The Trump Administration Is Done With Social Science
In the summer of 1945, four days after Japan’s official surrender and a few weeks into the Atomic Age, President Harry Truman began floating the idea of an agency guided by “the free intelligence of the scientist” that would fund investigations into how the world works. As of 2024, the agency that Truman had envisioned, the National Science Foundation, supplied about one in every 10 federal research dollars going to U.S. universities. Its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences division...
How this cosmic map of magnetic fields could help illuminate one of the universe’s most mysterious forces
Light from nearly 4m galaxies measured as it twisted and travelled through intergalactic spaceFollow our Australia news live blog for latest updatesGet our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcastA cosmic map of magnetic fields – the largest ever produced – could help scientists delve into one of the major and most mysterious forces in the universe. A global team led by Australia’s national science agency, the CSIRO charted the magnetic fields by measuring light from nearly 4m...
Trump's gold standard science is harming US science and health
On 29 May 2026, the US White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposed a rule that directs political appointees to require adherence with “gold standard science” in the awarding of federal grants, including research grants funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation.1 This process, if finalised, would permit political appointees - officials placed in senior leadership or policy roles through a political appointment process, such as the...
UN warns world to prepare for El Nino extreme weather
UN warns world to prepare for El Nino extreme weather Andrew Zinin Lead Editor There is an 80% chance of the warming El Niño phenomenon developing between June and August, increasing the risk of extreme weather events, the World Meteorological Organization said Tuesday. "Fuelled by unusually warm ocean waters in the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions are developing and are set to influence global temperature and rainfall patterns," the United Nations' WMO weather and climate agency said....
The Coverage Gap: Chile's Cyber Disclosure Framework versus the USA, EU and UK
Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce the Coverage Gap as a measurable distance between the observable public exposure of critical-infrastructure operators and their declared capability to coordinate vulnerability disclosure. We instantiate it against the 915 Chilean Operadores de Importancia Vital (OIVs -- Operators of Vital Importance) designated by the National Cybersecurity Agency (ANCI) under Ley 21.663 (Resolucion Exenta No. 87, 16 December 2025). Using a passive-only, OSINT-based...
UN tells world to brace for extreme weather as El Nino looms
UN tells world to brace for extreme weather as El Nino looms Potential impacts, including drought, heatwaves and hurricanes, could ‘hit even harder’ this year, UN chief warns. The United Nations’ climate agency has warned of an increased risk of extreme weather in the coming weeks and months due to the emerging El Nino weather pattern. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) issued the alert in a news release on Tuesday, saying that there was an 80 percent chance of an El Nino event –...

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...
Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise
Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise Scientists have completed the first full brain-to-body wiring map of a fruit fly, revealing that behavior may be driven more by local neural teamwork than by a central brain command center. - Date: - June 10, 2026 - Source: - Harvard Medical School - Summary: - A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an unprecedented view of how the brain...
Europe pours money into ocean research as Trump guts science funding
PARIS — The European Union wants to plug a gaping hole in ocean research left behind by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. The trouble is, it has a lot less cash to splash. Last week, the European Commission launched the “OceanEye” program, which aims to make the EU “a global leader in ocean intelligence” by investing in critical ocean observation technologies and data collection on how oceans evolve. It came two weeks after the...
