The Hidden Chemistry of Planet Formation

How do water and hydrogen interact in planetary evolution? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the atmospheric interiors of planets and how these aid in their formation and evolution. This study has the potential to help ...

Glaciers are in Retreat Worldwide

A recent study reported in Nature Communications highlighted the loss of glaciers in the Arctic, which has been shown to be the fastest-warming place on Earth in recent decades. The increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and human-caused climate change are significantly raising temperatures around the world. This now seems to be triggering the ...

Microplastics Linked to Chronic Diseases

New research presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session 2025 has shown that higher exposure to microplastics is associated with a greater risk of several chronic diseases, including stroke, diabetes, and hypertension. The study examined the relationship between the ...

The Future of Mars Spacesuits: Insights from Perseverance

What can a NASA Mars rover teach us about the future development of astronaut spacesuits to Mars? This is what NASA’s Perseverance rover, which is currently exploring Jezero Crater on Mars, hopes to address with its five samples of spacesuit samples, known as swatches, that scientists are examining for ...

Scientists Discover Safer Way to Extract Lithium-6

Is there a cleaner and more environmentally friendly way for scientists to create lithium-6, which is a primary component in creating nuclear fusion fuel? This is what a recent study published in Chem hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated safer methods for separating lithium-6 from ...

Beyond 1.5°C: Who Bears the Burden of Climate Overshoot?

Who bears responsibility for Earth surpassing the 1.5°C temperature limit that was established by the Paris Agreement in 2015? This is what a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated methods that can be ...

A day in the life of plants: Proteomic insights into plant growth and development

Glen Uhrig, PhD - Associate Professor, University of Alberta

As sessile organisms, plants are incredibly mindful of their time. As a result, they extensively regulate cellular and physiological processes through a combination of circadian (anticipatory) and light‐responsive (reactive) mechanisms in order to adapt to their changing daily environment and to respond to stress. To date, our understanding of diel plant cell regulation has largely been derived ...
