Outdoor worker safety plans built around heat also need controls for solar UV, which WHO and ILO link to nearly 19,000 skin cancer deaths from work in 2019.
A Brown University study finds veterans 20 to 39 carry higher PFAS levels than civilians the same age, exposing a gap in the VA's testing policy.
Fish may be more sensitive to antidepressants than human models suggest. The finding may reshape how water utilities and regulators assess pharmaceutical risks.
NMR measurements reveal how heat and current interact inside a resistive switch. The findings could guide more predictable designs for emerging electronics.
Satellite radar, laser scanning and GPR helped researchers identify ground movement along Seoul's Bundang Line. The approach could help operators target checks.
UT and MD Anderson researchers report early biological changes from microplastic exposure before visible tissue damage, as cancer research continues.
A greener MOF process could lower energy use and production expenses. Birmingham researchers say it still removes more than 90% of lead from contaminated water.
New research is shifting space-based solar power from theoretical generation toward harder questions about power beaming, regulation and grid integration.
Finland’s forestry drainage has dried up much of the landscape. A 60-year study finds beavers can restore wetter habitats and support targeted recovery efforts.
Tiny robots could help pull lithium from seawater. Texas A&M researchers are testing whether the idea can deliver usable supply at a realistic cost and scale up.
A year after federal research funding was suspended, UCLA researchers say staffing losses, delayed grants, and hiring freezes continue to affect science.
AI could help orchard robots stay on course. A new system combines drone imagery and LiDAR to cut mapping drift and improve autonomous field operations on site.
A Hefei, China study finds urban trees and shrubs each add different pollutants, nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon, to rainfall passing through canopies.
A peer-reviewed study finds nanoplastics in McMurdo Dry Valleys soil at over half of sites sampled, the first such evidence in Antarctica's soils.
Rodale is betting $139 million on moving 10 million U.S. acres into organic production. Farmer economics and clear tracking will decide if it works in practice.
A new model shows how tiny spacer layers change 2D perovskites. It could help engineers design better LEDs, solar cells and other light-based devices.
Desert mosses may carry fungi that help them handle heat. The discovery could shift how scientists approach dryland restoration and climate stress.
Chain length may shape how PFAS move through water and respond to treatment. For utilities, that means monitoring and removal strategies need sharper focus.
New 2025 research and a shelved EPA study add fresh evidence on fireworks pollution, as U.S. cities split over drone alternatives for July 4, 2026.
A peer-reviewed study in The Cryosphere is the first to directly attribute a major Antarctic glacier's retreat to human-driven warming, with effects projected to continue for centuries.
