A new technique based on weather data is the first to successfully predict caseloads.
Wearable Polygraph Detects Hidden Stress
The body can notice stress before the conscious brain — and that’s no lie.
Scientists discover vast hidden structure beneath Antarctica’s ice
A giant fan-shaped network of hidden basins has been discovered beneath East Antarctica, revealing that several well-known subglacial features are actually part of one massive geological structure. The finding sheds new light on Antarctica’s ancient tectonic history and could help scientists better understand how the ice sheet behaves today.
Goethe never knew this 40-million-year-old ant was hidden in his collection
Scientists examining amber from Goethe’s personal collection discovered three hidden fossil insects, including an extinct ant preserved in extraordinary detail. Advanced 3D imaging allowed researchers to see not only the ant’s outer features but also structures inside its body. The findings offer new clues about the species’ biology and suggest...
Beluga whales keep switching mates and it may be saving their species
Hidden beneath Arctic waters, beluga whales have long kept their family lives a mystery. By analyzing DNA from more than 600 belugas in Alaska’s Bristol Bay over 13 years, researchers uncovered a surprisingly flexible mating system: both males and females regularly have offspring with different partners over their lifetimes.
Typhoon Jangmi
From late May into early June 2026, a broad, slow-spinning storm churned north-northwest over the Philippine Sea toward southern Japan.
Gravity Waves From Super Typhoon Sinlaku
In mid-April 2026, Super Typhoon Sinlaku churned across the North Pacific Ocean and brought heavy rain and flooding to the Mariana Islands.
Water Splitting Catalyst Creates Hydrogen at Low Temperatures
Birmingham researchers’ novel way of producing hydrogen fuel has a lower cost than existing methods.
Typhoon Jangmi’s giant eye lights up the night as it approaches Japan
Typhoon Jangmi powered toward southern Japan with heavy rain, strong winds, and a striking appearance from space. Nighttime satellite images revealed a large eye and intricate swirling structures within the storm. As Jangmi intensified, its outer bands spread over land, raising concerns about flooding and prolonged downpours across parts of...
Super Typhoon Sinlaku triggered atmospheric gravity waves visible from space
One of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded this early in the Pacific season did more than unleash flooding and extreme winds—it sent enormous ripples all the way into the upper atmosphere. As Super Typhoon Sinlaku rapidly exploded into a category 5-equivalent storm, satellites captured rare gravity waves spreading outward...
