Can we predict large solar flares?
Solar storms pose risks for society, but more accurate space weather forecasts may be coming soon.
Moon and Fomalhaut in late September
These next several nights – September 28, 29 and 30 – 2020 – use the bright waxing gibbous moon to find the bright star Fomalhaut, the Autumn Star.
Are there active geysers at Enceladusâ north pole?
Water-vapor geysers erupt from cracks at the south pole of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Scientists using Cassini data now have evidence for fresh ice at the moon’s north pole, too. Could it be more geysers for this fascinating ice moon?
New knowledge about what causes thunderstorms and cloud bursts
Thunderstorms often provoke violent cloud bursts that can result in devastating flooding. But what actually spawns thunderstorms and cloud bursts? This question has spurred a new study.
Secure nano-carrier delivers medications directly to cells
Researchers have developed a stable nano-carrier for medications. A special mechanism makes sure the drugs are only released in diseased cells.

Study delivers new knowledge about what causes thunderstorms and cloud bursts
(University of Copenhagen) Thunderstorms often provoke violent cloud bursts that can result in devastating flooding. But what actually spawns thunderstorms and cloud bursts? This question has spurred a new study by researchers at the University of Copenhagen — with surprising results.
Major wind-driven ocean currents are shifting toward the poles
(Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research) The severe droughts in the USA and Australia are the first sign that the tropics, and their warm temperatures, are apparently expanding in the wake of climate change.
New brain cell-like nanodevices work together to identify mutations in viruses
Scientists have described a new nanodevice that acts almost identically to a brain cell. Furthermore, they have shown that these synthetic brain cells can be joined together to form intricate networks that can then solve problems in a brain-like manner.
