Since 2014, a strange and violent phenomenon has been unsettling scientists and local herders across the remote Yamal and Gydan peninsulas of western Siberia. Without warning, the ground itself explodes, blasting soil and chunks of ice hundreds of feet into the air and leaving behind a massive crater that can plunge more than 160 feet deep.

A floating solar farm in the Netherlands is turning out to have an effect nobody quite expected; it is giving underwater life a real boost. Bomhofsplas is a large artificial lake near the city of Zwolle, and its surface is now covered with more than seventy thousand solar panels installed by the energy company BayWa r.e.

Most professions reward certainty. A doctor is expected to diagnose, a lawyer to argue a clear position, a manager to make a firm call.

BENGALURU: India's first solar observatory, Aditya-L1, has captured a rare X-ray phenomenon during some of the most powerful solar eruptions ever recorded, giving scientists a new way to study where these explosive events originate high above the Sun's surface.

A massive heat dome has turned America's 250th Independence Day into one of the hottest on record, cancelling parades and breaking century-old temperature records. Scientists say the extreme humid heat would have been virtually impossible without human-caused climate change.

The sounds of birdsong are likely doing more than just marking the arrival of spring, as they could also reveal how healthy a farmland is. Scientists recorded over 2,000 hours of birdsong across 14 agricultural landscapes across the whole of Germany, following which they noticed that farms surrounded by forests, orchards and permanent grasslands consistently support a richer variety of bird species than landscapes dominated by large uniform crop fields.

A remarkable archaeological discovery in a cave on Norway's east coast has given scientists a rare glimpse into one of the country's oldest farming communities. Archaeologists uncovered the remains of a 4,000-year-old child near Bergen, a find that could help answer questions about where some of Norway's first agricultural settlers came from and what they may have looked like.

These fast-growing plant species helped the country to transform its barren terrain into green cover.

Towering more than 70 meters above the ground, some of Malaysia's tallest tropical trees perform an extraordinary feat nearly every day: drawing water from their roots to the last leaf high above the canopy. Researchers once believed that giant trees are likely to be more vulnerable during droughts as gravity makes it more difficult to move water to such extreme heights.
