Researchers from Nara Institute of Science and Technology find that plants adapt to heat stress via an epigenetic memory mechanism, where JUMONJI proteins control small heat shock genes.

Researchers have made progress towards a G7 commitment to establish safe standards for the release of antimicrobials into the environment, by developing a new framework that establishes safe thresholds.

In a world-first, Monash University scientists have developed a new, environmentally friendly process that could drive the future production of green ammonia.

Purdue University engineers have developed a method to transform existing cloth items into battery-free wearables resistant to laundry. 

How much do the effects of climate change contribute to extreme weather events? 

Lack of water, floods, or crop losses: As a result of climate change, pronounced periods of drought and rainfall are occurring more frequently and more intensively all around the world, causing human suffering and major economic damage. 

Soot particles from oil and wood heating systems as well as road traffic can pollute the air in Europe on a much larger scale than previously assumed.
