Back on Earth, Artemis II crew still finding their footing
Nearly a week after their Pacific splashdown, the astronauts who crewed the Artemis II mission that flew around the moon told reporters Thursday they have yet t...
A student-led experiment sets new limits in the search for axions
In the era of precision cosmology, research often means big science: large observatories, highly complex instruments, international collaborations and substanti...
Deep earthquakes triggered by the olivine-poirierite transition
Seismicity decreases with depth because elevated confining pressure prevents frictional sliding of faults. However, seismicity tends to increase with depth in t...
Preconception radiation exposure alters offspring mitochondrial DNA in an organ-specific manner
It did not take long after the discovery of X-rays in the 1890s for scientists to begin exploring the harmful effects of radiation on living organisms. Yet even...
Different interannual co-evolutionary models reveal how East Asia's jet stream and summer monsoon evolve together
The East Asian Subtropical Westerly Jet (EASWJ) and the East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) are two pivotal components of the East Asian monsoon system, shaping th...
Supercomputer simulation predicts time-resolved porosity in die casting
Aluminum die-cast components are widely used in automotive and precision machinery applications due to their combination of low weight and structural strength....
Agrovoltaic systems can save water, generating energy and making tomato cultivation more sustainable at the same time
Researchers from the University of Seville (US) and the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) have demonstrated that it is possible to grow tomatoes and genera...
Climate impact of bottom fishing depends on where and how the seabed is disturbed
Bottom fishing can release CO₂ from the seabed, but the consequences for the climate are not straightforward. New research, published in the Journal of Applied...
New open-source Python-based software boosts space-weather modeling
University of Birmingham experts have created open-source computer software that helps scientists understand how fast-moving particles behave when they interact...
Methane emerges from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS as it exits the solar system
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is now on its way out of our solar system, never to return. The comet was only the third-ever detected object to originate from outs...
