Developing conceptual models for microbial-environmental–ecosystem interactions is key to enhancing the ability of models to predict future ecosystem function.
The rapid growth of urban nanoparticles via the condensation of organic vapors substantially alters shallow cloud formation and suppresses precipitation.
Ensembles of 20–25 members, notably smaller than traditional large ensembles, can accurately represent changes in extremes of temperature and precipitation.
A team of researchers developed a simulation approach to identify how atomic structures can affect the phonon transport of energy and information in quantum systems near absolute zero temperatures.
Despite an increase in future electricity demands, virtual water trading in the U.S. electricity sector is expected to decline as renewable energy expands.
Additional fire-favorable weather associated with declines in Arctic sea ice during summer can increase autumn wildfires over the western United States.
A multi-institutional team has obtained information about nanoscale interactions between the spike protein of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and common household inorganic surfaces.
