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. After canceling the consumer launch of its o3 reasoning model in February, the company now aims to release both o3 and a next-gen successor, o4-mini, in a couple of weeks. Additionally, OpenAI is working on GPT-5, a unified model incorporating reasoning…
A recent poll conducted by Nature found that over 1,200 scientists in the US are considering leaving the country due to the disruptions caused by the Trump administration’s policies. The changes include slashed research funding, halted federally funded science projects, and mass firings of federal employees, including scientists. Early-career researchers are particularly affected, with many…

A devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, killing at least 2,700 people and causing widespread destruction. The earthquake’s impact was amplified by the geologic setting, particularly the shallow rupture and the presence of thick, wet sediments that led to liquefaction. Experts warn that similar disasters could occur in other regions with similar…
Zach Yadegari, a 17-year-old high school student and co-founder of the viral AI calorie-tracking app Cal AI, recently revealed that he was rejected by 15 top colleges despite his impressive 4.0 GPA and 34 ACT score. Yadegari’s essay, which he posted on X, was criticized for being arrogant and not conveying a genuine desire for…
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…

This partnership highlights Safe’s market traction and its position as a critical infrastructure layer within the crypto financial landscape. With over $1 trillion in…
Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a new cement-making process that uses seawater electrolysis to produce a carbon-negative version of the building material. This process could shift cement production from being a carbon source to a carbon sink, creating a more sustainable alternative to traditional cement. The team’s experiments suggest it’s possible to tailor seawater…
