Scientists propose launching a giant 'airbag' into space to protect us from solar superstorms ‪— and experts say it's 'quite feasible'

A new study suggests creating a satellite constellation, dubbed StormWall, that could reduce the impacts of the worst solar storms by more than 50%. The novel plan, which involves dumping gas into the magnetosphere, could be the only way to directly protect ourselves from dangerous space weather, experts say.

Flowering plants may have recruited dinosaurs long before birds or mammals, with hundreds of fossil fruits revealing an ancient seed-spreading strategy

Fossil discoveries in New Mexico reveal that flowering plants were producing large, animal-attracting fruits millions of years earlier than previously believed, potentially as far back as the age of dinosaurs. This challenges the long-held scientific view that such complex reproductive strategies only emerged after the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs. The…

In 1950, Australia used a virus as a biological weapon against millions of rabbits; scientists just decoded how they fought back, using DNA from a rabbit that once belonged to Charles Darwin

Australia's 1950 introduction of the myxoma virus to control rabbits backfired as evolution intervened. Scientists, analyzing rabbit DNA across 150 years, discovered independent populations in Australia, the UK, and France developed resistance through similar genetic changes. This ongoing arms race sees the virus evolving to suppress immunity, while rabbits gain…
