Since December 2019, SARS-CoV-2 has spread globally ( 1 ), resulting in over 200 million confirmed infections and over 4 million deaths ( 2 ). COVID-19 vaccines serve a critical role in combating the

The world could lose half of its best coffee-growing land under a moderate climate change scenario. Brazil, which is the currently world’s largest coffee producer, will see its most suitable coffee-gr

Thirty-one states, as well as Washington, DC and Puerto Rico, are reporting decreasing or plateauing new COVID-19 case averages, ABC News reports, signaling that the massive surge caused by the Omicro

Scientists at EPFL have developed a way to maximize hydrogen yields from biowaste within a few milliseconds. The method uses rapid photo-pyrolysis to produce hydrogen gas and solid conductive carbon f

There's been a lot of talk recently about hydrogen as a replacement for natural gas. The scheme is to gradually add H2 to the natural gas grid, with the H2 being made from water using "excess" renewab

A systematic study of Facebook posts by anti-vaccine groups revealed that these accounts were spreading distrust in COVID-19 vaccines as far back as February 2020 — before the US government even launc

In a study that included dozens of college students it was found that marijuana use may counteract the negative impacts that alcohol use can have on a person’s sleep. The study, titled Cannabis and A
