The basic physics of greenhouse effect has been understood for well over a century. The sun pours out intense amounts of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, including ultraviolet and ...

Nuclear fusion reactors are highly powerful technologies that can generate energy by fusing (i.e., joining) two light atomic ...

but opaque to most of the long-wave heat radiation that tries to return to space. This “greenhouse effect” traps heat and makes the earth’s surface considerably warmer than it would be if ...

Volcanic ash from eruptions can reshape cirrus clouds, forming giant ice crystals and altering how Earth traps heat in the ...

The number of satellites orbiting Earth is rising fast, thanks to private companies such as SpaceX. But just how big will ...

Called X-point target radiator (XPTR), this discovery could also help shed excess heat, and therefore has the potential to ...

It is shocking that 2C is plausible,” said Adam Scaife of Britain’s Met Office, echoing a view now shared throughout the climate science community. For three decades, predictions of this kind of ...

Recent research projects run by Dr E Thompson (University of Greenwich), the photovoltaics company Polysolar, and Hugh Lowe ...

From his early work alongside Nik Bärtsch to commissions from the Lucerne Festival and accolades like the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Don Li has consistently operated outside the bounds ...

In an interview, the climate scientist reveals how some outdoor workers are exposed to extreme heat, which causes ...

Oceans have absorbed the vast majority of the warming caused by burning fossil fuels and shielded societies from the full ...
