Future jet stream changes could ease drying across Asian drylands

Future jet stream changes could ease drying across Asian drylands Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Mid-latitude Asian drylands, stretching from Central Asia to northern China, are among the largest dryland systems in the world. Home to extensive agricultural activities and fragile ecosystems, the region is highly vulnerable to climate change and water scarcity. A thermodynamic perspective suggests that global warming will intensify dryness in arid regions, following...

Experimental Characterization of Bulk Micromegas for Development of Active Target Time Projection Chamber for Nuclear Astrophysics Studies

arXiv:2602.21238v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A Micromegas-based active target Time Projection Chamber, namely Saha Active Target TPC (SAT-TPC), is under development at Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics for its application in nuclear astrophysics experiment to measure the branching ratio of the direct and sequential decay of the Hoyle state of $^{12}$C. A bulk Micromegas was characterized to optimize its operating parameters and its performance for $\alpha$-particle tracking was...

Study reveals north–south differences in water isotopes across North America during the last deglaciation

Study reveals north–south differences in water isotopes across North America during the last deglaciation Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The last deglaciation (between 11,000 and 20,000 years ago) was a period of dramatic natural warming on Earth. During this time, North America experienced the most extensive ice-sheet melting on the planet, which profoundly reshaped its climate and water cycle. But when scientists look at oxygen isotopes in stalagmites—a key...

SWOT satellite gets clearer ocean data after fix for hidden underwater wave interference

SWOT satellite gets clearer ocean data after fix for hidden underwater wave interference Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Florida State University research published in Science Advances demonstrates a new framework for predicting the motion of kilometer-scale underwater waves that complicate satellite readings of the ocean. By accurately modeling these subsurface waves, scientists can remove their interference from NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography, or...

Satellite images reveals mangroves rebounding worldwide — but here's why they could still 'drown'

Satellite images reveals mangroves rebounding worldwide — but here's why they could still 'drown' A new study finds mangrove forests are no longer shrinking worldwide, offering hope for coastal protection and climate resilience. But other research warns sea level rise could reduce their ability to store carbon. Mangrove forests, long considered among the world's most threatened ecosystems, are now showing signs of global rebound, a new study reports.

Laser 'origami' could help astronauts build structures on the moon

Laser 'origami' could help astronauts build structures on the moon Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor University of Florida researchers are exploring how lasers could help astronauts build structures on the moon using materials already available there, including lunar soil transformed into glass. The work, led by Victoria M. Miller, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering and researcher with the UF Astraeus Space Institute, recently...

Measurement of reactor neutrino oscillation with the first JUNO data

Abstract Neutrino oscillations (see refs. 1,2 and references therein), a quantum effect manifesting at macroscopic scales, are governed by lepton flavour mixing angles and neutrino mass-squared differences3 that are fundamental parameters of particle physics, representing phenomena beyond the Standard Model. Precision measurements of these parameters are essential for testing the completeness of the three-flavour framework, determining the mass ordering of neutrinos and probing possible new...

Violent rocket particles could reshape future spacecraft design

Violent rocket particles could reshape future spacecraft design Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor When rockets fire into space, the insides of their engines become an extreme environment where temperatures soar and tiny particles are thrown around at hypersonic speeds. These particles behave in ways that break long-held assumptions, according to new research that could help improve the durability, safety and performance of future space and defense technologies. The...
