NASA release: first images of August 12 total solar eclipse over Spain reveal corona and prominences
NASA scientists released images from the Aug. 12 total solar eclipse observed over northern Spain, showing the Sun's corona, a pink prominence and Baily's Beads; the event coincides with a new moon ahead of the Perseid meteor shower.
Researchers Use Starlink Constellation to Map Upper Atmospheric Density
Scientists reconstructed density variations near 500 km altitude using data from about 1,200 Starlink satellites, improving orbital tracking and collision awareness.
Genetic basis identified for suicidal mating in male redback spiders
A crossbreeding study in Latrodectus species reveals X-linked inheritance for the somersaulting 'backflip' and a more complex genetic basis for abdominal constriction during mating.
Hidden switch in silver nanocatalysts may improve clean power and hydrogen efficiency
Researchers found that silver nanocatalysts change where they catalyze reactions depending on whether a solid oxide cell makes electricity or hydrogen, offering pathways for more efficient green hydrogen and cleaner power.
Researchers identify operational ‘switch’ in silver nanocatalysts that alters reaction sites
Discovery shows silver nanocatalysts change where reactions occur depending on whether a solid oxide cell generates electricity or hydrogen, opening paths for efficiency gains.
Sahel Greening: Rising Groundwater and Stronger Monsoon Revive Lakes and Farms
Increased monsoon intensity, reduced aerosol cooling and local water-harvesting efforts have raised water tables across the Sahel, aiding Lake Chad recovery and agriculture.
