Physicists have successfully transported antimatter by truck for the first time — a milestone that allows them to study the elusive material with unprecedented precision and could eventually help to explain how matter came to dominate the universe. The short, tightly controlled journey around the campus of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in…
It is absolutely self-evident to me that space exploration is pointless, and the more urgent the crises besetting this planet we live on, the more pointless it becomes. I can see why people got excited about it in the 1960s, back when the world was young and we still thought there might be little green…
Water likely accumulated on the moon slowly over billions of years, rather than during one big event, according to a new study by an international team of scientists. The researchers, including Paul Hayne, a planetary scientist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder, have published their findings…

The super-heated corona extends millions of miles into space. For…

Using the new information, described as a “master key”, those involved in the project said they had already traced Crinkle’s roots back to wild populations near Ifrane National Park and Khenifra National Park in Morocco – two strongholds for the species. Source: Read Full Article

Images have long played a powerful role in shaping public perceptions of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), often reinforcing emotional reactions more than scientific understanding. A new experimental study published in the Journal of Science Communication (JCOM) explores how different types of images can influence people’s attitudes toward GMOs—and suggests that pictures may reinforce existing views,…
Florida is among the wettest U.S. states, but that doesn’t mean it is drought-free. Nearly all of Florida faced at least “moderate” drought, and nearly 80 percent faced “extreme” conditions in April 2026, according to data from the U.S. Drought Monitor. Unusually dry conditions gripped the state for much of 2025, but the intensity and…
