Chernobyl's Black Fungi Thrive On Radiation And Could Help Protect Life In Space
This cool discovery in the ruins of Chernobyl is now helping to understand how life on Earth copes with radiation, and how humans can stay safe in space in the future.

Hubble Observes Massive Stellar Eruption from EK Draconis, Hinting at Life’s Origins
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope observed a huge solar storm from EK Draconis, a young Sun-like star. The eruption’s energy may trigger atmospheric chemistry, forming greenhouse gases and organic molecules. Such events could mirror early solar activity that helped spark life on ancient Earth and distant exoplanets.

Scientists Propose Space-Based Carbon-Neutral Data Centres for Sustainable Computing
Scientists at NTU Singapore propose carbon-neutral data centers in low Earth orbit powered by solar energy and cooled by the vacuum of space. The concept could help meet rising AI demands while reducing land use and emissions, offering a sustainable alternative for the global computing industry.

Physicists Predict When Life On Earth Will End In A Reverse Big Bang
A new study predicts the Universe will stop expanding in 11 billion years and collapse in a "Big Crunch" around 20 billion years from now.

Iceland Plume Discovery Reveals Ancient Volcanic Funnels Across North Atlantic
Sixty million years ago, Iceland’s deep plume fueled massive eruptions across the North Atlantic. Cambridge scientists discovered hidden weak zones in Earth’s crust that funneled the plume’s heat, explaining volcanic fields like the Giant’s Causeway. These ancient scars still shape today’s earthquakes and geothermal energy across Britain ...

Is Earth In A Giant Cosmic Void? Why New Research Could Change Everything
New research suggests Earth may lie inside a massive, billion-light-year-wide cosmic void, offering a possible solution to the Hubble Tension and changing our understanding of the universes expansion.

Earth Trapping More Heat Than Expected, Rate Doubled In 20 Years
How do you measure climate change? One way is by recording temperatures in different places over a long period of time. While this works well, natural variation can make it harder to see longer-term trends.

Rise In Greenhouse Gas Release Causing More Extreme Weather, Scientists Warn
Humans are on track to release so much greenhouse gas in less than three years that a key threshold for limiting global warming will be nearly unavoidable, according to a study to be released Thursday.
