Strongest Arctic cyclone on record led to surprising loss of sea ice

A warming climate is causing a decline in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, where loss of sea ice has important ecological, economic and climate impacts. On top of this…

Fertilizing the ocean to store carbon dioxide

Iron-based fertilizer, engineered into nanoparticles, could help store excess carbon dioxide in the ocean. The urgent need to remove excess carbon dioxide from Earth’s environment could include enlisting some of…

Obscure heat transfer behaviors

Discovery shows heat movement slowing down under extreme pressure instead of speeding up. UCLA researchers and their colleagues have discovered a new physics principle governing how heat transfers through materials,…

Bioreactor keeps cell culture conditions under control

Laboratory parameters maintained at physiologically relevant levels allow for more robust experiments with human cells. A cell-culturing technique developed by KAUST scientists helps to create biological conditions that more closely…

A warmer Arctic Ocean leads to more snowfall further south

A new model explains that water evaporating from the Arctic Ocean due to a warming climate is transported south and can lead to increased snowfall in northern Eurasia in late…

Break­ing ni­tro­gen while gen­er­at­ing meth­ane

In­sights into a “hot” mi­crobe that can grow on ni­tro­gen while pro­du­cing meth­ane. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology have successfully enhanced cultivation of a microorganism that…
