• The Sun’s hidden particle engines finally exposed September 3, 2025
  Solar Orbiter has identified the Sun’s dual “engines” for superfast electrons: explosive flares and sweeping coronal mass ejections. By catching over 300 events close to their origin, the mission has solved key mysteries about how these particles travel and why they sometimes appear late. The findings will improve space weather forecasts and help shield spacecraft […]
• A weirdly shaped telescope could finally find Earth 2. 0 September 3, 2025
  Spotting Earth-like planets is nearly impossible with conventional telescopes, but researchers propose a bold fix: a rectangular design that can separate a planet’s faint glow from its blinding star. This approach could uncover dozens of nearby worlds that might host life.
• The flawed carbon math that lets major polluters off the hook September 3, 2025
  Past climate assessments let big polluters delay action, placing more burden on smaller nations. A new method based on historical responsibility demands steep cuts from wealthy countries and more financial support for poorer ones. Courts are now stepping in, making climate justice not just political but also legal.
• Overworked neurons burn out and fuel Parkinson’s disease September 3, 2025
  Overactivation of dopamine neurons may directly drive their death, explaining why movement-controlling brain cells degenerate in Parkinson’s. Mice with chronically stimulated neurons showed the same selective damage seen in patients, along with molecular stress responses. Targeting this overactivity could help slow disease progression.
• Hidden viruses in our DNA could be medicine’s next big breakthrough September 3, 2025
  Scientists have decoded the 3D structure of an ancient viral protein hidden in our DNA. The HERV-K Env protein, found on cancer and autoimmune cells, has a unique shape that could unlock new diagnostics and therapies.
