Scientists Discover a Hidden Chemical Pathway That Makes City Air Hazy

Nitric oxide may play a larger role in city air pollution than scientists previously thought. City air can look clear one moment and turn hazy the next, but the chemistry behind th...

Soot from rocket launches is polluting Earth’s upper atmosphere

Problem set to worsen as launch numbers increase, say UCL researchers The post Soot from rocket launches is polluting Earth’s upper atmosphere appeared first on Physics World.

Saharan dust and Mexico smoke are in the air. Researchers are working on better ways to measure what’s overhead

The instrument is part of a nationwide network that measures gases in the atmosphere and helps support satellite observations.

Want an oxygen-rich atmosphere? Stuff oxygen’s friends in the mantle.

Getting carbon and sulfur into Earth’s interior may be part of oxygen’s story.

'Mini-Neptune' exoplanets may have smoggy atmospheres similar to diesel exhaust

The astronauts circling Earth on the Artemis mission sent back beautiful clear photos of the continents, clouds, and oceans. But we might be the exception. Many planets in the univ...

A Climate for Physicists

Author(s): Sophia ChenAs concerns about climate change grow, researchers from fields ranging from gravitational-wave astronomy to condensed-matter physics are finding unexpected op...

Earth’s Upper Atmosphere Is Cooling Fast and Scientists Finally Know Why

Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere are getting hotter, but far above the planet, another dramatic change has been unfolding in the opposite direction. The upper atmosphere has be...

TU Graz Physicist Unveils Mobile Device for High-Precision Air Pollutant Measurement

A groundbreaking innovation in environmental monitoring has emerged from the Institute of Experimental Physics at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), where Birgitta Schultze-B...

A natural chemistry laboratory in protostar shock waves

Life exists because elements combine to form complex organic molecules. Astrochemistry studies this process, trying to understand how nature creates carbon-based molecules critical...

Carbon Dioxide and Water Played Key Roles in Historic Mount Etna Eruptions

Understanding these dynamics can help geologists assess the risk of future eruptions.

Nautilus array to track missing exoplanet atmospheres

Exoplanet atmospheres have become prime targets for astrobiologists in the search for life beyond Earth. This is because exoplanet surfaces can't be directly imaged yet, so astrono...

A Natural Chemistry Laboratory in Protostar Shock Waves

Complex organic molecules (COMS) are at the heart of life. They're created where jets from protostars slam into the interstellar medium, environments that scientists call natural l...

Volcanic Eruptions, Wildfires Moisturize Stratosphere

Stratospheric water vapor (SWV) plays a critical role in Earth’s climate system and stratospheric chemistry, yet the precise mechanisms governing its variability have remained elus...

June Research Roundup: Select Papers

In this month's edition of our research roundup, we highlight a new study on African air pollution; deep Earth carbon recycling; and a Pacific cooling mystery.

Interstellar Visitor 3I/ATLAS Is Bursting With an Unexpected Chemical

Astronomers have found that interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS contains an unusually large amount of methanol. Every interstellar object that passes through our solar system offers a rare...

An invisible forever chemical rain is falling across the planet

A surprising study suggests that chemicals introduced to protect the ozone layer may have unintentionally created a growing global pollution problem. Researchers found that refrige...

GeoRoundup: the highlights of EGU Journals published during June!

Each month we feature specific Divisions of EGU and during the monthly GeoRoundup we put the journals that publish science from those Divisions at the top of the Highlights section...

Are Satellite Megaconstellations Accidentally Geoengineering the Earth?

We’ve been reporting a lot lately on the negative impacts of satellite constellations. And unfortunately it’s time for another article about a paper pointing out the potential haza...

Thiolated Biochar Enhances Soil’s Ability to Retain Toxic Mercury Amid Climate-Induced Wet-Dry Cycles

In recent years, the increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves have imposed unprecedented stresses on soil environments, particularly in regions afflicted by mercury contamin...

Mimicking the chemistry of outer space to explain how planets form

Most exoplanets might be 'soot factories,' scientists say: 'Like you have a natural diesel engine'

A chemical engineer noticed that the spectra of the hazy atmosphere of mini-Neptune planets looked like the soot produced by combustion engines.

New Study: Significant CO2 Fluxes From Non-Volcanic Sources Are Largely Neglected In Carbon Budgets

In a new study, Professor of Earth Sciences Dr. István Kovács emphasizes that climate models fail to account for CO2 emissions linked to tectonic processes or widespread mantle deg...
