Microorganisms can do remarkable things—for example, nitrogen fixation, the conversion of nitrogen gas (N₂) into a form that ...

Thermoelectric materials can directly convert heat into electricity, making them promising for recovering waste heat from ...

Researchers have developed a method for extrapolating sea surface temperatures from sparse data that is significantly more accurate than other commonly used computational methods and slightly more ...

A venting black smoker emits jets of particle-laden fluids. The particles are predominantly very fine-grained sulfide minerals formed when the hot hydrothermal fluids mix with near-freezing seawater.

Bowel cancer affects many people around the world every year, and researchers have spent years investigating how lifestyle factors may influence the risk of developing the disease. A British study is ...
