Air pollution is a huge global issue. We breathe in tiny specks every day. These particles are called particulate matter, or PM. They come in different sizes, like PM10 and PM2. 5. When we inhale them, they travel all the way down into our lungs. This isn't just harmless dust. Scientists know these
The ground beneath our feet is way more complex than just dirt. It’s a massive, living system. Tiny organisms play huge roles in keeping this ecosystem healthy. One specific group of fungi, called Ericoid Mycorrhizal or ErM fungi, works closely with certain plants. This partnership helps them surviv
The United Kingdom is a place of incredible diversity. People from all corners of the world live there. This mix makes things exciting, but it also brings up big questions about how different societies connect. How do people build real understanding when they come from totally different backgrounds?
The National Academies of Science has long been seen as a steady voice in a stormy world. Born in the chaos of the Civil War, its job was to give clear, expert advice to the government. Over time, it built a reputation for tackling tough topics—even when powerful groups didn’t like the answers. But
China’s northwestern desert has been told to brace for big floods this summer. The warning comes after the Taklamakan Desert, the country’s largest sandy area, saw its first flood of the year in early June. Video shows water pouring over dunes that usually stay dry. Heat is a major culprit. In m
The science team that began in 1949, sailing east of Southern California each season, set up a long‑term record of the sea that now stands as the world’s oldest ocean monitoring program. Over seventy years, crews have repeatedly sampled fish, plankton, and water chemistry at 75 to 113 fixed points t
The U. S. science agency began pulling out a major ocean monitoring network before its planned 25‑year life ended. The decision was announced in 2025 and will remove most of the arrays by summer 2027. Scientists say this cut short a system that has been gathering continuous data from the ocean surfa
CBS is shaking up its lineup, sending four shows packing after years on air. The late-night chat king "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" leaves after a decade, while the medical drama "Watson" and comedy "DMV" – both newbies – are cut after just one or two seasons.
