Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear。 After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0。35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0
Songbirds appear to have evolved through rare explosions of change separated by long periods of slower development。 Many of those bursts lined up with major climate shifts, suggesting that environmental upheaval can reshape life in powerful ways
Deep beneath Japan’s mostly submerged Kikai caldera, scientists have discovered a vast magma reservoir that appears to be filling again。 The volcano produced the largest eruption of the Holocene 7,300 years ago, and seismic surveys now show that fresh magma has likely entered the same underground system responsible for that catastrophe
A new cooking method could make French fries crispier in less time while significantly limiting how much oil they absorb。 Researchers propose combining microwave heating, which keeps oil out, with conventional frying, which provides the crunch consumers expect
Primordial black holes may occasionally pass through white dwarf stars and trigger enormous Type Ia supernova explosions。 Researchers found that these events could explain chemical patterns seen in supernova remnants, nearby explosions, and stars across the Milky Way
A new AI-powered blood test could give people a remarkably early warning of serious heart and circulation problems。 Developed by researchers at the University of Hong Kong, CardiOmicScore analyzes thousands of proteins and metabolites to estimate the risk of six major cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and atria
