Reusable rockets that deliver sun-reflecting aerosols to the top of the stratosphere could cool the planet – with fewer negative side effects than lower-altitude solar geoengineering. But a fleet of climate-cooling rockets would come with its own downsides. The rise in global average temperatures has focused more research attention on solar geoengineering, the controversial notion of cooling the climate by reflecting sunlight away from the planet.

Life A UK biotech firm spent years gathering genetic data that has uncovered 1 million previously unknown microbial species and billions of newly identified genes – but even this trove of data may not be enough to train an AI biologist A British biotech firm called Basecamp Research has spent the past few years collecting troves of genetic data from microbes living in extreme environments around the world, identifying more than a million species and nearly ten billion genes new to science....

TeadusNew ScientistTellijaleOrkaan Foto: pexels.comOrkaani ajal keerutavad ja tormavad tugevad tuuled üle ookeani, jättes maha külma veekihi, mis võib püsida nädalaid ja nõrgendada sellele järgnevaid torme. Kuid mõnes ookeanipiirkonnas ei püsi need veed enam nii kaua jahtununa kui varem. Troopilised tsüklonid ja orkaanid ammutavad oma energia soojast ookeaniveest. Mida kõrgem on merepinna temperatuur, seda suurem on nende tormide potentsiaalne intensiivsus.

The expansive network of fiber optic cables carrying the internet is increasingly being used to measure seismic waves constantly vibrating through Earth's interior. For @newscientist this week, I explored how these fibers are changing our view underground. https://t.co/1kOwk54NF2
Over the past two decades, swathes of Eurasia have seen a spike in extreme heatwaves followed by droughts. Thanks to tree rings we now this spike is way above anything seen in at least the past 300 years. 🧪 https://t.co/aYk3IcNqHa
Microplastics are pervasive even in the deepest parts of the ocean. Researchers are concerned this could slow down the ocean's ability to sequester carbon via sinking plankton. 🧪🌊 https://t.co/zeEatu4AfG
