Industrial ecologist Stephanie Cap warns that households cannot do this alone: Businesses and governments must create the conditions to make these changes possible. Cap defends her…

Why volcanic crystals are black boxes for tracking magma's journey to the Earth's surface

Magma deep within volcanoes is more than molten rock. It is a thick mixture of melted rock and solid mineral crystals known as "magma mush". To picture it…

1.7-billion-year-old fossils reveal a crucial clue to the rise of complex life

Scientists studying ancient Australian rocks uncovered more than 12,000 fossils from some of the oldest known eukaryotes on Earth. These early complex cells lived in settings ranging from coastal mudflats to the open sea, but only where oxygen was available. Oxygen-free environments contained simpler microbes instead…
