Sulfur-Based Material Offers Catalyst-Free Route to Solar Hydrogen Production

A research team has demonstrated a new approach to hydrogen production that could simplify the way we generate clean fuel from sunlight and water. The work centers on a light-activated material that can split water molecules without the additional metal catalyst typically needed in such reactions. The key innovation

NASA's INSPYRE Campaign Chases Rare Wildfire Thunderclouds

The Hunt for PyroCb Clouds Wildfire smoke does more than drift across the sky—it can spawn its own violent weather systems. NASA researchers call these pyrocumulonimbus (or pyroCb) clouds, and they behave like thunderstorms fueled by fire rather than the sun's warmth. The INSPYRE campaign—standing for

Scientists Create First-Ever Nationwide Assessment of U.S. River Health

A team of scientists has completed the first nationwide assessment of river health in the contiguous United States, creating a detailed map that grades every river and stream while pinpointing the specific repairs each waterway needs to support aquatic life. The assessment moves beyond simple water quality measurements to evaluate

Study Reveals Ocean Heatwaves Hide Months of Accumulated Warming

The Hidden Length of Ocean Warming When marine heatwaves make headlines, they typically capture the most extreme temperature spikes. However, new research suggests that the visible heatwave may represent only the tip of a much larger thermal event. Scientists have found that elevated ocean temperatures frequently linger for months after
