Comparing 214 field-warming observations with seven crop models, Peking University researchers estimate that 1°C of global warming could cut rice yields by about 8 percent, roughly double earlier projections.

Rice feeds more than half of the world’s population. In much of Asia, it is the foundation of the daily diet, and even modest changes in harvests can ...

Tokyo University of Science researchers combined micromagnetic simulations with a genetic algorithm to find magnonic crystal patterns with wider band gaps than conventional designs.

Almost all of today’s computing depends on moving electric charge. Every time electrons flow through a chip’s wires and transistors, some of their energy is lost as heat. As dat...

A Zhejiang University study of 2,318 people found that each extra heatwave was associated with about half a year of added biological aging, with signs pointing to disrupted metabolism.

Heatwaves are usually thought of as acute dangers. During a severe one, hospitals fill with people suffering heatstroke, dehydration and heart trouble, and death rates climb....

A Nature Reviews Biodiversity paper led by researchers at Binghamton, UConn and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology shows that birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians rely on insects for far more than a meal.

Ask most people why insects matter, and they will probably mention bees and pollination, or perhaps the beetles and flies that break down dead pla...

Immune Changes May Predict Bowel Disease Years Early

Scientists have identified immune-system changes that may precede inflammatory bowel disease by a decade. Researchers examined 2,000 stored blood samples from 500 people, including 200 who later developed Crohn’s disease, 200 who developed ulcerative colitis and 100 healthy controls. They measured antibody responses to r...
