When I was in graduate school, transactional memory was an ivory tower pipe dream, but now it's something that actually exists in hardware you can buy. It seems worthwhile to start learning about how to use it.

aster coal phase-outs, especially by China and India, are crucial to limit warming to 2 degrees, but current trends point to a 2.5–3 degree rise. The goal of limiting global warming to a maximum of 2 degrees as set by the Paris Agreement seems unlikely to be achieved, with current trends indicating ...

Human-driven global warming is advancing rapidly, highlighting an urgent need for action. As COP28 approaches, scientists stress the importance of up-to-date climate data for policymakers. To address information gaps between IPCC reports, researchers have developed the “Indicators of Global Cl...

A unique 24-year study on freshwater fish subjected to warm water pollution reveals alterations in growth and mortality rates, along with size modifications, however, the results don’t completely conform to initial predictions. A new study recently published in the journal eLife challenges the...

A new study highlights the need to prioritize biodiversity and human health in climate change policies to make the Paris Agreement goals economically feasible. The economic feasibility of the climate change targets specified in the Paris Agreement depends on the prioritization of non-market elements...

The metaverse may reduce emissions and energy use, offering a minor but meaningful climate benefit. For many technology enthusiasts, the metaverse holds the promise of revolutionizing nearly every aspect of daily living, from professional pursuits to learning experiences to leisure activities. Now, ...

Decades of gradual warming due to human-caused climate change and an El Niño in the Pacific Ocean nudged global ocean temperatures to record levels in 2023. In March and April 2023, some earth scientists began to point out that average sea surface temperatures had surpassed the highest levels seen i...

The first three weeks of July 2023 have been the hottest global three-week period so far. In the summer months of 2023, twice as many people in Germany were exposed to daily temperatures of 35 °C (95 °F) and higher than the average from 1980 to 1999. This is obvious from a study published recently [...

June, July, and August were 0.23°C (0.41°F) warmer than any other summer in NASA’s record. The summer of 2023 was Earth’s hottest since global records began in 1880, according to scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) in New York. The months of June, July, and August combined...

Warming led to an intensified methane cycle, lasting thousands of years, study finds. New study makes novel use of plant biomarkers preserved in sediment to reconstruct methane cycling over the past 10,000 years Plant waxes hold an isotopic signature of ancient methane As the planet warmed due to sl...

Around the Globe, Climate Adaptation Lacks Coordination A meta-study shows that individuals and households are leading climate change adaptation efforts with minimal systematic collaboration. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive, stakeholder-inclusive strategies aligned with the UN’s Sust...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Mainz University scientists study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. The Earth is getting hotter, and the effects have been increasingly evident this summer across the globe. Looking back ...

Researchers have developed an eco-friendly insulating gas to replace sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). The Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) has developed a pioneering ‘eco-friendly insulating gas’ to replace sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), a significant contributor to global warming...

New research concludes that the faster warming of the Arctic will expedite the global 2 °C temperature increase by eight years, emphasizing the urgent need for better monitoring and understanding of Arctic climate dynamics. Faster warming in the Arctic will be responsible for a global 2 °C temperatu...

A large international study combines satellite and ground data estimates that forests could store up to 226 gigatons of carbon if sustainably managed. Natural carbon reservoirs will play a major role at the COP28 world climate conference in the United Arab Emirates. After oceans and soils, forests a...

Innovative research in CRP peptide-binding offers a new, effective method for monitoring and diagnosing inflammation, enhancing personalized medicine and drug development. Current medical diagnostics is a far cry from the disease’s recognition in the last century. Based on the blood tests, it ...

To mitigate global warming, significant cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are essential. This includes phasing out fossil fuels and embracing energy-efficient technologies. However, simply cutting emissions is insufficient to achieve climate goals. It’s also critical to remove substantial amoun...
