Solar Power Shortages Are on the Rise

by Rebecca Dzombak 16 April 202516 April 2025

More communities are relying on solar power as a source of renewable energy, but increasing demand and climate change threaten its reliability.

Dozens of ice cores—long, thin cylinders—are stored on a metal shelf and seen from the front, so they look like circles.

Nonlinear Dynamics May Lead to Faster Retreat of Antarctic Ice

by Minghua Zhang 14 April 202514 April 2025

The Antarctic ice sheet behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid and may be more nonlinear than previously thought. This impacts its future stability and requires revisions to predictions of sea level rise.

Four seemingly identical, octagonal, disklike structures, each with several various thin antennas extending outward at various angles, appear to be floating in a closely spaced cluster in space. In the background, on the right side of the image, is the round shape of the planet Earth, encircled by translucent, overlapping blue and purple lines.

Arctic Sea Ice After CO2 Recovery: Implications for North Atlantic Weather

by Gudrun Magnusdottir 4 April 202524 April 2025

Incomplete Arctic sea ice recovery results in equatorward-shifted winter jets. The North Atlantic jet shift is particularly uncertain due to the ocean circulation acting as an additional driver.

Heating Mechanism at Earth’s Bow Shock Depends on Shock Speed

by Marit Oieroset 24 February 202524 February 2025

A new technique shows that the dominance of gradual versus chaotic electron heating processes at Earth’s bow shock is controlled by how fast the shock is moving.
