Around 56 million years ago, a sharp rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere led to severe global warming that transformed the planet’s surface, which led to a widespread decline in forest cover. This decline during the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) could have parallels for what could happen as a result of human-driven climate change, say researchers. The PETM isn’t a perfect an

    Hello Nature readers, would you like to get this Briefing in your inbox free every day? Sign up here. A team of physicists says it has observed strong evidence of a mysterious ‘glueball’, a particle made up of force-carrying gluons. The team says that a particle known as X(2370) is mostly made up of these glueballs — clusters of the gluons that bind quarks to form protons and neutrons and hold them inside the nucleus of an atom. There is no single smoking gun that proves that this particle

On 12 August, researchers will get roughly two minutes to study the Sun’s outermost layer — the solar corona — during a total solar eclipse. Scientists hope that data gathered during the eclipse will help them to answer questions such as why the corona is so much hotter than the Sun’s surface below it, and where the Sun’s magnetic energy comes from. A better understanding of the corona

A new magnetometer — a device used to measure magnetic fields — is sensitive enough to detect the faint signals of the brain’s electrical activity. The technique uses laser beams to track the motions of a tiny levitating magnet suspended in a vacuum chamber. This method is simpler than existing approaches, which require temperatures close to absolute zero or near-perfect shielding from ext

Photographer Britta Jaschinski works with border-force operations and wildlife crime units across Europe to document elements of the illegal poaching trade. This striking image of a handprint on the shell of a green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) confiscated at London Heathrow Airport, UK, was one of Jaschinski’s winning entries in the 2026 Earth Photo Awards.
