Australia’s carbon credit scheme suffered a major blow with the release of new research that revealed a significant failure in a world-leading reforestation project. The project aimed to regenerate native forests across vast areas of the Australian desert Outback in order to offset emissions by absorbing carbon dioxide. However, the research found that nearly 80

The Earth is currently undergoing significant changes due to global warming, with melting polar ice causing a redistribution of mass that is affecting the planet’s rotation. This unexpected consequence of climate change was highlighted in a recent study conducted by geophysicist Duncan Agnew of the University of California San Diego. The implications of this shift

Our immune system plays a crucial role in protecting our bodies from invading pathogens. It is able to distinguish between our own cells and foreign entities, triggering an immune response when necessary. However, when the immune system malfunctions, it can result in conditions where our body becomes a battleground for internal conflicts. A recent study

When it comes to materials that are known for their hardness, diamonds have always been at the top of the list. However, recent simulations have hinted at the existence of a carbon molecule that could surpass diamonds in terms of hardness. This molecule, known as the eight-atom body-centered cubic (BC8) phase, is believed to be
