We can change the flavour and texture of foods like bread and rice wine by tweaking the genomes of the yeasts that are used to make them

Delivering mRNAs to the cells lining the nose and lungs will make vaccines more effective and may also lead to better treatments for conditions such as cystic fibrosis

Attributing extreme weather events to climate change, as I do through my work as a climatologist, means we can hold countries and companies to account for their inaction, says Friederike Otto

Clouds are made up of many tiny drops of liquid water suspended at temperatures below freezing, before they are penetrated by ice. Understanding this process better could help improve climate models

The genome of Ötzi, the 5300-year-old mummified man found in the Alps, was first published in 2012, but a more accurate readout has changed the story of where his ancestors came from

A technique for reprogramming adult cells that removes any trace of their origins could help produce stem cells at larger scales

Large language models can be powerful tools for chemistry if we acknowledge their limits

Accessible AI tool can assess multitude of protocols for making new porous materials

With temperature records tumbling, it is only natural to worry about cascading tipping points, but the reality is far more nuanced

Extreme weather and temperatures made July 2023 a shocking month, with human-driven global warming, the El Niño climate pattern and even perhaps even a 2022 volcanic eruption contributing to the broken records

Both China and the US, the world's top carbon emitters, are racing ahead with solar panels and wind turbines. It is even looking like we may soon see the beginning of the end for fossil fuels

Focusing too much on extreme weather could trigger a backlash against climate action in the mid-2020s, when global temperature rises are set to slow down as the El Niño climate pattern fades

New genome sequencing reveals details about Ötzi’s appearance and ancestry

A lampshade coated in either a copper or iron substance removes indoor air pollutants released by cooking or from cleaning products

’Economic mindset’ shapes plastic upcycling approach

The documentary Panthera Britannia Declassified claims to show clear evidence of a black leopard or panther in the UK, but most experts remain sceptical

Japan’s XRISM space telescope will seek secrets of high energy universe

Low tide helped city dodge catastrophic 1964 wave, but future ones could destroy critical port, highways
