Food waste may become a powerful climate tool thanks to tiny reusable beads that capture carbon directly from the air. Keeping global warming below 1.5°C over the long term will require more than major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. According to climate scenarios outlined in the latest Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate [...]
Physicists are rethinking how to detect elusive particles like neutrinos by combining existing technologies in unconventional ways. Progress in physics often comes from unexpected combinations of familiar ideas. That is increasingly true in the hunt for elusive particles like neutrinos and potential dark matter candidates, where detection is limited not just by theory but by [...]
A new analysis of meteorite isotopes challenges long-held ideas about Earth’s origins, suggesting our planet may have formed almost entirely from nearby material rather than distant sources. Planetary scientists have long debated the origin of the material that formed Earth. Although our planet sits in the inner Solar System, many researchers have estimated that between [...]
New research based on decades of satellite observations reveals an unexpected atmospheric connection: mineral dust from distant deserts can trigger the freezing of clouds in the Northern Hemisphere. A new study has found that tiny dust particles traveling from distant deserts can help trigger the freezing of clouds in the Northern Hemisphere. This subtle atmospheric [...]
Inspired by how bones heal naturally, researchers have engineered a laser-structured hydrogel that could one day replace conventional bone implants. Bones fractured in a (skiing) accident often mend without medical intervention. However, when a break is especially severe, or a bone tumor must be surgically removed, doctors may place an implant to stabilize the area [...]
IBM and an international team of researchers have created a never-before-seen molecule whose electrons travel in a corkscrew-like pattern, and proved its exotic properties using a quantum computer.
Switzerland’s glaciers are disappearing faster than ever — and the Alps may never look the same. Even during the United Nations International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation, Switzerland’s glaciers continued to shrink dramatically. A snow-poor winter was followed by intense heat waves in June 2025, pushing ice loss close to the record-breaking levels seen in 2022. [...]
Deep beneath Antarctica’s ice, scientists have uncovered a geological archive that could reshape predictions of future sea-level rise. Working roughly 700 kilometers from the closest Antarctic research stations, the team drilled through 523 meters of solid ice at Crary Ice Rise, located along the edge of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Beneath the ice, they [...]
A vast African peatland once thought stable is now leaking carbon thousands of years old. Tropical swamps and peatlands are major components of Earth’s carbon system and play a significant role in regulating the climate. Regions such as the Amazon Basin, the Congo Basin, and the wetlands of Southeast Asia steadily build up thick layers [...]
Deep Earth conditions created in a lab reveal the core is chemically packed with hydrogen.
Just in case you didn’t happen to stumble upon it:

Researchers from ETH Zurich have discovered serious security vulnerabilities in three popular, cloud-based password managers. During testing, they were able to view and even make changes to stored passwords.
