Printed on 03/04/2026 – 10:00 GMT+2 Plans to build what would become Europe’s largest solar farm have been thrown into doubt after “months of analysis”. ADVERTISING ADVERTISING The case for renewables looks stronger than ever, as the war in Iran continues to send oil and gas prices soaring. The latest analysis shows that the sun, … Read more
Study finds risk of addiction strongly linked to behavioral genes. Addiction has long been linked to the substances people use, but new research suggests the bigger story may lie in how the brain controls behavior itself. A large study led by Rutgers researchers analyzed genetic information from more than 2.2 million people and found that … Read more
In 2021, psychologist and author Kathryn Paige Harden co-authored a paper detailing her research on genes associated with a greater risk of developing substance abuse problems or engaging in risky behavior, such as having unprotected sex or committing crime. The paper was about the genetics of “traits associated with self-control and addiction”, but Harden thought … Read more

Ice columns are among the most fascinating objects in our solar system, and Uranus has just topped the list. The 2022 Annual Survey from National Schools has identified this as a key priority area for future study. However, despite strong approval, there is no advanced mission suitable for the launch opportunities expected in the 2030s. … Read more
At the surface of the planet, sea ice across Arctic waters grows and shrinks seasonally, usually reaching its annual maximum in March. In 2026, this peak occurred on March 15, when the measurement reached 14.29 million square kilometers, which is the lowest level observed since satellite monitoring began in 1979. One of the important areas … Read more
A large-scale genetic analysis reveals that genetic factors that cause autism risk are similar in people of different ancestral backgrounds. By examining the DNA of thousands of people in Latin America, researchers have shown that rare genetic mutations associated with autism occur in the same genes across different populations. The results, published in the journal … Read more
ORLANDO, Florida – NASA’s Artemis II mission continues April 2nd wrapped theirs first day in space by testing the cameras they will use to capture spectacular images of the Earth as it slowly descends beneath them, hours before it leaves the Moon’s orbit. “It’s like going back home, you’re trying to take a picture of … Read more
You can expect an abundance of flora and fauna in tropical rainforests, colorful coral reefs or dense jungles. But many of these habitats are in a unique position to promote and maintain biodiversity, such as having a specific climate or water source, which helps support complex food chains. Not all sites have this, some are … Read more
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful new genetic tool that allows scientists to study how genes work at the level of individual cells, an advance that could accelerate discoveries in development, neuroscience and disease. The system is based on MAGIC (Mosaic Analysis by gRNA-Induced Crossing-over), a method pioneered by the laboratories of Chun … Read more
