Key PointsBacteria actively sense their environment and use chemical cues to navigate their world through a process called chemotaxis.Chemotaxis aids ...

Scientists have long sought to explain a key mismatch in Earth's early history: oxygen-producing photosynthesis evolved ...

Researchers have proposed that the rapid loss of dissolved oxygen in oceans, lakes, and rivers qualifies as a 10th planetary ...

Researchers discovered that Nitrosopumilus maritimus becomes more efficient at using iron as temperatures rise. This ...

As deep-sea waters warm, scientists expected trouble for the microbes that help keep ocean chemistry in balance. Instead, researchers found that Nitrosopumilus maritimus can adapt to warmer, ...

Scientists exploring ways to use the ocean as a carbon sink are running into a problem that could limit the technology’s long-term effectiveness: the nutrients that marine life needs to pull carbon ...

Soil erosion is widely known for degrading land and reducing agricultural productivity. But new research shows it may also play a far more complex and ...

It is well documented that the Gulf Stream plays a pivotal role in the climate system through its transfer of heat, which ultimately supplies warmth to northern latitudes in the North Atlantic. What ...

Abstract: We describe emerging capabilities to understand physical processes and biogeochemical cycles in coastal waters through the use of satellites, numerical models, and ship observations.

Geothermal activity near Hveragerði, Iceland, has created a natural laboratory where researchers can study how ecosystems, including microbes and plans, respond to long-term warming. Credit: Sara ...

To compare these figures fairly, we must clarify what each one measures and how they interconnect. The Critical Insight: These are often two ways of describing the same battery performance. A ...
