A new research has revealed that extreme heat will be the reason behind the mass extinction of humans and mammals on earth in the future. With the sun emitting more energy and warming the Earth, tectonic processes will also occur in the Earth’s crust that would lead to more frequent volcanic eruptions, thus warming the planet even further.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an upcycling approach that adds value to discarded plastics for reuse in additive manufacturing, or 3D printing.

The mosquito species Culex modestus has been found in Finland for the first time. In Southern Europe it is known to spread West Nile virus, but it is highly unlikely for the disease to occur in Finland.

The European Commission aims to improve access to innovative drugs at the national level throughout the EU, however, the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWIG) criticises that the proposed reform of EU pharmaceutical legislation still allows considerable differences in access between countries.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered that a chromium-cobalt-nickel alloy displays increased strength at over -250°C, thus making it the toughest material on Earth. The alloy can be used as structural or load-bearing components for many potential applications in space and cold regions on earth and other planets.

A new study has found out that if a woman is obese before or even during her pregnancy, there is a high chance that she could develop heart problems in the future.

Due to global warming, temperatures in the Arctic are climbing rapidly. As a result, the treeline for Siberian larch forests is steadily advancing to the north, gradually supplanting the broad expanses of tundra which are home to a unique mix of flora and fauna.

Over the last decade, researchers have sounded the alarm on soil erosion being the biggest threat to global food security. As world governments moved to implement soil conservation practices, a new debate began: does agricultural soil erosion create a net organic carbon (OC) sink or source? In new research, two scientists address the soil organic carbon erosion paradox.

Thanks to the re-introduction initiative that was started in 2015 by three Bulgarian non-governmental organisations, the Cinereous Vulture is now back in the country.

It sounds like something from science fiction: Don a specialized, electronic headband and control a robot using your mind. But now, recent research published in ACS Applied Nano Materials has taken a step toward making this a reality.
