Astronomers Are Sounding the Alarm Over Dangerous Space Weather. Are We Prepared?

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-09 16:30:21

We have a suite of incredibly advanced, complex instruments to study the weather on Earth. Space weather isn’t any less complicated—quite the opposite, in fact—and so one would think that the measures we take to watch for such events should match that complexity. Astronomers, however, aren’t so sure we’re doing nearly enough. In a paper published October 6 in The Astrophysical Journal, researchers created detailed simulations showing huge shifts in the Sun’s plasma and magnetic fields caused by

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-11 16:45:22

A brutal blizzard struck Tibet and Nepal on Friday evening, stranding hundreds of hikers near the eastern face of Mount Everest. While 350 have reportedly been brought to safety, more than 200 are still awaiting rescue as of Monday morning. Chinese state-backed news site Jimu News reported the hikers were trapped at an elevation of more than 16,000 feet (4,900 meters), according to the Associated Press. That’s nearly halfway up the 29,035 ft (8,850 m) peak. On Sunday, state broadcaster CCTV sai

2025 Climate Tech Companies to Watch: Ather Energy and its premium e-scooters

As the country’s leading EV-only scooter maker, Ather’s successful expansion could supercharge India’s shift away from fossil fuels, and help achieve the government’s goal of reducing air pollution, while also building a market presence internationally. In mid-2024 Ather introduced the Ather Rizta, a spacious family scooter with a large seat, more storage, and fast charging, which sold over 100,000 units within a year of its launch.

10% of Earth’s Land Is at Risk of Wildfire Disaster, Study Finds

In January, firefighters spent nearly a month battling more than a dozen wildfires across Los Angeles. Despite their best efforts, the two largest—the Eaton and Palisades fires—now rank as the second- and third-most destructive in California history, together burning 38,000 acres, torching 16,000 structures, and killing 31 people. A large part of what makes this story so devastating is that it isn’t unique. All across the world—from Chile to Canada, Greece, Australia, Portugal, Algeria, and the

The app is expected to arrive with the Pixel Watch 4, but you can already sideload it on Wear OS 6 smartwatches.

American vagabond of unknown and disputed identity The Leatherman ( c. 1839–1889) was a vagabond famous for his handmade leather suit of clothes who traveled through the northeastern United States on a regular circuit between the Connecticut River and the Hudson River from roughly 1857 to 1889. Of unknown origin, he was thought to be French-Canadian because of his fluency in the French language, his "broken English", and the French-language prayer book found on his person after his death.

Growing Up on Alcatraz

On a gray May morning — that’s to say a typical San Francisco May morning — in 2014, my mother, my wife, and I convened at Pier 33 to ride to Alcatraz, along with a literal boatload of tourists. But we were on a secret mission. Hours earlier, before leaving the Peninsula, I had opened the box containing my father’s ashes and portioned out perhaps a pint of the coarse, bone-white powder.

Hyundai is working with a startup on plant-based leather that smells like the real thing

Confession time: My household owns two cars, one with leather and one with “leather.” The former feels amazing, the latter … well, let’s just say it’s not fooling anyone. Based on the samples currently sitting on my desk, leather alternatives don’t have to feel so artificial or be so harsh on the environment. Most fake leathers are made using plastics derived from fossil fuels. The samples from Uncaged Innovations, though, are made mostly using grains including wheat, soy, and corn. The result

Physics of badminton's new killer spin serve

Serious badminton players are constantly exploring different techniques to give them an edge over opponents. One of the latest innovations is the spin serve, a devastatingly effective method in which a player adds a pre-spin just before the racket contacts the shuttlecock (aka the birdie). It's so effective—some have called it "impossible to return"—that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned the spin serve in 2023, at least until after the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.
