New electrical generator harvest energy from droplets
Newly proposed charge trapping‐based electricity generator (CTEG) harvests passive energy from water droplets and other sources of mechanical energy with high efficiency.
Global warming has upended 6,500 years of cooling
During the two millennia before the 20th Century, global mean surface temperature (GMST) cooled at a rate of roughly −0.15 °C per 1000 years.

Antarctic peninsula sets a new record temperature
The record appears to be likely associated (in the short term) with what we call a regional "foehn" event over the area.
World’s oceans in 2019 were the warmest in recorded human history
2019 broke the previous records set in prior years for global warming, and the effects are already appearing in the form of more extreme weather, rising sea levels and harm to ocean animals.
Fingerprint of climate change detected in daily weather
Climate researchers can now detect the fingerprint of global warming in daily weather observations at the global level.
Atlantic ocean is experiencing various changes
Effect could be maintaining the strength of a key European climate driver.
Understanding the response of sea level to prolonged climate warming
Mallorcan cave yields 4-million-year-old geologic evidence providing new insights into magnitude global sea level rise.
Excitation of carbon cycle could lead mass extinction
Absorption of carbon dioxide on Earth's ocean beyond threshold level can cause extreme ocean acidification due to excitation of Earth’s Carbon Cycle and could be the cause of sixth mass destruction.
Planting 1 billion hectares of forest could help check global warming
The world is getting warmer. Whether the cause is a human activity or natural variability—and the preponderance of evidence says it’s humans—thermometer readings all...
CO2 emissions are on track to increase global temperatures by over 1.5˚C
CO2 emissions contribute to climate change, which can have serious consequences for humans and their environment. Scientists always debated on surrounding global warming and...
Green material for refrigeration identified
When put under pressure, plastic crystals of neopentylglycol yield huge cooling effects – enough that they are competitive with conventional coolants. In addition, the...
Future sea level rise could be much lower than previously feared
Two papers distributed in Nature this week call into uncertainty ongoing forecasts of unavoidable Antarctic ice sheet collapse. The first paper proposes that continued...
