Instead of encouraging smoking cessation and harm reduction, the US Centers for Disease Control has spent more than a decade undermining products other than Big Pharma. That has been and continues to be a mistake. Smoking kills, and anything that helps reduce or eliminate it, from patches to gum, vaping to hypnosis, should be available….
This week, the US government issued its first report Company fined for leaving space junk in space. Why is space debris a problem? The space is a pretty big place. The problem is that even a small piece of space junk left behind can cause massive damage if it collides with a spacecraft or another…
Fountain: Geophysical Research Journal: Solid Earth Magnetotelluric (MT) data, which contain measurements of electric and magnetic field variations at the Earth’s surface, provide information about the electrical resistivity of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle. Changes in resistivityor the ability to conduct an electric current, may indicate the presence of geological features such as igneous…
Credit: ZME Science/Midjourney. When scientists squeezed a drop of water between two diamonds to withstand pressures tens of thousands of times greater than Earth’s atmosphere, something unexpected happened. The liquid solidified at room temperature, not into any known form of ice, but into a new crystalline phase. This never-before-seen structure, called ice XXI, was discovered…
The world record warm temperature may have been measured incorrectly. In 1913, a temperature of 134°F (56.7°C) was reported in Greenland Ranch in Death Valley, California, still ranks as the highest air temperature ever recorded on Earth. But this new study by our friends Dr. John Christy and Dr. Roy Spencer argues that the famous…
We are deeply alarmed by the Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to reverse its long-standing greenhouse gas hazard determination. This action undermines decades of rigorous scientific research showing that carbon dioxide, methane and other emissions pose a clear threat to human health and well-being. AGU strongly supports the global scientific community: the weight of the evidence…
With a length of 6 to 7 cm, a wheat-colored tongue and distinctive markings, it represents the 47th recorded species of Diploderma in China. Chinese researchers have formally identified a new species of mountain lizard from the upper Dadu River Valley. The upper Dadu River Valley is located in the Hengduan Mountains of western Sichuan…
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Richard Robson, Susumu Kitagawa and Omar Yaghi on October 8, 2025 for the development of metal-organic frameworks, or MOFwhich are tunable crystalline structures with extremely high porosity. These are a class of materials that have truly changed the way scientists design and think about matter, inspiring…
At first, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer may seem like little overlap. One gradually destroys memory and cognition, while the other devastates the body through uncontrolled cell growth. However, scientists at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center have found an unexpected biological link between them. His new study, published in cancer researchshows that a protein strongly associated with…
Our Sun is constantly active and much of its activity, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, is driven by its magnetic fields. However, this magnetic field cannot be directly estimated; It is necessary to employ various observation and radio techniques to estimate these magnetic fields (White 2004; Gopalswamy 2006). While radio-based techniques have…
