In an Instagram video discussing an upcoming trip to Greenland, second lady Usha Vance was spotted sitting in front of a shelf that featured a decidedly non-conservative book about climate change. As the Daily Beast notes, the video published to the official "SLOTUS" (that is, second lady of the United States) account contains a hilarious and seemingly accidental easter egg: a copy of former vice president Al Gore's 1992 book "Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit." As Gore's first treatise on climate change, "Earth in the Balance" accurately predicted the catastrophic conditions we now find ourselves in more [...]
Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by producing oxygen and food.
A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science, Tokyo, has uncovered a surprising role for calcium in shaping life's earliest molecular structures. Their findings suggest that calcium ions can selectively influence how primitive polymers form, shedding light on a long-standing mystery: how life's molecules came to prefer a single "handedness" (chirality).
Mobile gaming is thriving, the Asia-Pacific market is experiencing a surge -- and so are new opportunities and new markets.
Skoltech researchers have theoretically investigated the wide range of molecules that oxygen and carbon atoms can form in addition to the well-known carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Compounds of oxygen and carbon are of interest for space research, battery technology, biochemical studies, and—surprisingly—for the development of industrial explosives and rocket fuel.

Studies that explore how the denser sections of atoms, known as atomic nuclei, interact with neutrons (i.e., particles with no electric charge) can have valuable implications both for the understanding of these atoms' underlying physics and for the development of nuclear energy solutions. A process that is central to these interactions is neutron capture, which entails the absorption of a neutron by a nucleus, followed by the emission of gamma-rays.
Keeping an unvaccinated child as a patient could give pediatricians the chance to educate families on vaccines but may also expose more kids to preventable diseases.
There are new signs that a dangerous fungus is once again on the move. Candida auris is a type of yeast that can cause life-threatening illness.

Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of tissue or drop of blood. But they don't tell you where specific genetic sequences were located inside that sample, or their relationship to other genes and molecules.

Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) have developed a reverse genetics system for African swine fever virus (ASFV). This new system will aid researchers in developing vaccines and in studying the pathogenesis and biology of ASFV, a highly contagious, deadly viral disease affecting domesticated and wild pigs, especially prevalent in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean.

"Angry" citizens often experience a lack of trust in politics and democracy. Governments are doing everything they can to involve this group in democracy again with referendums and participatory budgets. Research by Rosa Kindt shows that this is having an effect: these meetings provide satisfaction and a feeling of being heard, especially among right-wing populist citizens. Kindt's Ph.D. defense will take place on 1 April at Radboud University.

Housing tends to be a key part of household wealth, but despite its importance, it has been difficult to measure the value of a property. In a new article, researchers have studied the impact of a popular machine-learning pricing algorithm on the U.S. housing market. The study found that overall, the algorithm benefited the market.
As global warming intensifies and populations continue to grow, the likelihood of extreme high-temperature events is increasing. Hot–dry compound events, in particular, pose a direct threat to human health. High temperatures can have prolonged and delayed effects on people's health; and under conditions of low relative humidity, the mortality associated with extreme heat rises significantly.
The Hadley circulation, a fundamental component of Earth's atmospheric system, plays a crucial role in global climate regulation by transporting energy and moisture between the tropics and higher latitudes. However, recent studies have revealed a puzzling discrepancy: while reanalysis data suggest a strengthening of the global zonal mean Hadley circulation intensity, climate model simulations predict a weakening trend. What causes this contradiction?
