In Venusian Skies

Venus’s clouds, rich in sulphuric acid and iron minerals, significantly influence its atmosphere and weather patterns.

Changing Matter

The composition of tiny airborne particles, called particulate matter, causes various changes in lung cells, impacting both their behaviour at a molecular level and their appearance.

Driven by Drought

Research on Africa from 1992-2013 shows droughts influence human migration towards water sources or cities, driven by environmental, political, and socio-economic factors.

Musical Measurements of the Spheres

Astronomers have used asteroseismology, the analysis of star vibrations, to precisely determine the distances of stars from Earth.

Footprints on the Moon

Humans, having made a significant impact on Earth, now mark the Moon, potentially starting a new era, the ‘Lunar Anthropocene’.

Twilight Galaxies

Discoveries of distant infrared galaxies challenge our understanding of the universe’s formation and evolution.

Sulphuric Shadows

Particulate matter pollution from coal power plants, has resulted in approximately 460,000 deaths in the United States over the past two decades.

The Bee’s Vapid Poison

Bees cannot detect common lethal pesticides in nectar, risking inadvertent consumption and population decline.

Dissolving Depths

Increased carbon emissions are acidifying oceans, weakening the shells of plankton and marine life, threatening ecosystems.

The Butterfly’s Gaze

Scientists have created a camera inspired by butterfly vision that detects ultraviolet light with 99% accuracy, enhancing diagnostics for cancer detection.
