A quarter of carbon emissions from transportation come from heavy-duty trucks. They are also disproportionate sources of air pollution. Addressing these emissions will be challenging and will require a multi-prong strategy. For distances under a few hundred miles, electrification offers the most promising solution. California and fourteen other states plan to make 30% of new heavy-duty truck sales zero emission by 2030.

Known in some parts of the world as broadbills, swordfish ( Xiphias gladius ) are among the fastest and most powerful predatory fish in our ocean. Their iconic bills are literally like swords—long, flat and pointy, with a strength that mystifies scientists. But rather than using their mighty bills as spears, they slash their prey (smaller fish, squid, cuttlefish, for example) just enough to slow them down and have a yummy meal.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

A new study aimed at quantifying how plants take up plastic nanoparticles from the soil has revealed that the plastics accumulate mainly in the roots rather than the shoots. The technique used to trace the nanoparticles involves materials known as lanthanide chelates, and the researchers who developed it say it could be a versatile way to analyse the interactions between nanoplastics and plants.

By Ryan Reed, Natural Resource Program Specialist, Bureau of Forestry Development Reduces the Native Seed Source It is no coincidence that most areas infested with invasive species are those places where humans have significantly altered the landscape through clearing and earth-moving activities. Such activity typically destroys the existing native plant community and supporting soil structure, while also creating a void for invasive plants to easily fill.

Glioblastomas are the most common and deadliest tumours of the central nervous system. Standard-of-care for these tumours typically involves some combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, but patients still often survive only a few months following treatment. Some newer immunotherapy drugs that show promise in other cancers have shown little to no benefit for patients with glioblastomas.
