'Molecular movie' technology reveals a better way to thwart environmental pollutant
'Molecular movie' technology reveals a better way to thwart environmental pollutant Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The latest production from the "molecular movie" imaging technology developed at Oregon State University is a new, inexpensive way of dealing with a common environmental pollutant. Based on short-pulse lasers, the imaging technology allows chemical and biological actions to be measured as they are occurring, one high-speed frame at a time. The...
Dead Sea archaea sport reinforced swimming tail for hypersalty waters
Dead Sea archaea sport reinforced swimming tail for hypersalty waters Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Living in the Dead Sea would be a very unpleasant experience for most creatures. With salt concentration above 30% and temperatures ranging from 10–50°C, it takes unique environmental adaptations to survive in such harsh conditions. In a new Nature Communications study, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the Institute of...
Research project provides new estimates of greater amberjack abundance in U.S. South Atlantic, Gulf of America
Research project provides new estimates of greater amberjack abundance in U.S. South Atlantic, Gulf of America Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A multi-year research project has provided new insight into greater amberjack. The Greater Amberjack Count was led by Sean P. Powers, Ph.D., fisheries ecology professor and Director of the Stokes School of Marine and Environmental Sciences of the University of South Alabama. A team of 20 scientists from more than a dozen...
Ancient hominins selected basalt sources for specific tools nearly 800,000 years ago, study reveals
A new study finds that ancient hominins nearly 800,000 years ago deliberately selected specific basalt sources for different stages of tool production rather than simply using whatever stone was available nearby. By tracing the geochemical "fingerprints" of stone tools to both exposed and now-buried basalt flows, the researchers demonstrated that these hominins possessed detailed environmental knowledge, advanced planning abilities, and long-term technological traditions that were maintained...
CarbonSim: A Lifecycle-Aware Framework for Evaluating Carbon Tradeoffs in Hardware Upgrade Decisions
Announce Type: new Abstract: As the demand for information and communication technologies (ICT) continues to rise, the environmental impact of computing systems is becoming an increasingly critical concern. Although newer hardware often improves performance and energy efficiency, these gains do not always offset the carbon cost of premature replacement, particularly under low-utilization workloads or low-carbon electricity grids. We present CarbonSim, a lifecycle-aware simulation framework...
Monitoring reveals elevated antidepressant levels in some waterways
Depression, anxiety and sleep disorders are among the conditions often treated with antidepressant drugs. Yet, up to 90% of these drugs pass through the body into wastewater. They're also difficult to remove during water treatment, presenting a possible risk of environmental contamination and threats to ecological and human health.
Enhancing Strawberry Yield Forecasting with Backcasted IoT Sensor Data and Machine Learning
Announce Type: replace Abstract: Rapid global population growth underscores the need for digitally enabled agricultural systems that support sustainable food production and data-driven resource management for farmers and stakeholders. The adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, capable of capturing real-time environmental (e.g., temperature, humidity) and operational (e.g., irrigation) parameters, is a crucial step toward enabling advanced applications such as AI-based yield...
Satellite images reveals mangroves rebounding worldwide — but here's why they could still 'drown'
Satellite images reveals mangroves rebounding worldwide — but here's why they could still 'drown' A new study finds mangrove forests are no longer shrinking worldwide, offering hope for coastal protection and climate resilience. But other research warns sea level rise could reduce their ability to store carbon. Mangrove forests, long considered among the world's most threatened ecosystems, are now showing signs of global rebound, a new study reports.
Scientists sound the alarm as dangerous amoebas spread globally
Scientists sound the alarm as dangerous amoebas spread globally - Date: - June 6, 2026 - Source: - Shenyang Agricultural University - Summary: - Scientists warn that free-living amoebae may be an underappreciated public health threat, capable of causing deadly infections and shielding other dangerous microbes from water treatment. Climate change and aging infrastructure could help these resilient organisms spread more widely in the years ahead. - Share: Environmental and public health...
Algal blooms explained: How scientists are helping spot them sooner
Algal blooms explained: How scientists are helping spot them sooner Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Algal blooms can seem to appear overnight. A stretch of ocean that looked clear days earlier can suddenly appear discolored and sometimes pose risks to ecosystems and human health. But scientists say blooms are rarely sudden—understanding what happens before they appear is key to managing them.
