earth’s-most-powerful-ocean-current-didn’t-form-the-way-we-thought

A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows it didn’t form just because ocean gateways opened, but required shifting continents and powerful winds to align. This shift helped pull carbonContinue Reading

drought-parches-florida

Shallow groundwater aquifers are driest in northern and central Florida in this map based on observations acquired on March 30, 2026, by the GRACE-FO (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On) satellites. NASA Earth Observatory/Lauren Dauphin Florida is among the wettest U.S. states, but that doesn’t mean it is drought-free. NearlyContinue Reading

The Traitor following their historic lunar flyby during Flight Day 6.Continue Reading

helping-data-centers-deliver-higher-performance-with-less-hardware

To improve data center efficiency, multiple storage devices are often pooled together over a network so many applications can share them. But even with pooling, significant device capacity remains underutilized due to performance variability across the devices. MIT researchers have now developed a system that boosts the performance of storageContinue Reading

3-questions:-how-ai-could-optimize-the-power-grid

Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its  rapidly growing energy demands , and particularly the surging  electricity usage of data centers that enable the training and deployment of the latest generative AI models. But it’s not all bad news — some AI tools have the potential to reduce someContinue Reading

A waxing gibbous Moon is pictured above Earth’s atmosphere from the International Space Station as it soared 268 miles above far eastern Canada. NASA/Chris Williams The Expedition 74 crew continues preparing for the next U.S. cargo mission due to visit the International Space Station. The orbital residents also serviced spacesuits,Continue Reading

how-forests-start-to-fail,-one-leaf-at-a-time

In a Swiss forest lab, scientists tracked how beech and oak leaves cool themselves and pinpointed the moment heat and drought push them past their limits. By Bob Berwyn In spring and summer, the canopies of oak and beech forest gather into layers of green. Leaves flicker, shaping the flowContinue Reading

NASA’s Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 mission, or Northrop Grumman CRS-24, will deliver approximately 11,000 pounds of science and supplies to the International Space Station. This mission will be the second flight of the Cygnus XL, the larger, more cargo-capable version of the company’s solar-powered spacecraft.  The Cygnus XL will launch onContinue Reading

saturn’s-magnetic-field-is-twisted-and-scientists-just-figured-out-why

Saturn’s magnetic field isn’t the smooth, symmetrical shield scientists see around Earth. Instead, it’s noticeably skewed, and researchers now think they understand why. By analyzing years of data from the Cassini spacecraft, scientists found that a key region where solar particles enter Saturn’s atmosphere is consistently shifted to one side.Continue Reading
