The loss follows a record-high 41.7 million acres in 2016, adding additional strain on climate change mitigation efforts and undermining recent attempts in rainforest conservation.
Researchers say that banning microbeads––plastic bits used to add a little grit to soaps, face washes and toothpastes––from personal care products could help protect the world’s waterways from a growing assault of plastic.

A diamond containing a deep-Earth mineral not previously seen outside of the lab is leading scientists to believe there might be an ocean of ancient water miles beneath our feet.
Asteroid strikes are rare yet stupendously destructive—something they have in common with terrorist attacks and nuclear power plant accidents—but, they are missing something that makes preparing for those disasters an easy sell—personal experience.

Some genes can transform certain ear cells into the hair cells that, when vibrated, generate the electrical activity that awakens your brain to the world of sound. It's possible that these genes can be injected into viruses to restore hearing.
The similar orbits of the two icy bodies are reviving speculation that there may be a big, unseen planet lurking in the outer reaches of our solar system.
