Turning CO₂ from urban waste into useful consumer products
EU researchers are turning carbon emissions from urban waste into everyday household products—from cleaning liquids to leather. Europe's cities emit huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Two essential urban services—waste incineration and wastewater treatment—are among the biggest contributors to municipal CO2 emissions in the EU.

Atlantic current shows two-decade decline across four deep-ocean monitoring sites
A paper published in the journal Science Advances is adding to the growing body of research showing that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening. In this new study, instead of relying mainly on computer models, scientists used two decades of direct ocean measurements to confirm the decline.

Tropical forests generate rainfall worth billions, study finds
Tropical forests help to generate vast amounts of rainfall each year, adding weight to arguments for protecting them as water and climate pressures increase, say researchers. A new study led by the University of Leeds has put a monetary value on one of forests' least recognized services as a source of rainfall to surrounding regions, finding that each hectare generates 2.4 million liters of rain each year—enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Armed with £2.5 Billion,
The "UK Atomic Energy Authority"
( #UKAEA ) isn't promising a working commercial fusion reactor by 2030,
though it does want key development milestones in place that will build toward one.
The bulk of that funding will flow into
🔸the "Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production" (

UK Atomic Energy Authority strategy 2026 to 2030
The strategy sets out how UKAEA will deliver foundational research, technology and innovation to support the UK fusion sector through world-leading expertise.

"The center, founded in 1960, is responsible for many of the biggest scientific advances in understanding of weather and climate. Its research aircraft and sophisticated computer models of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans are widely used in forecasting weather events and disasters."

A heavier version of the proton, has been discovered by a team at the nuclear research laboratory CERN
It was found using the newly upgraded Large Hadron Collider (LHC) as part of its latest “beauty” experiment, known as LHCb.
Scientists spotted the particle amid a spray of debris created by colliding particles at the facility near Geneva, Switzerland.
The particle has been called
Xi-cc-plus,
(written as Ξcc⁺),
and is four times as heavy as a normal prot…
