New research reveals that fireworks leave a hidden trail of pollution in the air and water long after the final explosion. Fireworks may dazzle crowds with brilliant colors and booming explosions, but new research suggests their effects last well beyond the finale. Three recently published studies in ACS journals examined what fireworks leave behind, from […]
Fireworks May Pollute the Air and Water More Than You Think

A Colossal Moon Impact May Have Left Ancient Secrets Near Future Artemis Landing Sites
A giant impact billions of years ago may have brought rocks from deep inside the Moon to the surface near the lunar south pole. Researchers say future Artemis astronauts could study this rare material to learn more about the Moon’s origin and evolution. Scientists have uncovered new evidence about the violent event that created the […]
Scientists Uncover the Hidden Force Making Sea-Level Rise Far Worse Than Expected
Sea-level rise is not just about the oceans. New research shows that sinking land is dramatically increasing flood risk in many coastal cities. As climate change pushes oceans higher, many of the world’s biggest coastal cities are confronting a second, less visible threat beneath their streets. In places where millions of people live, the ground […]

NASA Satellites Spot Rare Underwater Volcano Eruption That Could Create Earth’s Newest Island
A submarine eruption north of Papua New Guinea may be building new land while satellites track its evolution from above. Oceanographers often point out that the surfaces of the Moon and Mars are mapped more precisely than much of the deep seafloor on Earth. That gap is especially clear in the Bismarck Sea, a deep […]
New Fossils Show the Arctic Was an Evolutionary Powerhouse During the Age of Dinosaurs
Tiny fossil teeth from Alaska are changing how scientists view mammal life and migration in the ancient Arctic. Today’s Arctic is one of the harshest and least biodiverse places on Earth, but during the age of dinosaurs it was home to a surprisingly rich community of mammals. A new fossil discovery suggests this ancient polar […]
