Experiments in microgravity aboard the International Space Station have allowed researchers to observe "cool flames" that can't be created on Earth.

The evidence "shows early people, over a long period of time, took control over their environment rather than being controlled by it."

Even in extreme wildfires, thinning and prescribed burns to reduce the number of small trees and shrubs can pay off in the long run, a new study shows.

After the fire that almost claimed Notre Dame, how will the efforts to rebuild affect the landmark's symbolic and religious significance?

After the fire that damaged Notre Dame, an art historian explains what's in store for the cathedral and why neglecting major landmarks is so dire.

A new nontoxic flame retardant made from natural clay and cellulose offers better fire protection for furniture, textiles, and insulation.

How do you make a light-weight cladding material that doesn't catch fire? One researcher took inspiration from the insulation on a humble electrical cable.

The material could make a great addition to lighter, heat resistant coats for firefighters or even absorb CO2 from the air as part of a gas mask.
