Scientists have identified a major turning point in Earth's geological history, when the processes shaping the planet's crust changed dramatically and began to resemble the plate tectonics we see today-about 2.5 billion years ago.

World leaders meeting at the annual U.N. climate summit in November 2026 are wrestling with a persistent challenge: how to get countries to follow through on their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the planet.

From Congress to the Texas Statehouse, Democrats will have more influence over border policy. But the Trump administration still has billions to spend on the wall.

Researchers have analyzed water samples collected during two expeditions aboard the research icebreaker Polarstern to investigate how life and changing conditions on the Antarctic continental shelf affect carbon carried into the deep ocean. Published in Nature Communications, the study reveals a surprising finding: Despite intense biological activity and major changes in the water masses, the amount and make-up of dissolved organic matter remain almost unchanged.

In the 1970s and '80s, frogs in Brazil's Atlantic Forest began dying off. Researchers have proposed various causes, from severe cold snaps to acid rain. Now, scientists believe they have solved this decade-old amphibian "cold case." The culprit, it seems, may be the highly contagious pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). It causes a deadly infectious skin disease, chytrid, in amphibians. The investigation was recently published in the journal Molecular Ecology. Researchers from the U.S. and Brazil studied specimens collected from Boracéia research station in the Atlantic . . .

Among the technical inquiries spanning topics like cyclodextrin polymers and mass spectrometry that were stacked in Damian Helbling's inbox was a question about four golden retrievers.

Antarctic blue whales appear to be creeping back from the brink of extinction after 50 years of protection. A new study estimates the total population at 4,018, up from 418 after the last reported whale catch in 1973.

Lucid (LCID) CEO Silvio Napoli admitted on the company's Q3 earnings call that, as recently as this summer, the automaker "did not even know where cars were." Buyers placed orders, Lucid took up to two weeks to locate and deliver a car, and some of those buyers walked away. That's a rough admission from a company sitting on thousands of unsold vehicles. And it's a problem Tesla ran into, and fixed, back in 2018 at more than ten times Lucid's current volume. more . . .
