The ‘doomsday’ glacier’s giant ice shelf is about to break away
The floating ice shelf of world’s widest glacier ― Thwaites glacier in Antarctica ― is detaching, with worrying implications for global sea-level rise

Dass die CO2-Emissionen nicht mehr so stark ansteigen wie 2011 im 'worst-case' Szenario (RCP8.5) angenommen, ist mindestens teilweise Erfolg der Klimapolitik. Es ist ein wichtiger Schritt in die richtige Richtung, aber keineswegs Grund zur Entwarnung.

✨What you see is a pair of colliding galaxies known as UGC 4211, which allowed scientists to detect two rapidly growing black holes separated by a mere 750 light-years.

Literally devastating news
And almost certainly even worse because the models don't include the effects of huge volumes of Greenland meltwater pouring into the North Atlantic at a rate of 30 million tonnes AN HOUR

Soon
LIGO & @ego_virgo will resume observing on 11 June joined by @KAGRA_PR! All four #GravitationalWave detectors will observe at the same time
Our observing run (O4) has been extended until 18 November 2025. We look forward to many discoveries

New observations from the Very Large Telescope in Chile may have caught a Jupiter-like planet at its moment of birth around another star.
The universe just keeps on building more cool things.

I just published an explainer on aerosols and their role in the climate that I've been working on for the past few months! It includes both how aerosols work, how emissions have changed, and how thats driven recent warming (link below).

Another fusion world record was set with help from PPPL — this time in the German fusion system Wendelstein 7-X. The Lab, an @ENERGY national lab managed by @Princeton, played a key role in the experiment, developing a diagnostic and control system. ➡️ bit.ly/4dCglW2

Fusion powers the sun and could one day make electricity on Earth. To do so, devices must maintain the plasma that powers fusion’s reaction. Researchers @PPPLab developed a new computer code to help design a future fusion device: pppl.gov/news/2025/new-compu…

Transforming lead nuclei into gold nuclei is not a dream anymore! The ALICE experiment has measured the production of gold and other nuclei obtained from the emission of a few protons from the original lead nucleus!

Congratulations to @Fermilab for the most precise measurement of the magnetic anomaly of the muon 🤩👇
These are the final results of a multi-year campaign to measure this property, which is one of the most sensitive ways to search for physics beyond the #StandardModel.
For years to come, this measurement will be compared to theoretical predictions. Find out more in the @CERNCourier: cerncourier.com/a/do-muons-w…
We're thrilled to share the final result from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab! 🧲🤩 This long-awaited value will be the world’s most precise measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly for many years to come. 🙌
