Looking up at a platform holding a lit candle and ice on a pedestal, a typical thermal imaging camera shows that the ice is appreciably warmer than the clear blue background sky. Assuming a 0.95 emissivity, ice at 0°C would be radiating about 299.88 watts per square meter. This means that a typical thermal imaging camera is capable of detecting 300 W/m² of thermal radiation.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt has proposed to end the longstanding EPA practice of using secretive, often questionable, even deceptive science to support agency policy and regulatory initiatives.
His proposed rules will ensure that any science underlying agency actions is transparent and publicly available for independent experts to examine and validate – or point out its flaws.

When we learn about human genetics in high school biology class, one of the most basic things we learn about is the DNA double helix, the twisting ladder-shaped structure that holds our genetic code.
But scientists have long suspected there’s another type of DNA that looks quite different from the famous Watson-Crick model. They theorized that it’s knot-shaped, though they’d never observed it in a living cell … until now.

There has always been some suspicion that pharmaceutical companies would rather keep people sick and on drugs than cure them in one shot and lose the ability to create return customers.

Scientists at the B612 Foundation, based in the US, are “100 percent certain” that the rogue space rocks will smash into Earth. Only 18,000 asteroids are tracked globally, with the majority not even monitored, according to Australian site News.com.au.

During the Roman Warm Period ~2,000 years ago, sea levels were significantly higher than they are now. Modern coastlines are 2 miles down from where they were during the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD, strongly implying that surface air temperatures were much warmer ~2,000 years ago compared to today.

Scientists say that the Yellowstone supervolcano gets stronger every year, and they now think they know why. An 1,800-mile deep “hotspot” has been discovered under the caldera which scientists believe is the volcano’s heat source.

Drs. Mozaffarian and Forouhi raise a crucial question in their article, “Dietary guidelines and health—is nutrition science up to the task?”[1] That task, of course, is whether our nutrition recommendations have effectively prevented the major chronic diseases of our time.

NASA scientists flying over the Arctic earlier this month spotted strange shapes out the window, but they aren’t sure what caused them.
A strange formation appears in Arctic ice at 69.71° North and 138.22° West, about 50 miles northwest of Canada’s Mackenzie River Delta.

Academics at University College London (UCL) have said there is little basis to justify terms like ‘climate refugee’ after finding that the majority of conflict in Africa and forced migration has been as a result of rapid population growth.

Environmentalists have long waged war on our feathered friends, but now they have their sights on a new target: endangered apes.
It’s been just months since the Tapanuli orangutan was discovered, as scientists marveled at the new species of the great ape, only the third of its kind.
