So last week was the annual release of the temperature records from NASA, NOAA and Berkeley Earth. The Copernicus ERA5 data was released a few days ago, and the HadCRUT data will follow soon. Unlike in years past, there is no longer any serious discrepancy between the records – which use multiple approaches for the ocean temperatures, the homogenization of the weather stations records, and interpolation.

As environmental law becomes more concerned with the equity of policy outcomes, income-targeted policy elements are becoming more and more common. This should be a good thing: income is closely correlated with pollution exposure, so income targeting can also ensure that programs reach the people who suffer the most from environmental degradation. (The same considerations apply to race and racial inequality , but environmental policies have not taken up racial disparities to the same degree.).

A new nanomechanical resonator inspired by the structure of a spider’s web could be used in quantum sensors to sense ultra-small forces such as gravity. The resonator, which was designed using machine learning, works at room temperature – a first for a device of this kind. Nanomechanical resonators are tiny vibrating beams that oscillate at very high resonant frequencies – often in the megahertz or gigahertz range.

For the first time, astronomers have captured the death of a red supergiant star in real time: revealing a dramatic surge in brightness in the months preceding its final explosion. For researchers of the Young Supernova Experiment , led by Wynn Jacobson-Galán at the University of California, Berkeley, the event was far more violent than would be expected from previous observations.

By Aman Azhar A task force appointed by Florida Gov.

The energized state of living matter leads to the dynamic behaviour of billions of interacting nanometre-sized biomolecules. The spatial–temporal patterns resulting from this collective behaviour gives rise to cellular functionalities that manifest at the micrometre scale. Advances in imaging technology allow us to capture pattern-forming biomolecular dynamics, using fluorescent probes to achieve mind-blowing spatial and temporal resolution.

Sometimes the most exciting discoveries are completely unexpected. That’s what happened when a team of researchers stumbled across a massive colony of nesting icefish in the Antarctic. In February 2021, a German research vessel went on an expedition in the Weddell Sea to study ocean currents in the Antarctic. They were conducting a survey of the seafloor with a high-resolution camera when they spotted the first nests.

Industrial manufacturing is subject to stringent testing protocols aimed at guaranteeing the quality of the final product. In some circumstances, though, these methods are not sensitive enough to detect flaws, leading to incorrect determinations of quality. Researchers at the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica ( INRiM ) in Torino, Italy have now shown that alternatives based on quantum entanglement can produce more accurate assessments of “good” and “failed” products.

In December last year, we received a letter from the UK’s Astronomer Royal , Martin Rees , saying that he was not concerned about the risk of astronomical bodies colliding with Earth, because “the rate of impacts is calculable, small and not increasing” (January p27). At first glance, I might therefore have dismissed the Netflix film Don’t Look Up , released in late December, which is about a comet on course to hit us, as just another sensationalist disaster movie.
