Man too has been exposed to and depended upon many of these environmental chemicals since time immemorial. Adaptive change has been necessary. However, a cognitive capability has distinguished man from other living things. This capability has ...
In view of the nonlinear and spatiotemporally complex interactions between aerosols, clouds and precipitation, it is quite inadequate to represent aerosols by the conventional approach of atmospheric pollutant cycles, i.e. by specifying sources, burdens and sinks in terms of masses of particular aeroso...

Pesticides are ubiquitous environmentalpollutantsnegatively affecting ecosystem and human health1,2. About 3 Tg of pesticides are used annually in agriculture to protect crops3. How much of these pesticides remain on land and reach the aquifer or the ocean is uncertain. Monitoring their environmental...
Pollution remediation is the removal of pollutants, including chemical substances and/or energy, that are judged to be having a negative impact on the environment. Frequent targets of remediation include: soils, sediments and watercourses. Featured ...
We should take steps to protect nature, such as planting more trees and reducing the use of plastics. We should also reduce the amount of pollutants and waste we produce, and promote the use of renewable energy sources. Only by protecting nature can we ensure our own survival....
Speciation and historical invasions of the Asian black-spined toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) The Asian black-spined toad is a widespread, poisonous, invasive amphibian. Here, the authors use genomic and DNA-barcoding data from this toad to document its complex evolutionary history, two distinct ...
Among the different power sources for micro- and nanorobots, light is particularly advantageous, being a natural, abundant, and renewable form of energy20. The light-driven self-propulsion relies on breaking the symmetry of a photoactive material (e.g., a photocatalytic semiconductor) so that, ...
