In a study focused on New York City, MIT researchers have shown that existing sensors and mobile data can be used to generate a near real-time, high-resolution picture of auto emissions, which could be used to develop local transportation and decarbonization policies. The new method produces much more detailed dataContinue Reading

High in a South American rainforest canopy, scientists have discovered a bizarre new termite species that looks strikingly like a miniature sperm whale. Named Cryptotermes mobydicki, this tiny insect has an elongated head and concealed mandibles that give it an uncanny resemblance to the iconic marine giant. Researchers were soContinue Reading
A long stretch of humid heat followed by intense thunderstorms is a weather pattern historically seen mostly in and around the tropics. But climate change is making humid heat waves and extreme storms more common in traditionally temperate midlatitude regions such as the midwestern U.S., which has seen episodes of unusuallyContinue Reading
