Human activities continue to pump billions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, raising global ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

However, the effects of specific land use types, such as energy production, often require frameworks that are more specific. But even if decisions are made using well-vetted models and data, there is ...

The law of conservation of energy ... for gravitational potential energy close to the earth as being the first non-zero term in the Taylor Expansion of the general expression. This is something we use ...

Since the pandemic, drug trials that purposely make people vomit, shiver and ache have become a research area of growing interest. All that’s needed: brave volunteers. Credit...Jon Han Supported ...

Modern science, surely, has no place for grey areas and guessing ... it’s natural that it should also be the working base unit of wildlife conservation, at least in its public-facing forms.

There’s a growing demand for professionals with skills in wildlife protection, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management. This course will give you a solid scientific grounding in the science ...

A large chunk of the greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap the Sun’s heat are generated through energy production, by burning fossil fuels (oil, coal, and gas) to generate electricity and ...

Our physics expert picks his top-five equations, plus a scheme to supply US power needs with a bucket of baseballs. Thanks, Einstein!
