Wildfires in wet African forests have doubled in recent decades‚ large-scale analysis finds

Wildfires in wet African forests have doubled in recent decades‚ large-scale analysis finds

A new study presents the first large-scale analysis of fire patterns in West and Central Africa's wet‚ tropical forests. The number of active fires there typically doubled over 18 years‚ particularly in the Congo Basin. The increases are primarily due to increasingly hot‚ dry conditions and humans' impact on the forests‚ including deforestation. The increase in forest fires is likely to continue given current climate projections‚ according to the study.

Coastal hurricanes around the world are intensifying faster‚ new study finds

Coastal hurricanes around the world are intensifying faster‚ new study finds

Hurricanes are among the world's most destructive natural hazards. Their ability to cause damage is shaped by their environment; conditions like warm ocean waters‚ guiding winds‚ and atmospheric moisture can all dictate storm strength.

Nano-drugs hitching a ride on bacteria could help treat pancreatic cancer

Nano-drugs hitching a ride on bacteria could help treat pancreatic cancer

Many pancreatic tumors are like malignant fortresses‚ surrounded by a dense matrix of collagen and other tissue that shields them from immune cells and immunotherapies that have been effective in treating other cancers. Employing bacteria to infiltrate that cancerous fortification and deliver these drugs could aid treatment for pancreatic cancer‚ according to newly published findings from a team of University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers.

For microscopic organisms‚ ocean currents act as 'expressway' to deeper depths‚ study finds

For microscopic organisms‚ ocean currents act as 'expressway' to deeper depths‚ study finds

Some of the ocean's tiniest organisms get swept into underwater currents that act as a conduit that shuttles them from the sunny surface to deeper‚ darker depths where they play a huge role in affecting the ocean's chemistry and ecosystem‚ according to new research.

Physicists arrange atoms in close proximity‚ paving way for exploring exotic states of matter

Physicists arrange atoms in close proximity‚ paving way for exploring exotic states of matter

Proximity is key for many quantum phenomena‚ as interactions between atoms are stronger when the particles are close. In many quantum simulators‚ scientists arrange atoms as close together as possible to explore exotic states of matter and build new quantum materials.

Centipedes used in traditional Chinese medicine offer leads for kidney treatment

Centipedes used in traditional Chinese medicine offer leads for kidney treatment

A venomous‚ 8-inch centipede may be the stuff of nightmares‚ but it could save the life of those affected by kidney disease. Researchers report in the Journal of Natural Products that the many-legged critter—used in traditional Chinese medicine—contains alkaloids that in cell cultures reduced inflammation and renal fibrosis‚ which both contribute to kidney disease.

Oil palm plantations are driving massive downstream impact to watershed

Oil palm plantations are driving massive downstream impact to watershed

The global demand for palm oil—the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet‚ in everything from instant noodles to lipstick—is driving worldwide tropical deforestation. While many studies have shown the loss of biodiversity when rainforests are converted to oil palm plantations‚ researchers at the University of Massachusetts of Amherst are the first to show far-reaching and wide-ranging disturbances to the watersheds in which such plantations occur.
