Venus' Winds Race Around The Planet At Extreme Speeds Due To Solar Heat
New findings suggest that diurnal tides, driven by solar heat, are a major contributor to the extreme speeds of Venus's winds.
-
Scientists Finally Identify What Drives Venus’s Fast Winds
A new study has identified the primary force behind Venus’s extreme superrotating atmosphere: a once-per-day thermal tide driven by solar heating. Using data from Venus Express and Akatsuki along with circulation models, researchers show that this daily tide transports most of the momentum that accelerates cloud-top winds to speeds over 100 metre...

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Soars to 424PPM, Marking Biggest Yearly Jump Ever
The WMO reports Earth’s atmospheric CO₂ reached 422.8 ppm in 2024 — the biggest annual rise ever recorded. Driven by fossil-fuel emissions, wildfires, and weakening carbon sinks, the surge intensifies global warming. Scientists warn that delayed emission cuts could entrench irreversible changes in weather, ecosystems, and sea levels.

Gold Defies Physics: Remains Solid at 14x Its Melting Point in Superheating Experiment
Gold has amazed scientists by remaining solid under extreme temperatures—14 times its standard melting point—due to superheating. The study highlights how conventional physics may not fully explain ultra-fast reactions. These groundbreaking results, published in collaboration with international labs, have far-reaching implications for high-ener...
