Death Valley, in California, is among the hottest areas worldwide, and temperature levels during summer often surpass 120ºF.

In a blow to anyone dreaming that complex life may exist elsewhere in the universe, a new study suggests we're unlikely to ...

New method reveals chemical signs of early microbial life in ancient Earth rocks, showing photosynthesis evolved much earlier ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the system of currents responsible for shuttling warm water ...

Using a three-dimensional canopy photosynthesis model validated in real greenhouse conditions, they found that enhancing parameters such as light quantum efficiency under limiting light (κ₂LL) and ...

Tesla has spent more than a year teasing that “more affordable models” of its vehicles were on the way, and on Tuesday, the company finally revealed them. The company is now selling a more bare-bones ...

After months of teasing, Tesla has finally revealed its cheapest Model Y yet that comes with less to offer—the most important of which is less price. As it turns out, Tesla was doing similar things to ...

Base Model Y isn’t as cheap as we’d hoped, and several rivals are still more affordable. Remember Tesla’s $25,000 budget EV? Neither do we, since it was scrapped before it ever reached production. But ...

The evolution of intelligent life around red dwarf stars is likely to be an uphill slog, due to the demands needed to jumpstart oxygenic photosynthesis. Given that red M-dwarf stars are by far the ...

The gross primary production (GPP) of ecosystems is an important variable in the study of global climate change. Generally, the GPP has been estimated by micrometeorological techniques. However, these ...

Net photosynthesis (AN) is a key component of the global carbon cycle influencing climate feedback over decadal scales. Although plant acclimation to environmental changes can modify AN, traditional ...
