Modest gamma-ray flash followed by dazzling afterglow points to powerful stellar jet viewed off-axis
A cosmic explosion that announced itself with a modest flash of gamma rays went on to produce one of the brightest afterglows astronomers have recorded in the past 20 years. An international team of astronomers now finds evidence…

Underpreparing for severe climate risks can cost the UK far more than overpreparing, experts warnExperts in climate, nature, health, national security, and financial risk have joined forces to call for a more integrated approach to government climate and nature risk assessments. In a commentary published in Nature Climate…Brighter evenings, darker school mornings: Permanent daylight saving time could put children's safety at riskIn July 2026, the U.S. House passed legislation to make daylight saving time (DST) permanent. But a new analysis of the consequences of the Sunshine Protection Act, reported in the journal Current Biology on Oct. 29, finds that…What makes forest protection work?A new study from the Institute for Food and Resource Economics at the University of Bonn shows that the success of nature conservation measures depends partly on the credible enforcement of environmental laws.Theoretical method uses light to locate anyons, potential quantum computing building blocksTheoretical physicists at Emory University have discovered a way to use light to detect the "spectral fingerprints" of anyons—exotic quasiparticles that emerge from the collective behavior of many electrons. Their findings are…New fossil scans challenge insect flight timeline, suggesting origins up to 80 million years laterA tiny fossil discovered exactly a century ago has caused an enormous change in our understanding of when flying insects first appeared on Earth.New mathematical method improves calculations for systems limited by their smallest inputA harmonic increment provides a new way to improve smooth approximations of the minimum function.
