We summarize the week's scientific breakthroughs every Thursday.
Small and far-off earthquakes can stifle the spread of large motions on some of the world’s biggest faults.
Spruce trees that experienced long-term droughts were more resistant to future ones, while pines acclimatized to wet periods were more vulnerable.
Penguin poop provides ammonia for cloud formation in coastal Antarctica, potentially helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change in the region.
Thunderstorms are known to generate gamma rays, the highest energy radiation on Earth. But pinning the burst to a specific bolt is new.
The AI tool used machine learning to outperform current weather simulations, offering faster, cheaper, more accurate forecasts.
Oddly shaped deposits of tree resin point to massive waves that struck northern Japan roughly 115 million years ago and swept a forest into the sea.
This assassin bug's ability to use a tool — bees’ resin — could shed light on how the ability evolved in other animals.
A study of weather on a mountain in Greece reveal that bioparticles in the sky may drive fluctuations in rainfall patterns more broadly.
Hundreds of millions of years before oxygen surged in the atmosphere 2.4 billion years ago, swaths of oxygen winked in and out of existence in the ocean.
