COVID-19, and more rarely the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine, can lead to inflammation of heart tissue in some individuals. A new study points to two substances released by immune cells as possible drivers of this effect and outlines a potential approach to reduce the vaccine-related risk. Researchers ...

The fast-acting, long-lasting material provides a new option beyond traditional concrete. Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) have developed a new carbon-negative building material that could reshape approaches to sustainable construction. Described in the high-impact journal Matter...

Bamboo tissue’s green image fades once you factor in coal-powered manufacturing. Bamboo tissue paper produced in China has become a popular option for shoppers looking to reduce their environmental impact. Despite its green reputation, new research suggests these products may not deliver the climate...

Iron Age cargoes from Dor reveal how ancient Mediterranean trade evolved alongside shifting empires and political power. New findings from researchers at the University of California San Diego and the University of Haifa are changing how scholars understand ancient seaborne trade in the eastern Medi...

This new technology turns everyday carbon emissions into a useful chemical—right at the source, even from thin air. Exhaust gases released from home furnaces, fireplaces, and industrial facilities send carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, adding to climate pollution. Scientists reporting today ...

An analysis led by the University of Leicester shows that the African continent lost around 106 billion kilograms of forest biomass each year between 2010 and 2017. New research suggests that Africa’s forests, long seen as a powerful buffer against climate change, are now adding carbon to the atmosp...

Low-carb and low-fat diets can both protect your heart — but only if they’re built on healthy, high-quality foods. A new study published today (February 11) in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, suggests that when it comes to lowering heart disease risk, the quality of...

Women’s heart health is heading toward a crisis, with nearly 60% projected to have cardiovascular disease by 2050. Heart disease in women is projected to climb dramatically over the next 25 years. By 2050, nearly 60% of women in the United States could have high blood pressure, a major driver of car...

Northern wildfires may be unleashing hidden reservoirs of ancient carbon — and climate models are missing much of it. Wildfires sweeping across the vast boreal forests of Alaska, Canada, Scandinavia, and Russia could be causing more climate damage than scientists once believed. New research led by U...

A vast African peatland once thought stable is now leaking carbon thousands of years old. Tropical swamps and peatlands are major components of Earth’s carbon system and play a significant role in regulating the climate. Regions such as the Amazon Basin, the Congo Basin, and the wetlands of Southeas...
