A single dry winter decimated California’s salmon and trout populations

Northwestern researchers have demonstrated that multiple inexpensive and abundant materials, including activated carbon, nanostructured graphite and iron and aluminum oxide nanoparticles, can facilitate direct air capture of CO2.

Carbon capture could become practical with these scalable, affordable materials

Researchers Find That Frogs Can Quickly Increase Their Tolerance to Pesticides

A wave channel experiment used a zoom lens camera and a custom Python script to process imagery of four different zones: wave generation, shoaling and breaking, air detained by a plunging jet of water, and air trapped at bores where water level rises rapidly. The study provided essential insights into the physical and chemical impacts of microplastics at the air-water interface.

In 50 years, northern hemisphere cities will experience climates similar to those found further south today. For instance, if you reside in Washington, D.C., you would need to travel to northern Louisiana to get a sense of what Washington, D.C. will feel like by 2080, with summers projected to be 11.5°F warmer by then.
