Research published this week in Science Advances shows that it may be possible to create rocket fuel that is much cleaner and safer than the hypergolic fuels that are commonly used today. And still just as effective. The new fuels use simple chemical 鈥渢riggers鈥� to unlock the energy of one of the hottest new materials, a class of porous solids known as metal-organic frameworks, or MOFs. MOFs are made up of clusters of metal ions and an organic molecule called a linker.

Some diseases which are fatal in one species can cause only mild discomfort in another鈥攂ut it鈥檚 hard for scientists to predict how lethal a disease will be if it leaps across species.
However, a new paper published this week in PNAS indicates that the evolutionary relationship between infected hosts can predict the impact of diseases.

Rising global maritime traffic could lead to sharp increases in invasive species around the world over the next 30 years, according to a new study by 成人VR视频 researchers.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Sustainability, suggest that shipping growth will far outweigh climate change in the spread of non-indigenous pests to new environments in coming decades.

New research from 成人VR视频 reveals an overlooked impact that the widely used herbicide glyphosate may be having on the environment.
First commercialized by Monsanto under the name Roundup, glyphosate has come under scrutiny in the past, mostly in relation to its potential toxicity. This new research, published recently in the Ecological Society of America鈥檚 Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, focuses not on direct health risks associated with the herbicide, but on its contribution to environmental phosphorus levels, an issue that has yet to receive much attention.

Methanol鈥攁 colourless liquid that can be made from agricultural waste鈥攈as long been touted as a green alternative to fossil fuels. But it鈥檚 toxic and only has half the energy as the same volume of gasoline. Now, Chao-Jun Li and colleagues report they鈥檝e created a potentially cheap way to use sunlight to convert methanol to ethanol, a more popular alternative fuel that鈥檚 less harmful and carries more energy.

The weather these days is wild and will be wilder still within a century. In part, because the water from melting ice sheets off Greenland and in the Antarctic will cause extreme weather and unpredictable temperatures around the globe. A study published today in Nature is the first to simulate the effects, under current climate policies, that the two melting ice sheets will have on ocean temperatures and circulation patterns as well as on air temperatures by the year 2100.
Consequences for ocean circulation and water and air temperatures
