- Can we really reverse global warming after overshooting 1.5°C?
  A UN report says it’s possible to get global temperatures back down to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, but many researchers regard this scenario as highly unlikely
- The first signs of dark matter particles may finally have been spotted
  Most of the matter in the universe is dark matter, but for decades physicists haven’t been able to directly observe it – that may have just changed
- The UK just had its hottest summer ever
  The average temperature in the UK in June, July and August 2026 has eclipsed the record set in summer 2025, and the record-breaking heat was made 130 times more likely by human-caused climate change
- Mountain warming means there will be more disasters like the Nepal flood
  Mountainous regions across the planet are warming especially fast, melting the ice that glues rocky slopes and glaciers together
- Healed fang wound found on 520-million-year-old apex predator

The universe may have been building rocky planets almost from the start
Simulations suggest rocky planet building blocks could have formed just 100 million years after the Big Bang.

Dark matter hunters may have finally spotted a hint of the particles
Shadowy dark matter has eluded scientists for decades. The LZ experiment may have spotted one particle, called a WIMP, but more data is needed to check.

Migraine drugs are getting more precise. Choosing the right one is still tricky
Migraine prevention drugs are more targeted than ever before, and new guidelines may help doctors predict which will work for each patient.

These worms move faster when you give them less space
California blackworms can squeeze through narrow channels faster than they can wriggle across wide ones, a finding that may help with robot design.
