Hubble Telescope Finds Unexpectedly Hot Accretion Disk in FU Orionis
Hubble Space Telescope’s recent observations of FU Orionis have revealed surprising new details about the star’s accretion disk. The study found that the disk’s inner edge reaches temperatures as high as 16,000K, nearly three times hotter than the Sun’s surface. This discovery challenges existing models of stellar accretion, which had predi...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...

Is it Safe to Use a Fan in Extreme Heat? Conflicting Guidelines from Experts
With extreme heat on the rise, experts disagree on safe temperature limits for fan use. The CDC advises against using fans over 32.2°C, citing risks in high temperatures. However, WHO sets the threshold at 40°C. Recent studies suggest humidity plays a key role in determining fan effectiveness, with fans aiding cooling in moist conditions. This ha...

Future Supercontinent Pangea Ultima Could Trigger Mass Extinction, Reveals New Study
A University of Bristol study warns that Earth’s future supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and mammals. Due to a combination of rising CO₂ levels, increased solar radiation, and vast land area far from oceanic cooling, the supercontinent could experience widespread extreme temperatures. Though millions o...

Satellite Data Confirms Climate Crisis as Sea Level and Global Temperature Rises
Satellites are providing critical evidence for the climate crisis. With the highest global temperatures recorded in 2024 and sea levels rising consistently for 30 years, satellite data points to a clear climate crisis. This data helps scientists track environmental changes, making it crucial for informing policymakers and guiding global responses t...

Superconductors at Room-Temperature Possible If Electron Pairing Can Be Decoded, Claims Study
Physicists have recently observed an unexpected phenomenon in a superconducting material, potentially pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this field. The discovery centres on a material typically known as an electrical insulator. In this insulator, researchers found that electrons could pair up at temperatures as high as minus 123 degrees ...

Great Barrier Reef Faces Hottest Ocean Temperatures in 400 Years, Threatening Coral Survival
The Great Barrier Reef, one of Earth's most significant natural treasures, is currently experiencing its hottest sea surface temperatures in four centuries. According to a study published in Nature, the first quarter of 2024 recorded a temperature rise of 0.19°C above the previous peak. This extreme warming is directly linked to extensive coral bl...
