic squeals” when stressed by drought or physical damage
Plants let out “ultrasonic squeals” when they are damaged or stressed by drought. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel discovered this after placing microphones near tomato and tobacco plants. Thanks to the microphones, the researchers were able to detect distinct sounds emanating from the plants. The sounds are too high-frequency for humans to hear, but other plants and some animals may be able to perceive […]

Vesuvius eruption wiped out people of Pompeii because it lasted longer than 15 minutes, study finds
A new study suggests that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius two millennia ago may have killed the inhabitants of the ancient city of Pompeii because it lasted longer than 15 minutes. The majority of the victims died of asphyxiation, or suffocation, caused by a giant cloud of ash and toxic gases. In a study published in the […]

Study shows how plants time their flowering in the spring
A new study published in the journal Genes & Development found that a key molecule in flowering plants becomes very active in response to the first frost of autumn. Called “COOLAIR,” the molecule prepares plants for flowering in spring by suppressing a gene called FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC), which inhibits flowering. Exploring the molecular process behind vernalization Vernalization is the initiation of […]
