Research & science How naked mole rat queens stop rivals reproducing - Nature Nature subject feed — Environmental Sciences · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science Crab-dug tunnels boost methane-eating microbes in coastal wetlands, study finds Wetlands are a significant producer of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide. Yet not all of it escapes into the atmosphere. One reason is crabs. A study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology has shown that crab burrows can substantially increase natural processes that consume methane before it reaches the atmosphere.

Yet they continue to disappear at an alarming rate. Many companies have adopted zero-deforestation commitments to reduce this trend. But it is crucial to determine how effective these commitments are.

But beneath the surface, these small, shallow waters are anything but stable. In fact, they are among the most thermally variable aquatic ecosystems on Earth, with water temperatures sometimes swinging more than 20°C (36°F) in a single day.

It depends on how you do it Teleworking—including working from home, coworking or working from other third places—can reduce carbon emissions by eliminating commutes. But if you're not careful, this benefit will be offset by the carbon cost of work-related housing space, according to a study published in PLOS Climate by Jana Z'Rotz of Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland, and colleagues.

But despite a growing body of research on these solutions, we still have only a limited idea of what actually works in practice. That's according to a study published today in Environmental Research Letters, coauthored by researchers at… Phys.org — Environment tag feed · 15 Jul 2026 Research & science NASA's Perseverance rover reads record of ancient Mars impacts NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has uncovered evidence that a 245-foot-thick (75-meter-thick) stack of ancient rock on the rim of Jezero Crater was built by repeated asteroid impacts. Referred to as the "Broom Point member" by the rover's science team, this sequence of layered bedrock is likely more than 3.9 billion years old, making it among the oldest terrain ever examined by a Mars rover.
