A Glimpse of New Physics? ATLAS Edges Closer to Unlocking Higgs Boson Secrets
The ATLAS collaboration has reported evidence for Higgs bosons decaying into muons and has enhanced the ability to detect Higgs boson decays involving a Z boson and a photon. At the 2025 European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP) in Marseille, France, research on the Higgs boson was a central focus. Among the […]
Megaquake Triggers Rare Tsunami Caught by NASA’s SWOT Satellite
NASA and France’s SWOT satellite has captured rare, detailed measurements of a tsunami generated by a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. This data, including wave height, shape, and direction, is helping NOAA fine-tune its tsunami forecast models, which are crucial for early warnings to coastal communities. Even seemingly small waves in the […]
Scientists Uncover Mysterious “Oases” on the Drying Shores of the Great Salt Lake
University of Utah geologists study reed-covered mounds that mark locations where ancient groundwater emerges at the surface. As water levels in the Great Salt Lake continue to drop, a new and unusual feature has emerged, giving Utah scientists another chance to investigate the lake’s many mysteries. In recent years, clusters of phragmites-covered mounds have appeared […]
Greenland’s Melting Ice Is Supercharging Life in the Sea
Greenland’s rapidly melting ice sheet is not only raising sea levels but also stirring life in the ocean, NASA-supported researchers found that glacial runoff near Jakobshavn Glacier lifts nutrient-rich deep waters to the surface, fueling summer phytoplankton blooms by up to 40%. Greenland’s Ice Sheet Sends Nutrients Skyward Runoff from Greenland’s vast ice sheet is […]
