Clean power surge needed: China's 2035 climate plan must aim high

China will need to generate more than half of its power from wind and solar by 2035 to align with global climate goals, according to new research led by the University of California San Diego. The study offers timely recommendations ...

Link between ADHD and obesity might depend on where you live

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might contribute to obesity by reducing physical activity—a relationship that can also be mediated by the features of the urban environment in which a person lives.

Thetis cells identified as key player in childhood food allergies

A decade ago, a clinical trial in the U.K. famously showed that children who were exposed to peanuts in the early months of life had reduced risk of developing a peanut allergy compared with children who avoided peanuts.

NASA satellite images could provide early volcano warnings

Scientists know that changing tree leaves can indicate when a nearby volcano is becoming more active and might erupt. In a new collaboration between NASA and the Smithsonian Institution, scientists now believe they can detect ...

Image: Deimos before dawn

NASA's Perseverance rover captured this view of Deimos, the smaller of Mars's two moons, shining in the sky at 4:27 a.m. local time on March 1, 2025, the 1,433rd Martian day (sol) of the mission. In the dark before dawn, ...

The cost of keeping wind turbines out of sight

A new study coordinated by scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich and published in Nature Communications highlights how the visibility of renewable energy installations—such as wind turbines and solar panels—has an impact ...

AI predicts bacterial resistance to cleaning agents

A group of researchers, including scientists from the DTU National Food Institute, have developed a method that, with the help of artificial intelligence and DNA decoding, can predict how well disease-causing bacteria such ...
