New Superconductors Work at Higher Temperatures, No Pressure Needed
Scientists at Sustech have identified nickelate superconductors capable of conducting electricity without resistance at 45K under normal atmospheric pressure. Their findings could drive advances in superconductivity research, with potential applications in medical imaging and energy efficiency. The study strengthens global efforts to understand unc...

January 2025 Warmest On Record Globally: European Climate Agency
January 2025 was the warmest on record globally, with the average surface temperature 0.79 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2000 January average, the EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported on Thursday.

Extreme Arctic Warming Sees North Pole Temperatures Rise Above Freezing
A sharp rise in Arctic temperatures saw the North Pole exceed freezing, with readings 20 degree Celsius above normal. Scientists warn of accelerating ice loss and climate change impacts. The event, attributed to a weather system near Iceland, has raised concerns about Arctic amplification, which causes the region to warm nearly four times faster th...

Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

Climate-Driven Changes Reduce Agricultural Productivity in Central Europe, Claims New Study
Climate change has significantly impacted Central Europe's farmland, with over 50 percent of highly productive agricultural land already affected. A study combining historical data and climate projections highlights that rising temperatures and dry conditions have shifted fertile zones northward and westward. Regions like Slovakia, Austria and the ...

2024 Marks Earth's Hottest Year Ever, Surpassing Critical 1.5 degree Celsius Warming Limit
In 2024, Earth recorded its hottest year ever, surpassing the critical 1.5 degree Celsius warming threshold for the first time in history. This significant temperature increase has been linked to intensified weather events, rising sea levels, and widespread environmental damage. The year saw an alarming rise in climate-related disasters, with the U...

2024, Hottest Year Ever, Sees World Breach 1.5C Global Warming Target
Scientists sounded the alarm long before last year ended that 2024 would become the hottest year on record and almost certainly the first to surpass the 1.5C limit.

Gold-Sulfur Complex Found to Play Crucial Role in Gold Deposit Formation
An international team of scientists, led by Adam Simon, has uncovered the role of a gold-trisulfur complex in gold deposit formation. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how this complex forms in the Earth's mantle under specific pressure and temperature conditions, especially in subduction zones ...

Denmark Strait Cataract: World's Largest Underwater Waterfall Discovered
The Denmark Strait cataract, the world’s largest underwater waterfall, is located between Iceland and Greenland. Plunging 11,500 feet from top to bottom, it plays a key role in the global ocean circulation system. The waterfall forms part of the thermohaline circulation, which helps regulate the Earth's climate. Despite its immense size, it remai...

2025 'Likely' To Be Among Top Three Warmest Years: UK Met Office
The UK weather service forecast Thursday that 2025 would likely be among the top three warmest years globally, falling just behind the record-breaking temperatures set in the past months.

Researchers Points out Rapid Surge in Global Temperature Could be Due to Reduced Planetary Albedo
In a study by the Alfred Wegener Institute, scientists identified a sharp drop in planetary albedo as a primary factor in the 2023 temperature rise. This decline, particularly in low-altitude clouds, has been linked to a 0.23°C increase in global mean temperature. The study highlights that global warming itself may be reducing cloud cover, suggest...

Delhi Weather: November Warmest In 5 years, Temperature Dip Likely Next Week
Continuing the trend of warmer-than-usual months, November this year emerged as the warmest in the last five years, with the highest day and night temperatures.

China Is Reportedly Trying to Protect Its Potatoes From Rising Temperatures and Climate Change Impact
In China, a major potato-producing nation, researchers are racing to develop heat-resistant potato varieties as global warming threatens crop yields. A study led by the International Potato Center (CIP) in Beijing indicates that higher temperatures, predicted by the end of the century, could accelerate tuber growth but lead to reduced harvests.
