Investigadores cuantifican el impacto de los animales en la transformación de la Tierra

by Carolyn Wilke 21 April 202521 April 2025

Los animales salvajes utilizan 76,000 gigajulios de energía—el equivalente a cientos de miles de monzones o inundaciones—moldeando los ecosistemas terrestres y de agua dulce de nuestro planeta.

Climate Shifts Drive Episodic Drainage Changes

by Caroline Hasler 14 April 202514 April 2025

Drainage divide migration is influenced by tectonics and climate over long periods. New research in Israel shows that even shorter-term wet-dry cycles can move divides.

Lunar Ice Might Be Easier to Reach Than We Thought

Damond Benningfield, Science Writer by Damond Benningfield 11 April 202511 April 2025

An instrument aboard the Vikram lander suggests that buried water ice could be found at higher latitudes, making it more abundant and easier to extract than previously believed.

Tea Leaves Remove Lead from Water

by Skyler Ware 10 April 202510 April 2025

Surface and chemical properties of tea leaves may help explain the correlation between tea consumption and lower incidences of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke.

A two-panel horizontal image. On the left is Neptune observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is a blue circle, tilted about 25° to the left. There are white smudges at 7 o’clock and just above 5 o’clock. At right is an opposing view of the planet, using data from Hubble and JWST. It is a multihued blue orb. There are white smudges in the same spots as the image on the left but also at the center of the planet and at the top. There are cyan smudges vertically along the right side, and the top of these areas is more translucent than the bottom.
