‘Dark oxidants’ form away from sunlight in lake and ocean depths, underground soils
All forms of life that breathe oxygen — even ones that can’t be seen with the naked eye, such as bacteria — must fight oxidants to live. But neutralizing environmental oxidants such as superoxide was a worry only for organisms that dwell in sunlight … Continue reading

Global warming: ‘Black carbon’ flowing from soil to oceans
A smaller proportion of black carbon created during combustion will remain in soil than have been estimated before. Contrary to previous understanding, burying black carbon in the ground in order to restrain climate change will not create a permanent c… Continue reading

Taken under the ‘wing’ of the small magellanic cloud: First detection of X-ray emission from young stars with masses similar to our Sun outside our Milky Way galaxy
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is one of the Milky Way’s closest galactic neighbors. In fact, it was so bright that many navigators used this object to make their way across the oceans. A new composite image shows this galaxy like Ferdinand Magellan,… Continue reading

Statistical physics offers a new way to look at climate
New research suggests that statistical simulations rooted in basic physics could make for new climate models that are more useful and require less brute-force computing power. A new article shows how statistical simulations can be applied to fluid jets… Continue reading

A war without end, with Earth’s carbon cycle held in the balance
The greatest battle in Earth’s history has been going on for hundreds of millions of years, isn’t over yet, and until now no one knew it existed, scientists say. It’s between a bacterium that’s the most abundant organism in the oceans and a previously … Continue reading

Tiny marine creature spreading through ocean, stabilizing reefs and islands with calcareous shells
The climate is getting warmer, and sea levels are rising — a threat to island nations. As a group of researchers found out, at the same time, tiny single-cell organisms are spreading rapidly through the world’s oceans, where they might be able to miti… Continue reading
