Researchers have created an improved traffic light system for predicting geomagnetic storms. They are now testing how well these algorithms can prepare us for incoming space storms that can wreak havoc by knocking out satellites in space and power grids on Earth. Researchers have created an improved traffic light system for predicting geomagnetic storms. They are…
A new study from Oregon Health & Science University has uncovered how small molecules within bacteria interact with proteins, revealing a network of molecular connections that could improve drug discovery and cancer research.

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to perform organic synthesis using reactants that poorly dissolve into common solvents.

Tornadoes remain one of the most destructive natural hazards. Accurately recording tornado occurrences has been challenging, especially in areas where confirming their occurrence is challenging due to sparse populations or dense forests. A recent news and views article, led by researchers from the China Meteorological Administration Tornado Key Laboratory, Peking University, and the Foshan Tornado…
As climate change leads to more frequent and intense extreme precipitation events, accurately predicting rainfall during the flood season has become increasingly critical.
