March 3 Total Lunar Eclipse Will Be The Last Until 2028

A total lunar eclipse will create a stunning “Blood Moon” on March 3 (Credit: Jacek Rużyczka/ CC BY-SA 4.0/ Wikimedia Commons) Skywatchers are in for a treat. On March 3, 2026, a spectacular total lunar eclipse will turn the Moon a deep reddish color, creating what is known as a “Blood Moon.” The eclipse will

The Most Elusive Color in Chemistry Might Surprise You

Seeing a color in nature is one thing. Recreating colors artificially is an entirely different challenge—one with some unexpectedly high stakes. Practically anything human-made is of a certain color thanks to artificial pigments, or chemical compounds that appear a specific color. An ongoing challenge is that, as chemical bonds naturally fade, so does the color.

Why you can’t tie knots in four dimensions

We all know we live in three-dimensional space. But what does it mean when people talk about four dimensions? Is it just a bigger kind of space? Is it “space-time”, the popular idea which emerged from Einstein’s theory of relativity? If you have wondered what four dimensions really look like, you may have come across

“We’ve Seen Them; We Know They Exist”: Scientists Confirm Elusive Electrical Phenomenon That Evaded Scientists for a Century

Scientists report the first confirmed field observation of a rare class of electrical phenomena associated with vegetation that has eluded scientific confirmation for nearly a century. For many decades, observers have logged reports of unusual glows emitted by vegetation, with a leading theory of their cause being faint electrical discharges triggered by atmospheric activity associated

Space Lasers Reveal Sea Levels Rising at Alarming Speed

Recent advancements in climate research have shed light on a crucial element of global sea-level rise: the mass of water added to the oceans, primarily from melting land ice. A new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, highlights how space-based technologies, including satellite laser ranging (SLR), are now being used

Scientists Just Unearthed Proof of a Massive Meteor Impact in Brazil from 6.3 Million Years Ago

For millions of years, Earth’s history has been shaped by cosmic impacts, yet one ancient collision in Brazil remained hidden, until now. A recent study published in Geology has uncovered evidence of a meteorite strike that occurred 6.3 million years ago. Led by Álvaro Penteado Crósta, the discovery reveals a new field of tektites, expanding

Reply to: Limitations of probing field-induced response with STM

replying to: C. Candelora & I. Zeljkovic Nature https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10126-1 (2026). In our paper1, we demonstrate that the relative intensities of charge-density-wave (CDW) peaks in the Fourier transform of STM topographies of RbV3Sb5 can be controlled by an electric field induced by laser light. Moreover, we show that this change in the intensities is accompanied by

Mysterious Chinese Space Plane Conducting Unknown Mission in Orbit

The United States Space Force has been testing its top-secret Boeing X-37B space plane for over a decade. Two versions of the unusual spacecraft have completed seven orbital missions over the last 15 years, spending a combined thousands of days in space. Despite its extensive experience of being launched atop a rocket and slowing its

A new space race could turn our atmosphere into a ‘crematorium for satellites’

When we look up at the night sky and see a satellite glide past, we might not consider climate change or the ozone layer. Space may feel separate from the environmental systems that sustain life on Earth. But increasingly, the way we build, launch and dispose of satellites is starting to change that. Over the
