China’s Air Quality Improvements May Be Driving a Surge in Global Warming

Earth Science, Environmental Science /

Since around 2010, the pace of global warming has accelerated, contributing to a succession of record-breaking warm years. The exact cause of this rapid increase remains one of the major unsolved questions in climate science. East Asia’s Pollution Reductions as a Key Driver A recent study suggests that significant reductions in air pollution — especially […]

Monitoring Molecular Activity In The Interstellar Medium

Space & Environment, Stellar Astronomy /

Stars don’t just appear spontaneously they form from gas and dust, but tracking this material is a major challenge. These cold particles drift through the galaxy at temperatures near absolute zero, emitting little to no light, which complicates detection. Ironically, the very thing that makes them hard to observe also helps astronomers study them: they
