Latest science news covering space exploration, climate research, biotech breakthroughs, and discoveries. Expert reporting on the research transforming our world.
The municipality of Junin in Buenos Aires province is building a $20 million, 20-megawatt solar park across 50 hectares with 42,000-plus panels. The project, contracted to Genneia, will power more than 10,000 homes and prevent 17,500 tonnes of CO2 annually.
The IUCN has uplisted the emperor penguin to Endangered, projecting the global population will halve by the 2080s as Antarctic sea ice loss driven by climate change destroys critical breeding habitat.
NASA's Artemis II crew splashed down April 10, 2026, completing the first crewed lunar mission since 1972 and breaking the human deep-space distance record.
A major international collaboration has pinned the Hubble constant at 73.50 km/s/Mpc with better than 1% precision, confirming the Hubble tension is real and cannot be explained by measurement error. Cosmology may need new physics.
Days after the Space Launch System propelled Artemis II around the Moon, the Trump administration issued a request for commercial alternatives and a White House budget proposal cast serious doubt on the rocket's future.
The Trump administration has repealed the 2009 EPA endangerment finding that underpins all federal greenhouse gas regulation under the Clean Air Act. At least 24 states have filed suit, calling it the most sweeping environmental rollback in US history.
Northrop Grumman's CRS-24 mission lifted off from Cape Canaveral aboard a Falcon 9 on April 11, delivering over 5 tons of food, science equipment, and spare parts to the International Space Station.
Arizona State's Matthias Heyden has built a simulation method that pulls out the slow vibrations governing how proteins change shape, compressing weeks of compute into one overnight run.
Four astronauts splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego at 5:07 PM PT on April 10, 2026, ending the 10-day Artemis II mission and becoming the first crew to return from lunar distance since Apollo 17 in 1972.
NASA's LROC team identified a fresh 22-meter-wide crater formed between 2009 and 2012, revealing the Moon is still actively changing and what that means for future astronaut missions.
India has pulled its bid to host COP33, citing domestic energy pressures that Carbon Brief describes as potentially the worst energy crisis in the country's modern history. The retreat signals a fracturing of the developing-nation climate leadership consensus India helped build at COP26 and COP28.
Synchrotron imaging reveals Pohlsepia mazonensis, the 300-million-year-old specimen with a Guinness World Record, was actually a nautiloid, rewriting cephalopod evolutionary history.
