UN chief says fossil fuels are "incompatible with human survival" as world breaks temperature records
"We are hurtling towards disaster, eyes wide open, with far too many willing it all on wishful thinking"
Scientists confirm Saturn's sixth-largest moon has all the right ingredients for life
New scientific modeling on old data discovered Phosphorous, the final missing piece
Astronomers found a relatively close white dwarf crystalizing into a giant diamond
Discovery offers a glimpse of the ultimate fate of the universe
NASA's Parker Solar Probe discovers the origin of fast solar wind
The "heroic piece of thermal engineering" keeps "touching" the Sun to get new data
New tool claims it can identify AI-written science papers 99% of the time
Why it matters: AI-based plagiarism is becoming an increasingly annoying and dangerous phenomenon, especially for genuine science research publications. Many people (and researchers) are trying to develop a practical solution against this kind of troublesome pettiness, and a new approach seems to work particularly well for a specific kind of scientific papers.

Making progress on the dream of harvesting solar energy closer to its original source
To survive on the Moon or Mars, humans will need photoelectrochemical devices
The life support system on the ISS will not work for long-term space exploration
Mycorrhizal fungi help a third of all fossil fuel emissions get absorbed into soil
Why it matters: The mycelial underground network of mycorrhizal fungi helps store a huge amount of carbon dioxide in the soil. So much, in fact, that scientists are studying a way to exploit the fungi's capabilities to mitigate environmental issues brought by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Large Hadron Collider's experiments detect the first evidence of Higgs boson decay
Why it matters: Since discovering the Higgs boson in 2012, scientists have thoroughly studied the strange particle looking for new clues about the true nature of matter and the universe. Now, CERN researchers say they have observed exciting and vital behavior with the particle's decay that extends beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.
