A new process turns plastic waste into gasoline and diesel fuel
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a method to convert polyethylene plastic waste into gasoline and diesel fuel using molten salts containing aluminum chloride at temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius.
Scientists discover first new penguin species in more than 100 years
An international team of researchers has identified a population of gentoo penguins living on the Kerguelen Islands as a distinct species, marking the first new penguin species formally named in more than 100 years.
AI solved one of math’s hardest problems. Humanity learned nothing (so far)
OpenAI’s AI solved a major unsolved mathematics problem, but the resulting 166-page proof is so dense and poorly written that mathematicians say they’ve learned little from it so far.
Artemis II: The 40 minutes when the astronauts lose contact with Earth
Artemis II astronauts will lose radio contact with Earth for approximately 40 minutes as their spacecraft passes behind the Moon, a profound moment of isolation experienced by previous lunar missions.
Summer wildfires caused ‘catastrophic’ hidden damage, scientists warn
Scientists warn that wildfires across Wales this summer caused extensive hidden damage beneath the surface, with thousands of years of accumulated soil carbon destroyed in days.
Nepal floods: The Himalayas are melting faster – and India’s economy is ‘at risk’
Himalayan glaciers are melting 65% faster than a decade ago, with only 21 of 40,000 glaciers monitored, creating risks for hundreds of millions across South Asia dependent on mountain water systems.
Scientists turn seawater into fresh water without harmful brine
Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a solar-powered desalination system that produces fresh water without generating harmful liquid brine, using laser-treated black metal panels.
Spotted wildcat from Bolivian forest revealed as new species
Scientists in Bolivia have identified a new wild cat species through DNA analysis, revealing it was previously confused with similar-looking feline species in South American forests.
Scientists just discovered why Arctic sea ice moves so strangely
Researchers discovered that Arctic sea ice moves unpredictably due to collisions between ice floes rather than wind alone, findings that could improve climate forecasts.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
A dinosaur tail bone discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and stored in a drawer for 40 years has been confirmed as the continent’s first dinosaur fossil, belonging to a long-necked Titanosaur species.
The clues that hint our planet might be heating faster than we realised
Scientists suggest Earth may be warming faster than previously thought due to declining sulphur pollution from clean-air policies, which had previously helped offset carbon dioxide’s warming effects.
This summer was hot. August shattered global heat records
Global temperatures in August shattered records, tying as the hottest month on record and exceeding a key climate threshold, according to international climate agencies.
France lifts alcohol content limit on champagne after record heatwaves
French champagne producers can temporarily raise alcohol content to 15% this year due to record summer heat that produced grapes with unusually high sugar levels, marking the region’s earliest-ever harvest.
Global warming is breaking a 400-year climate link between two oceans
Researchers found that the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans’ long-standing climate connection is being disrupted by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions in ways that appear unprecedented over the past 400 years.
Nepal floods: The Himalayas are melting faster – and India’s economy is ‘at risk’
Himalayan glaciers are melting 65% faster than a decade ago, with only 21 of 40,000 glaciers monitored, raising risks for hundreds of millions across South Asia dependent on mountain water systems.
Back-to-back Arctic storms can double sea ice loss
Consecutive Arctic storms can reduce sea ice cover twice as much as isolated cyclones, according to a new international study analyzing decades of weather data.
Giant lion’s mane jellyfish caught on camera off Pembrokeshire coast
A free diver off the Welsh coast captured footage of a giant lion’s mane jellyfish measuring approximately 10 to 15 metres, marking the first sighting of the species in Wales for the young conservationist.
Supermassive black hole winds are 100 times more powerful than scientists thought
New observations reveal that winds from supermassive black holes carry energy across roughly 300,000 light-years with about 100 times more power than previously estimated.
The shape behind the Einstein problem just revealed strange new physics
Researchers have discovered that optical structures based on the Smith hat, a shape that solved a decades-old mathematics problem, exhibit unusual chiral light patterns, revealing new physics at the intersection of geometry and optics.
UV light reveals possible camouflage on a 125-million-year-old crocodile
Scientists using ultraviolet light have revealed soft tissues and possible camouflage patterns on a 125-million-year-old crocodile fossil from Spain, providing rare insights into ancient skin and coloration.
This Australian cave hid 25,000 years of ritual secrets
Archaeological evidence shows Cloggs Cave in Australia was used for spiritual rituals continuously over roughly 25,000 years, with evidence of deliberately burned grasses preserved in layered ash deposits.
