Lead contamination is not just a problem for Flint, Michigan. It is an issue in many regions. One epidemiologist figured out how to measure past lead exposure using treasured biological samples.
Bushfires require three key ingredients to ignite: heat, fuel and oxygen.
New research demonstrates that the solar system is wetter than we thought.
The source of water on Earth, the Moon and planets in our solar system is hotly debated. Some in the planetary science community argued that it came from asteroids and comets. Now they have proof.
Leonardo's obsession with water flowed through his technical work, his art and his scientific ideas.
Cities need to pay attention to how extreme weather events effect their resources.

When it comes to weight loss, there's no such thing as a quick fix. But some foods will keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Since 2008, Landsat data has been free for the world to use, spurring new applications and scientific research. But that door could soon slam shut.
Hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table and essential for life on Earth. It may also be key to shifting away from fossil fuels toward clean sources of energy, but challenges remain.
Satellites hundreds of miles overheard are helping scientists to predict drought, track floods and see how climate change is changing access to water resources.
