Historical Carbon Emissions by Country: Why Rich Nations Owe a Climate Debt
The U.S. and other wealthy nations have emitted more CO₂ since industrialization than the entire developing world combined. This explainer breaks down how that historical carbon imbalance defines climate responsibilities, the CBDR-RC legal principle, and what the ICJ's landmark 2025 ruling means for fossil fuel accountability.
Hyperparasite Discovered: A Fungus That Parasitizes a Zombie Fungus
A newly identified fungus called Pleurocordyceps cornusynnemata parasitizes zombie fungi that are already killing insects — making it the world's first formally described fungal hyperparasite, discovered in Malaysian Borneo.
Shigella and Cryptosporidium Share One Weak Spot Scientists Can Target
Scientists at WashU Medicine have identified a shared enzymatic vulnerability in Shigella and Cryptosporidium — two pathogens that kill hundreds of thousands yearly — that could form the basis of a single combination vaccine or drug treatment.
6 Ways the Atlantic Cold Blob Signals a Dangerous AMOC Slowdown
A new peer-reviewed study identifies declining ocean heat transport from a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation as the dominant driver of the North Atlantic cold blob — a full-depth cooling anomaly that defies global warming trends and could reshape European climate.
Parker Solar Probe Finds Surprise Particle Accelerator in Sun’s Corona
NASA's Parker Solar Probe detected high-energy particles deep inside the solar corona moving faster than any scientific model allowed, tracing them to merging closed magnetic loops — a particle-acceleration mechanism nobody had predicted and that rewrites decades of solar wind theory.
8 Engineering Breakthroughs Behind NASA’s New Wheel-Lifting Rover
NASA's JPL is testing ERNEST, a four-wheeled prototype rover that can lift its wheels to climb obstacles and drive nearly 10 times faster than Perseverance or Curiosity. Here are nine things its engineering reveals about the future of planetary exploration.Load More
