Research identifies farming practices that improve irrigation efficiency
Mississippi State scientists are building on two decades of irrigation research to identify production practices that help growers save water while improving crop yields.
Brazil deforestation hits new low in Amazon
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell to its lowest level in a decade in the first half of the year, according to official figures released Friday.
Landslides kill 15 in Philippines as biggest typhoon in decades nears Taiwan
Fifteen people were killed in landslides in the Philippines, and thousands in Taiwan were evacuated from their homes as the biggest typhoon in decades neared the region Friday.
Dust in the wind: intense storms struck China, US in 2025, says UN
China and the southern United States were hit last year by some of their worst sand and dust storms in decades, the United Nations said Friday.
Rare fossil goose rewrites the story of New Zealand's giant birds
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown fossil goose that challenges a decades-old theory about the evolution of New Zealand's birds. The find suggests the country's giant flightless geese evolved from much more recent arrivals, revealing a far more dynamic evolutionary h
Physicists finally build a quantum material predicted more than a decade ago
Researchers have achieved a major milestone by creating a long-sought two-dimensional quantum material and confirming its unusual conducting edge states. The ability to control these states through strain could make the material a promising platform for future room-temperature qu
Climate change leaves northern tree swallows more vulnerable those in the southern US
Tree swallows in the northern U.S. and Canada face the greatest risk from climate change despite responding to temperature the same way as tree swallows in the southern U.S., according to a new study led by Cornell researchers that analyzed nearly 95,000 nests across five decades
Chemists make elusive carbon-bridged sandwich molecule once thought too strained to exist
Progress in chemistry is often gradual, with some of its most important advances taking years—sometimes decades—to unfold. A case in point is the discovery of a novel "ferrocenophane" from the class of compounds known as "sandwich molecules"—so named because of their particular s
Hubble discovers first of star cluster's missing black holes
The massive globular star cluster Omega Centauri has puzzled astronomers for decades. It should be filled with black holes left behind by exploding stars, yet evidence for them is scarce. Now, astronomers using archival data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and supporting obser
What one of Emperor Hadrian's latrines is telling us about the durability of Roman concret
One of the many marvels of the Roman world is that some of its buildings are still with us. But why have they lasted for so long when some relatively modern structures are in a state of decay after a few decades?
The family tree of viruses just grew, and it paves the way for a new approach to agricultu
Researchers have discovered that a group of viruses known to infect an agriculturally important plant pathogen has remained genetically stable for an astonishing four decades. The discovery of a disease-fighting virus that doesn't mutate at a rapid rate points the way toward new
