» Scientists stunned as volcano cloud destroys methane in the atmosphere
10/05/26 05:01 from Earth & Climate News -- ScienceDaily
A colossal underwater volcano in the South Pacific may have revealed a surprising new weapon against climate change. After the 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai, scientists detected enormous amounts of formaldehyde in the atmosp...

» Scientists say a critical Atlantic ocean current is weakening and the world could feel the impact
10/05/26 04:49 from Earth & Climate News -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The slowdown has been detected across a vast region of the North Atlantic over nearly two decades. Since this ocean...

» Antarctica is melting from below and scientists say it’s worse than expected
10/05/26 04:28 from Earth & Climate News -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected. Deep beneath floating ice shelves, long channels carved into the ice appear to trap warmer ocean water, dramaticall...

» Researchers develop a biodegradable wash that can remove pesticides and keep fruit fresh longer
10/05/26 00:30 from Biology News - Evolution, Cell theory, Gene theory, Microbiology, Biotechnology
Many grocery shoppers know the routine: bring fruit and vegetables home, rinse them, dry them and hope they stay fresh long enough to be eaten. But fresh produce is delicate. Grapes shrivel, apple slices brown and berries can spoil quickly.
