New evidence supports the idea that a comet’s airburst caused the Younger Dryas climate shift and mass extinctions 12,800 years ago. The materials found suggest lower-pressure impacts, not crater-forming collisions. New evidence supports the hypothesis that a fragmented comet triggered a dramatic climate

On September 8, 2024, the first of four satellites that make up ESA’s Cluster mission will reenter Earth’s atmosphere over the South Pacific Ocean Uninhabited Area. This marks the end of the historic mission, over 24 years after it was sent into space

A study by the University of Cologne and international teams reveals that magnons in BaCO2V2O8 crystals exhibit both attractive and repulsive interactions, leading to the surprising discovery of repulsively bound magnon states. A collaborative study by the University of Cologne revealed that magnetic
