Scientists are using machine learning to map microbial communities in the human body. Two new papers published this week in PLOS One and Science provide some incredible insights into the
Both the scale and speed of Greenland’s ice losses are much higher than predicted, according to a new paper published on 10 December in Nature (1). The authors claim ice
The majority of climate models published between the early 1970s and late 2000s were remarkably accurate, according to a systematic review published on 4 December in Geophysical Research Letters (1).
