From his geology lab at the University of Houston, Jonny Wu has discovered that a chain of volcanoes stretching between Northeast Asia and Russia began a period of silence 50 million years ago, which lasted for 10 million years.

A University of Queensland-led international team of researchers say they have discovered “a new kind of quantum time order”.

Carbon monoxide plays a role in both air pollution and climate change.

Deep in the waterlogged peat of salt marshes, carbon is stored at much greater rates than in land ecosystems, serving as an offset to climate change due to carbon dioxide (CO2) build-up in the atmosphere.

This summer, NOAA researchers are studying an unusual feature of Lake Huron: giant sinkholes.

The ocean is vast, and fish swim.

When the body is fending off an infection, there are changes in temperature, pH balance, and metabolism.

The CRISPR genome-editing system is best-known for its potential to correct disease-causing mutations and add new genes into living cells.

While analyzing interactions between parasites and hosts, a substantial amount of research has been devoted to studying the methods parasitic organisms use to control host behavior.

Many wild southern sea otters in California are infected with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, yet the infection is fatal for only a fraction of sea otters, which has long puzzled the scientific community.
