Explainer: The CMIP7 emissions scenarios – and how they explore future climate change
Every six to seven years, climate modelling groups around the world run a coordinated set of simulations that…
Mars’s interior was long modelled as broadly symmetrical — but a Nature study published on 27 August found evidence that the mantle beneath its southern highlands remains 200 to 400°C hotter than the north and may be partially molten, an enormous thermal divide whose origin remains unexplained.
Mars looks divided before anyone tries to see beneath its surface. The north is dominated by broad lowlands.…
About 90,000 people crossed London’s new Millennium Bridge on the day it opened in June 2000, with as many as 2,000 on the deck at once, and it swayed so badly it closed days later; subsequent work found that as few as 160 pedestrians could trigger the instability, and the fix was a system of dampers installed on the bridge.
The story most people carry about the “wobbly bridge” is that crowds marching in step shook it, or…
Clear-cut logging is making floods worse. But it’s not just about how many trees are cut
The 2021 floods in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley caused upwards of $14 billion in damages. Since then, communities…

Chinese-German team builds ultra-sensitive ‘floating compass’ to hunt dark matter
Chinese researchers have developed a table-top magnetic sensor that operates at room temperature and can spot magnetic signals…
Astronomers already knew the Milky Way’s magnetic field reverses near the Sagittarius Arm, but a new 2026 three-dimensional model revealed the boundary’s unexpected shape: not a vertical wall between spiral arms, but a tilted magnetic plane slicing diagonally through the Galactic disc and passing just above our own region of space.
The Milky Way has a magnetic field, but no camera can step outside the Galaxy and photograph its…
