With Changing Climate, Global Lake Evaporation Loss Larger Than Previously Thought

Texas A&M researchers have created a new dataset that quantifies trends of evaporative water loss from 1.4 million global lakes and artificial reservoirs.

Shift Work Increases The Severity Of Strokes Later In Life

New research finds living against our internal body clocks can damage long-term health by altering gut and brain interactions.

Shaking The Dinosaur Family Tree: How Did ‘Bird-Hipped’ Dinosaurs Evolve?

Researchers have conducted a new analysis of the origins of ‘bird-hipped’ dinosaurs – the group which includes iconic species such as Triceratops – and found that they likely evolved from a group of animals known as silesaurs, which were first identified two decades ago.

Lava From 2021 Icelandic Eruption Gives Rare View Of Deep Churnings Beneath Volcano

After centuries without volcanic activity, Iceland’s Reykjanes peninsula sprang to life in 2021 when lava erupted from the Fagradalsfjall volcano. New research involving the University of Cambridge helps us see what is going on deep beneath the volcano by reading the chemistry of lavas and volcanic gases almost as they were erupted.

DNA Profiling Solves Australian Rabbit Plague Puzzle

A new study proves that a single introduction of 24 rabbits shipped from England in 1859 caused the infamous invasion and argues that wild genetic traits gave these animals a devastating advantage over earlier arrivals.

Risk Of Volcano Catastrophe ‘A Roll Of The Dice’, Say Experts

While funding is pumped into preventing low-probability scenarios such as asteroid collision, the far more likely threat of a large volcanic eruption is close to ignored – despite much that could be done to reduce the risks, say researchers.

Pheasant Meat Sold For Food Found To Contain Many Tiny Shards Of Toxic Lead

Eating pheasant killed using lead shot is likely to expose consumers to raised levels of lead in their diet, even if the meat is carefully prepared to remove the shotgun pellets and the most damaged tissue.

‘Synthetic’ Embryo With Brain And Beating Heart Grown From Stem Cells By Cambridge Scientists

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have created model embryos from mouse stem cells that form a brain, a beating heart, and the foundations of all the other organs of the body – a new avenue for recreating the first stages of life.

New Phases Of Water Detected

Water can be liquid, gas or ice, right? Think again.

Seawater Could Have Provided Phosphorous Required For Emerging Life

The problem of how phosphorus became a universal ingredient for life on Earth may have been solved by researchers from the University of Cambridge and the University of Cape Town, who have recreated primordial seawater containing the element in the lab.
