Higher methane emissions from warmer lakes and reservoirs may exacerbate worst-case climate scenario

Emissions of methane from lakes and reservoirs risk doubling by the end of the century due to climate change according to a new study from LiU and NASA. This in turn could raise Earth鈥檚 temperature more than suggested by current worst-case scenario.

Sperm molecules can predict IVF success

The sperm is not a passive supplier of genetic material to the egg. A study shows that certain molecules that come with the sperm, so-called micro-RNA, contribute to the development of the embryo several days after conception.
