Understanding neutrinos: The research that led to the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics
Neutrinos are particles that interact very weakly with matter and can pass through the Earth almost without leaving a trace. The detection of high-energy…

“We cannot control climate change, but we can control microclimates”: the strategy to save Mediterranean forests
Climate change cannot be halted overnight, but its consequences can be mitigated. The preservation of the microclimates within Mediterranean forests is a good example…

Antarctica’s ‘doomsday’ glacier will keep melting even if oceans cool
Computer models suggest that unrealistically cold oceans would be insufficient to stop Thwaites glacier retreating, although a neighbouring glacier might begin to grow

Towering glacial ice cliffs may collapse in fits and starts
We still don’t know for sure how the ice cliffs looming over the sea at the leading edge of some glaciers will behave as…

The ocean has a memory: El Niño-like patterns could last for hundreds of years, climatologists warn
A new study warns that changes in ocean temperatures, winds and rainfall across the tropical Pacific could persist for centuries, even if carbon dioxide…

The homemade insecticide that is easy to prepare and helps control aphids, mealybugs, and whiteflies
Sticky leaves, damaged shoots, or tiny hidden insects may indicate a pest infestation. But before your plant is at risk, there is a simple…

We can rescue the AMOC after its collapse – but it won’t be easy
An AMOC weakened by climate change can be revived by cooling global temperatures, but we don’t have the technology to remove huge quantities of…

When will the AMOC collapse? We don’t know, but should still prepare
Uncertainty about when or even if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a vital ocean current, might collapse has been an excuse to ignore the…
