Researchers have developed a liquid metal that breaks down carbon dioxide in the air, converting it from a climate threat into a valuable raw material.
Studies now show that most wildfires don’t kill microbes. That’s fueling worries about what risks these smoke hitchhikers might pose to people.
Climate change may make these not-quite-dead blazes more common. Scientists are learning to predict where a zombie might emerge.
Heat-trapping gases from dead trees play an important role in the environmental impact of “ghost” forests.
