In September 2023, a major geological event in Greenland’s Dickson Fjord caught the world’s attention. A landslide caused a massive tsunami that rippled through the Earth’s crust, sending seismic waves across the globe. The unusual phenomenon was so powerful that its effects were detected thousands of miles away, from Alaska to Australia. Scientists were left scrambling to understand the nature …

Earthquakes are violent events that alter the face of the planet. In many cases, those changes occur beneath the surface and only gradually become visible over thousands of years. Occasionally, however, an earthquake’s effects aren’t just felt—they’re seen. It’s even rarer to actually capture one of those moments on camera, but according to seismologists at Japan’s Kyoto University, the footage …

Microscopes have long been scientists’ eyes into the unseen, revealing everything from bustling cells to viruses and nanoscale structures. However, even the most powerful optical microscopes have been limited by a fundamental physical rule known as the diffraction limit, which prevents them from clearly seeing anything smaller than about 200 nanometers—far too large to capture single atoms. This limitation has …

NASA has released the closest-ever photos of the sun, taken by the Parker Solar Probe at just 3.8 million miles (6.1 million kilometers) from the star’s surface. The new images reveal important features in the solar wind that will help scientists understand the origins of this mysterious space weather phenomenon and its effects on life on Earth. The solar wind …
