The summer of 2023 saw a surprising increase in global temperatures, even within the context of the ongoing greenhouse gas-driven warming trend. Many scientists were flummoxed. Their simulations didn't show this kind of spike.
"Climate scientists were saying this is essentially impossible, that it is bonkers to see such a jump all at once," said Daniele Visioni, assistant professor in the

In the days leading up to a proposed US government ban on the social media platform TikTok, American users have turned to another Chinese-owned app, Xiaohongshu.
The United States passed a law last year forcing the popular video platform's owner ByteDance to either sell it or shut it down by January 19.
With that deadline looming, Xiaohongshu - a lifestyle-focussed Instagram-meets-Pinte

Used in everything from soda cans and foil wrap to circuit boards and rocket boosters, aluminum is the second-most-produced metal in the world after steel. By the end of this decade, demand is projected to drive up aluminum production by 40 percent worldwide. This steep rise will magnify aluminum's environmental impacts, including any pollutants that are released with its manufacturing waste.

Collapsed stars, known as neutron stars, possess extraordinary density - a trillion times that of lead. Despite their significance, the surface features of neutron stars remain largely uncharted. Recent investigations by nuclear theorists have drawn parallels between mountain formation mechanisms on planetary bodies in our solar system and those on neutron stars. These findings suggest that neut

Until now, carbon capture has focused largely on removing greenhouse gases at their source, such as the emissions of power plants, refineries, concrete plants and other industries.
But University of Cincinnati Professor Joo-Youp Lee said the Golden Fleece of carbon capture is drawing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, which is much, much harder.

India docked two satellites in space Thursday, a key milestone for the country's dreams of a space station and manned Moon mission, the space agency said.
The satellites, weighing 220 kilograms (485 pounds) each, blasted off in December on a single rocket from India's Sriharikota launch site. Later they separated.
The two satellites were manoeuvred back together on Thursday in a "precisi
