Close your eyes. Breathe in. Breathe out. Now picture this. You are standing on the beach, feeling the soft, warm sand underneath your feet, watching the ocean waves crash gently onto the shore and palm trees swaying in the wind.

Everybody wants to start a podcast these days - even AI. What does this mean for the future of science communication?

A group of more than 60 community advocates, government leaders, architects, developers, and researchers came together this week to talk about how to equitably address the rapidly transforming housing landscape in South Florida.

On Sept. 19, the imaging spectrometer on the Carbon Mapper Coalition's Tanager-1 satellite detected this methane plume in Karachi, Pakistan, extending nearly 2 1/2 miles (4 kilometers) from a landfill. The spectrometer was designed at NASA JPL.

A groundbreaking new book has further revealed that English is a global language which comes in multiple varieties, and challenges the idea that there is only one correct way to speak and write English in higher education.

If tens of thousands of miners turned up in the middle of a protected rainforest to mine for sapphires, you might expect that to cause lots of deforestation and harm local wildlife. Mining has a very bad reputation. It is often assumed to be one of the worse land uses - destroying and polluting the environment and creating barren, moon-like landscapes.

Plastic, a material designed to be resistant and not break down, remains difficult to recycle. These characteristics make it similar to wood, a naturally recalcitrant substance that is degraded by the specialised enzymes found in certain filamentous fungi.

The project team intends to gain a better understanding of loneliness in Europe and develop recommendations for effective measures against loneliness.

As children learn to ride a bike, adults can only guide them to a certain point. A large portion of developing this new skill depends on independent trial and error from the child. After practice, and perhaps a fall or two, children eventually learn how to balance themselves, steer around obstacles, and make informed decisions about their next biking path.

Tracing languages back to their roots often presents challenges like missing words, scant evidence and countless questions. Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science hope to tackle some of these challenges using computer models that help reconstruct ancient languages. Even though they're no longer used, the protolanguages that spawned modern languages can provide a window into the cultural past.
