"Green Tech Alone Won't Save Us": Experts Warn Of Insufficient Progress Amid Climate Crisis
The rapid growth of green technology innovation may not be sufficient to address the escalating climate crisis and ecological scarcity.

New Research Sheds Light on Iron’s Role in Earth’s Core Dynamics
Cutting-edge research using ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy has revealed the structural and thermal behaviour of iron under extreme conditions mimicking Earth’s core. Findings show a hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure at 240 GPa and 5,345 K, challenging prior theories favouring a body-centred cubic (bcc) form. The study provides criti...

NASA's Dawn Mission Unveils Insights into Vesta’s Mysterious Gullies Using Lab Simulations
NASA’s Dawn mission to the asteroid Vesta revealed mysterious gullies on its surface. New lab experiments, simulating Vesta's harsh vacuum conditions, suggest that liquid water, possibly briny, could have flowed briefly and carved these channels. These findings challenge existing theories about liquid stability on airless bodies and provide insig...

Scientists Discover New Electric Field in Earth’s Atmosphere Crucial for Life
Scientists have finally detected the long-predicted ambipolar electric field in Earth's atmosphere. Though weak, it plays a crucial role in shaping the planet’s upper atmosphere, impacting the polar wind and potentially contributing to Earth’s habitability. This discovery could help explain why Earth’s atmosphere has remained conducive to lif...
