Chan reported in pril 2025 that one billion years ago, a meteorite struck northwest Scotland, hitting the region 200 million years later than previously thought. The impact aligns with some of the earliest known land-based microbial fossils and reveals how meteorite strikes may have influenced Earth's environment and the development of life.

Ben Turner reported in early June 2025 that the mysterious dark streaks flowing across Mars's surface may not be the result of running water after all, a new artificial intelligence (AI) analysis suggests. The streaks, first observed running along Mars's cliffsides and crater walls by NASA's Viking mission in 1976, were long thought by scientists to have formed as a result of the flow of ancient water across the now mostly desiccated planet's surface.
Amazouz reported in April 2025 that Mercury, the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system, may be home to a dazzling secret hidden beneath its scorched surface—a diamond layer up to 11 miles thick.

Ohenhen and 13 co-authors reported in May 2025 that land subsidence is a slow-moving hazard with adverse environmental and socioeconomic consequences worldwide. While often considered solely a coastal hazard due to relative sea-level rise, subsidence also threatens inland urban areas, causing increased food risks, structural damage and transportation disruptions.
However, spatially dense subsidence rates that capture granular variations at high spatial density are often lacking, hindering assessment of associated infrastructure risks. Here th...
The Voyager Group also reported on Voyage 1 data. It's been 49 years. That’s how long Voyager 1 has been drifting silently through the cosmos, far beyond the edge of our solar system. It’s the most distant human-made object in existence, still sending data from over 14 billion miles away.
A lonely relic of the space age, powered by decaying plutonium and hope. But then… something happened. Out of nowhere, Voyager 1 changed its course — without receiving any command. Just days earlier, it had begun sending strange, rhythmic signals…...

The Phenomena Group just reported on odd messages from deep space. In the cold, silent edges of our solar system, far beyond the last gasps of the Sun’s influence, an ancient spacecraft — launched in 1977 — is still whispering back to Earth. It’s Voyager 2.
For decades, it has explored worlds no human has touched, transmitted data no instrument had ever recorded before, and sent us images that reshaped our view of the cosmos.
But recently, Voyager 2 did something no one expected. It sent a signal — strange, fragmented, and buried in...

Shannak and two co-authors reported in early 2025 on the results of their assessment of the global uranium market, and they assessed whether future supply can meet growing demand through 2050, focusing on market and geopolitical drivers. A dual approach was used, combining econometric analysis and uranium supply curve modeling.
The econometric analysis examines the long-term relationship between prices and production volumes, using multiple methods to ensure robustness.
Supply curve modeling shows how uranium availability changes with price...

Ramos reported in mid-May 2025 that as wind turbines and solar panels spread through farmland in Central Texas, Robert Fleming has made it his calling to stop them. Four years ago, the 61-year-old convinced a school board in Troy not to approve a tax incentive for a renewable energy company.
When Bell County commissioners considered a similar tax break a year later, he showed up to the commissioners co...
