NASA Scientists Predict When Earth May Become Uninhabitable — What’s Being Planned
NASA scientists project Earth will become uninhabitable in about 1 billion years due to the Sun's increasing brightness. While that future is distant, the research underscores today’s climate challenges and the need to explore space and protect our planet. This article breaks down the science, what NASA is planning, and how we can act now to secure humanity's future.
Solar Power Breakthrough: Kesterite Hits 13.2% Efficiency, Surpassing Silicon And Perovskite
Kesterite solar cells just hit a record 13.2% efficiency, giving silicon and perovskite a run for their money. Developed by UNSW researchers using hydrogen annealing, this low-cost, eco-friendly material could redefine the future of solar power. Ideal for off-grid use, rural applications, and tandem panels, kesterite brings sustainability, affordability, and solid performance to the table. Learn why this solar underdog is suddenly in the spotlight.
China Builds World’s First Ocean Microscope LICOMK++: How It Can Revolutionize Climate Research?
China's LICOMK++ ocean modeling system is making waves in climate science. With 1-kilometer resolution, this first-of-its-kind "ocean microscope" simulates ocean behavior in stunning detail, offering sharper forecasts for storms, marine heatwaves, and global climate shifts. Developed amid tech sanctions, it showcases China's innovation and bolsters global efforts in climate prediction, resilience, and sustainability. LICOMK++ might just be the sharpest eye we’ve ever had on Earth’s oceans.
