The financial sector is among the world's most heavily regulated industries—and for good reason. Financial rules, which force banks to hold capital in reserve when making riskier investments, are designed to prevent financial crises. Other…

One of the wildest wonders of nature is the ability of some animals to reproduce by splitting in half. There is still so much we don't know about this process. So the discovery of a 155-million-year-old starfish fossil frozen partway…

Since the Paris Climate Agreement, banks together have funneled trillion into fossil fuel companies, according to the 15th Banking on Climate Chaos report. Last year, JPMorgan Chase was the No. 1 fossil fuel financier in the world. Some of…

Banks have invested trillions of dollars since the Paris Agreement went into effect.

If Donald Trump wins the presidential election, he is expected to push the International Energy Agency (IEA), for which the United States provides about a quarter of the funding, back to energy security and fossil fuel supply, Reuters…

Fossil fuel growth has stalled while wind and solar are growing.

It's impossible to remove enough CO2 from the atmosphere to fight climate change. The solution is to stop using fossil fuels.

New device using quartz crystals and silicon can yield temperatures over 1,000C

Paleontologists have found the 'unfindable'.

To the untrained eye, the ancient brittle star fossil above looks like what you’d expect of a now-especially-brittle echinoderm. But the fossil is quite rare: It captures the moment at which the brittle star was cloning itself,…

A new solar thermal trap can help pave the way for compact, efficient concentrating solar systems to decarbonize heavy industries.

A PhD student at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland, with the support of a CNRS researcher, has discovered a fossil that bridges the evolutionary...

In a warmer climate, summers warm much faster than winters. That is the conclusion of research into fossil shells by Earth scientist Niels de Winter. With this knowledge, we can better map the consequences of current global warming in the…

Solar power could replace fossil fuels in high-heat industries like steel and cement manufacturing.

Instead of burning fossil fuels to smelt steel and cook cement, researchers in Switzerland want to use heat from the sun. The proof-of-concept study uses synthetic quartz to trap solar energy at temperatures over 1,000 C (1,832 F),…

Starfish reproduce by splitting in two. A new fossil reveals how ancient this ability is.

A team of paleontologists from Germany and Austria reports that a brittle star fossil found in Germany shows evidence of clonal fragmentation 150 million years ago. Their paper is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B…
