Huge Volcanic Supereruption 74,000 Years Ago Disrupted Climate but Not Human Evolution
A massive volcanic eruption in Indonesia about 74,000 years ago likely caused severe climate disruption in many areas of the globe, but early human populations…

Highlights Need to Protect Orangutan Habitat Wild orangutans are known for their ability to survive food shortages, but scientists have made a surprising finding that…
Antarctic ice sheet is more likely to remain stable if Paris climate agreement is met. The Antarctic ice sheet is much less likely to become…
Scientists’ findings suggest corals will withstand climate change. Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who championed the theory of evolution, noted that corals form far-reaching structures,…
Study suggests reducing fishing and addressing environmental changes would help cod recover. Overfishing likely did not cause the Atlantic cod, an iconic species, to evolve…
Global increase from melting ice and warming oceans is most significant change since 1800. The rate of sea-level rise in the 20th century along much…
Genetic code evolution and Darwin’s evolution theory should consider DNA an “energy code.” Darwin’s theory of evolution should be expanded to include consideration of a…
How did rocks rust on Earth and turn red? A Rutgers-led study has shed new light on the important phenomenon and will help address questions…
Unprecedented warming in equatorial Pacific Ocean could last up to seven years. A nuclear war could trigger an unprecedented El Niño-like warming episode in the…
How to Identify Heat-Stressed Corals Researchers have found a novel way to identify heat-stressed corals, which could help scientists pinpoint the coral species that need protection…
3D-Printed Smart Gel Changes Shape When Exposed to Light Inspired by the color-changing skin of cuttlefish, octopuses and squids, Rutgers engineers have created a 3D-printed…
People with severe COVID-19 who had secondary bloodstream infections were sicker, had longer hospital stays and worse health outcomes, Rutgers study finds. People with severe…
