The US government’s recent cancellation of thousands of federal research grants has left scientists in a state of uncertainty. Soft-money faculty members, who rely on grants for their salaries, are particularly vulnerable to funding cuts. With many researchers anticipating having to leave academia, the projects they lead will disappear along with them, threatening the advancement…
The XRP price has fallen due to market uncertainty following Donald Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs. This has led to a general sell-off in digital assets, making the $2 price level an important support area for XRP traders and investors. However, cloud mining services like PaladinMining are offering a safe haven for investors to earn…
The impending loss of NASA’s Aura and the Canadian Space Agency’s SCISAT satellites threatens scientists’ ability to closely monitor compounds that destroy ozone and alter stratospheric circulation. This loss of vigilance will hinder researchers’ understanding of the ozone layer’s recovery and potential impacts from wildfires and stratospheric aerosol injections. Forecast for 6 months: Within the…
OpenAI, the leading AI research organization, has announced a significant change in its plans.

Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a new technique to reduce the risk of blood clots associated with medical implants. The technique involves coating the implants with highly hydrophilic molecules called zwitterions, which inhibit the build-up of clot-triggering proteins. This breakthrough has the potential to make medical implants safer for patients and reduce…
A major Arctic-science conference in Boulder, Colorado, was disrupted by tensions between the US and Greenland over President Trump’s comments on taking over the island. The conference, which was meant to showcase research on Greenland’s melting ice sheet, was marred by a show of solidarity from scientists and a withdrawal of a session on research…
