How Changing Seasonality Expands Extreme Dry and Humid Heat
A NASA and Columbia Climate School study reveals that extreme heat seasons are expanding asymmetrically into spring and autumn, disrupting human health and daily routines.
How Burned Replicas Reveal Ancient Charred Scrolls
Researchers led by Douglas Seiler burned modern papyrus replicas inscribed with lead-spiked ink to develop X-ray CT methods for reading carbonized Herculaneum scrolls.
How Expedition 75 Tests Microgravity Soldering in Orbit
Expedition 75 astronauts concluded lead-free microgravity soldering tests aboard the ISS, conducted lunar landing simulations, and prepared for the Progress 96 cargo arrival.
Why Flood-Damaged Nepal is Testing the Global Loss and Damage Fund
Following catastrophic mountain avalanches and floods that killed over 1,400 people, Nepal has requested $20 million from the UN Loss and Damage Fund. With 119 nations awaiting disaster support, the move tests the stalled global climate compensation mechanism.
How Stellar Wind Accretion Powers Giant Pulsar Flares
Astronomers using the XRISM space observatory have directly observed stellar wind accretion onto a neutron star in BP Crucis, tracking ionized gas moving at 335,000 mph.
How the COSI Space Telescope Unlocks Cosmic Antimatter
The COSI space telescope has reached a major hardware milestone as UC Berkeley engineers completed lifting its core detector assembly. Designed to survey soft gamma rays, the observatory will investigate the origin of galactic antimatter, trace nucleosynthesis in supernovae, and measure polarization around cosmic black holes.
Why Mental Health Screening is Backed by the IOC for Athletes
The International Olympic Committee recommends routine mental health screening for elite athletes to detect psychological distress early, separate acute pressure from clinical disorders, and provide timely clinical care.
Why NASA Awarded SpaceX Three Additional Station Flights
NASA has awarded SpaceX a $946 million contract modification for three additional crew rotation missions to the International Space Station, extending CCtCap transportation services through 2030.
Adelaide Study Links Standing Heart Rate in Long COVID to POTS
Adelaide University researchers discovered that nearly two-thirds of long COVID patients exhibit standing heart rate spikes meeting the criteria for POTS.
Where Tons of Fishing Gear and Plastic in Seychelles Originate
Satellite tracking and drift modeling reveal that tons of fishing gear washing up on Seychelles beaches come largely from industrial fleets within local waters rather than distant shores.
