Many of the most advanced climate models simulate smoke that is darker, or more light absorbing, than what researchers see in observations. A study of biomass burning aerosols led by University of ...

Rats passively exposed to tobacco smoke become dependent on nicotine, according to a new study. The findings of how rats' brains respond to exposure to tobacco smoke have implications for the study of ...
