Researchers discovered that by the end of the century, the Amazon will likely see 43% more large blowdown events

Tropical forests are crucial for sucking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But they're also subject to intense storms that can cause "windthrow" – the uprooting or breaking of trees. These downed trees decompose, potentially turning a forest from a carbon sink into a carbon source.

Quantum states are incredibly delicate, and easily destroyed. But the perfect solution could lie in warped crystals.

A new study finds that more extreme thunderstorms from climate change will likely cause a greater number of large windthrow events in the Amazon, which could impact the rainforest's ability to serve as a carbon sink.
