Trees and tall buildings reduce urban heat island effect

The urban heat island effect can lead to dangerous temperatures during the summer. But trees—and higher buildings—can lessen the effect.

Bumble bees heat up when they carry pollen

Carrying pollen gives bumble bees a workout, significantly increasing their body temperature, a new study shows.

‘Stack of pancakes’ may explain odd magnet behavior

“Stacked pancakes of liquid magnetism” may account for the strange electronic behavior of some layered helical magnets.

Summer heat waves have devastated NY bay scallops

Summer heatwaves and low dissolved oxygen have been deadly for northern bay scallops and have led the fishery to collapse in New York state.

Ants may not be able to adapt when temps rise

Ants may not be able to adjust their behavior in response to rising temperatures. That’s a problem because if ants get too hot, they die.
