Why this year’s climate conditions helped Hurricane Beryl smash records

Hurricane Beryl, the Atlantic Ocean’s first hurricane in 2024, began roaring across the Caribbean in late June, wreaking devastation on Grenada and other Windward Islands as it grew in power. It’s now swirling on like a buzzsaw toward Jamaica and…

A stellar explosion may create a temporary ‘new star’ this summer

A tiny white dwarf star, surrounded by a swirl of material, is siphoning more material from a nearby fiery-looking red giant star in this illustration.

Keep your eyes on the night sky this summer, scanning for the constellation Corona Borealis, and if you are lucky, you may glimpse what appears to be a new star winking on in the dark. The brightening point of light…

Physicists measured the rotation of the Earth using quantum entanglement

Red squiggles representing photons are sent into a loop representing the optical fiber in an interferometer, which surrounds Earth on a starry backdrop

The rotation of the Earth has been measured many times – but never like this. At first, scientists used entangled quantum particles called photons to detect the speed at which the globe spins. The achievement is a step toward investigating…
