A significant space weather phenomenon that has attracted much interest from the scientific community, industry, and the general public is geomagnetic storms. In May 2024, a powerful geomagnetic storm occurred, causing substantial changes in Earth upper atmosphere. A research team from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, carried out a comprehensive investigation to look into how this superstorm affected different regions of the upper atmosphere. They utilized multiple ground-based and satellite observation instruments to examine the response of the ionosphere-thermosphere coupling system. Earth and Planetary Physics has published the study's results.

A new 3D design for electrodes enables the Battolyser™, a battery and electrolyser in one, to store twice the amount of electricity it could previously hold and do so four times faster. Researchers from Delft University of Technology have detailed their findings in the scientific journal Cell Reports Physical Science. The Battolyser now charges and produces hydrogen at a rate comparable to current electrolysers, all without relying on scarce precious metals. This increased capacity saves both space and costs.A new 3D design for electrodes enables the Battolyser™, a battery and electrolyser in one, to store twice the amount of electricity it could previously hold and do so four times faster.

A recent study in Nature Communications used data from the NASA and USGS Landsat 8 satellite to identify a major gap in global resilience to climate change: cities in the Global South have far less green space — and therefore less cooling capacity — than cities in the Global North.
