The Anthropocene became part of the zeitgeist after Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen launched the idea in 2000. This is the notion that a crescendo of human impacts has recently propelled Earth out of the relatively stable climatic conditions of the Holocene epoch, during which human civilization developed and flourished, to produce a new kind of planet.

Researchers at King's College London have developed a new mathematical framework to test whether AI systems that appear to explain their decisions are genuinely transparent.

Canada's last epishelf lake drained into the Arctic Ocean following the 2020 breakup of the Milne Ice Shelf and will not recover, a new study confirms.

Beyond Blue has launched "The Future We Choose: Mental health support in Australia through the next decade of change," a new strategic foresight report by Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, exploring how mental health in Australia may evolve over the next decade and the choices that could help shape a stronger, more connected and resilient future.

For the first time, astronomers have pointed NASA’s two flagship space telescopes at the same patch of sky beyond Neptune and let them work as a team. Hubble handled the visible light. Webb handled the infrared. Together, they picked out 27 previously unknown trans-Neptunian objects, or TNOs — small, icy bodies that drift in the […]

Indonesia's Mount Anak Krakatau has erupted again this week, sending plumes of volcanic ash high into the sky and disrupting hundreds of flights. More than 300,000 passengers have been affected.

As countries compete for skilled workers and grapple with aging populations and labor shortages, understanding who is moving across borders is increasingly important. A new study provides the first global data set of immigration composition disaggregated simultaneously by age, sex and educational attainment, offering a new basis for tracking brain gain and brain drain and improving population projections.

New research challenges the idea that career shocks are bad news for expatriate workers, finding that major personal, professional or societal disruptions can instead act as a catalyst for adaptation and resilience.

Quantum error correction must detect and correct errors without directly reading the quantum information. Classical low-density parity check (LDPC) codes have a well-established design theory: by choosing how many checks connect to each bit, retaining appropriate randomness, and avoiding short loops, designers can pursue both a large minimum distance and a threshold phenomenon in which the decoding failure rate drops sharply below a predicted noise level.

Wealth redistribution policies currently under discussion in international forums could avert between 6.6 million and 29.5 million deaths by 2030, according to a study published in The Lancet and led by ISGlobal in collaboration with other leading economic and health research institutions.

De plus en plus de pays africains sont lancés dans la course à l'espace. Egypte, Nigeria, Afrique du Sud, Côte d'ivoire, Kenya, et aujourd'hui le Sénégal. Farouchement attaché à sa "souveraineté", le pays veut produire localement ses satellites. Une gageure dans un secteur dominé par des entreprises non africaines.

Some people seem naturally tidy. Their keys are always in the same place, clothes make it into the closet, and their kitchen counter remains mysteriously visible.

A new study shows that some U.S. police officers often use the term "bad guys" to describe people who commit crimes, especially when faced with ambiguity in their work. It is a label officers may use to reduce complex and morally challenging situations and contexts into a clearer, more legible framework.
