I added some new Halloween science experiments to our collection this year, so I thought I’d include them in one big roundup with lots of great ideas from other bloggers too. Here at Science Sparks, we love Making science spooky! We’ve got fizzy witch potions, spooky chia seed slime, a spooky noise maker, a pumpkin…

DLESyM 模型在模拟热带气旋和印度夏季季风方面优于 CMIP6 模型。它至少与CMIP6 1000年模拟结束时（3016 年）生成的东北风暴的结构与 2018 年观测到的东北风暴非常相似. 然而，新模型和CMIP6此外，对于中期预报（即未来 15天左右的预报），DLESyM DLESyM DLESyM compliant, CMIP6 compliant (AGU Advances, https://doi.org/10.1029/2025AV0017062025) —科学撰稿人Madeline Reinsel This translation was done by wiley. 本文翻译由wiley提供。 Read this article on WeChat. 在微信上阅读本文.

Now, geological analysis reveals that the swarm…
Credit: Mi. When a Ukrainian soldier receives shrapnel from the explosion of a mine or some ammunition launched from a drone, survival depends on a few seconds. Those seconds now belong to artificial intelligence. In the midst of the war with Russia, Ukraine has become an unexpected testing field for AI Battlefield Medicine. A new…
Eric World essay One billion here, one billion there, you will soon be talking about real money. Snowy Hydro 2.0 indicates another cost explosion with a price of 12 billion dollars that is now considered unattainable The pumping hydroelectric project in the Kosciuszko National Park is complete at 67%, but the cost increases in the…
“I came today to put a face to science and what these cuts mean, and I also wanted to change the script to be called ‘scammer’ to be called a patriot. I think scientists serve their country using the skills they have.” –Dr Jennifer Moraash, June 2025 days of participating action Scientists serve communities through…
A new large -scale study has found that nicotinamide, a common vitamin B3 supplement, can significantly reduce the risk of recurrence of skin cancer. Dermatologists have recommended the Nicotinamide supplement to patients with a history of skin cancer since 2015, after a clinical trial that involves 386 people discovered that those who took this form…
Assembly formed by primordial peptides as observed by bright field microscopy. Credit: frenkel-pininter laboratory A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences sheds light on one of life’s greatest mysteries: why biology is based on a very specific set of amino acids and, in…
During millennia, astronomers thought Uranus was nothing more than a distant star. It was not until the end of the 18th century that Uranus was universally accepted as a planet. To this day, the world ringed and blue subverts the expectations of scientists, but NASA’s new research helps to disconnect part of the mystique of…
Decimetric broadband radio explosions have been observed (with frequencies from hundreds of MHz to a few GHz) from the sun and other flame stars. In the solar case, such explosions have been classified as decimetric explosions of type IV (T-IVDM). Its spectra often contain substantial fine structures, such as pulsations, peaks and various absorption structures….
