Plants absorb carbon dioxide and water, use sunlight to make sugars, and release oxygen. So if the air contains more CO₂, shouldn’t forests grow faster, store more carbon, and help cool the planet?
It’s plausible and often repeated, but it…

Astronomers have uncovered hidden evidence that Malin 1, the largest known low-surface-brightness galaxy in the universe, is quietly growing by swallowing smaller dwarf galaxies, a process that had remained invisible until now.

About 530 million years ago, during the early rise of complex animal life, a massive marine die-off erased roughly 45% of ocean species.

Deep beneath the planet’s surface, Earth’s core behaves in a way scientists have struggled to explain for decades, with consequences for how the planet moves and protects itself.
New evidence now suggests that the solid heart of Earth is…

A team from MIT has reported in the journal Science that they have discovered a way to shrink objects down to 1,000 times smaller than their original size, reaching the nanometric scale. How does this so-called “implosion fabrication”…
