Earth’s tides funneled 150 gigawatts into tiny hot spots inside the Moon

Models suggest Earth’s gravity focused 150 GW into 2.5% of the Moon’s mantle, keeping pockets hot and helping yield 2‑billion‑year lunar basalts.

A storm that cost 56.7% of Jamaica’s economy—and insurance paid 2%

Hurricane Melissa left 4.8M tons of debris and 120,000 roofs gone; Jamaica faces a $12.2B hit (56.7% of GDP) with insurance covering about 2%.

Meet TACO1, the mitoribosome’s brace for proline jams

Meet TACO1, the mitoribosome’s brace for proline jams

Cryo-EM and modeling show TACO1 near the mitoribosome A site stabilizes incoming tRNA, explaining relief of proline stalls and links to mitochondrial disease.

Hydrogen chloride pops up over Alba Mons—in the wrong season

Hydrogen chloride pops up over Alba Mons—in the wrong season

ExoMars saw hydrogen chloride spike over fresh Alba Mons fissures in early summer, defying the usual pattern and hinting at seepage from a dormant magma chamber

Tijuana River pollution rode the ocean 22 miles to La Jolla’s air

Tijuana River pollution rode the ocean 22 miles to La Jolla’s air

UC Riverside linked Tijuana River wastewater to La Jolla air 22 miles away; up to 76% survived in seawater, and levels fell 86% after a diversion.

A 115‑million‑year‑old dinosaur bone with a hint of blood

Scientists report heme signatures and red-blood-cell-like structures in a 115-million-year-old Aratasaurus bone, with debate over whether they’re true blood cel

After 1,645 Martian days, a suit swatch says Mars dust is smoother—and stickier

Postcard-size suit fabric spent 1,645 Martian days in dust; study finds Mars grit is less abrasive than lunar but ultrafine, electrostatically sticky, and chemi

Soft rock wins the race as shale erodes three times faster—and mountains may breathe out more CO2

UMass-led work finds weaker shale erodes 3x faster than hard rock, shifting sediment sources and implying higher mountain CO2. Tested with 10Be in quartz in a 4

Three signals nudge a human gonad into being—mapped across 33 cell types

Spatial single-cell mapping reveals WNT, BMP and NCAM cues at CS15, 33 cell types, PAX8+ rete cells, two adrenal fetal-zone programs, and male steroidogenesis a

A restoration map the size of Algeria—and a $296 billion sprint to 2030

UN stocktake counts 252m ha restored across 149 countries, over 1m jobs, but funding must rise from $64b to $296b by 2030 as aquatic ecosystems lag.
