Babies are born with rhythm as NASA’s Artemis II faces delays and solar flares surge

Babies are born with rhythm as NASA’s Artemis II faces delays and solar flares surge

Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. You’re listening to our weekly science news roundup. Last week NASA’s Artemis II moon mission was delayed by at least a month. After the agency’s so-called wet dress rehearsal revealed hydrogen fuel leaks in the launch vehicle, among other problems. Here

As Beijing and Moscow tout ties, China’s firms keep Ukraine’s lights on

Across Europe, demand for Chinese goods is soaring as consumers seek quality products at a lower cost. Some goods – particularly electric vehicles, batteries and solar panels – have been shipped from China at a large enough scale that the continent’s lawmakers have begun taking action against an “overcapacity” they feel could throttle domestic industries.

NASA space telescope sees interstellar visitor comet 3I/ATLAS flare up while exiting the solar system

NASA’s SPHEREx captured these infrared observations during a December 2025 campaign, revealing dust, water, organic molecules and carbon dioxide in comet 3I/ATLAS’s coma. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech) New infrared observations reveal the rare interstellar visitor comet 3I/ATLAS dramatically brightening during its farewell tour of the solar system. NASA’s SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe,

New critique debunks claim that trees can sense a solar eclipse

New critique debunks claim that trees can sense a solar eclipse

“He puts forward logical alternative hypotheses,” said Cahill of Novoplansky’s critique. “The original work should have tested among a number of different hypotheses rather than focusing on a single interpretation. This is in part what makes it pseudoscience and promoting a worldview.” Granted, “[p]lants have extensive and well established mechanisms of communication, with that of

Interface engineering boosts perovskite solar cell performance

Interface engineering boosts perovskite solar cell performance

Scientists have developed a new way to boost the performance of perovskite solar cells by precisely controlling the formation of two-dimensional (2D) perovskite phases at critical interfaces. Perovskite solar cells are seen as the future of renewable energy because they can be very efficient and low-cost. But the big challenge is keeping the material stable
