Battle of the Anthropocene: allegations re-ignite row over proposed geologic epoch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After two years, researchers are resurfacing a voting controversy over whether Earth is officially in a geological epoch called the Anthropocene. In 2024, the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) upheld a decision to reject a proposal to establish our current era, when humans are altering the planet, as a new epoch in the rock record. Now, some scholars say that there are unpublished documents showing that the proposalâs rejection was illegitimate, and that the rationale for the d
The super El Niño is cooking coral reefs â can lullabies and probiotics save them? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs peak spawning time for coral in the Caribbean Sea and thereâs something new in the water this year. Underwater speakers at several locations are serenading clouds of floating larvae as they search for a place on the reef to permanently settle. Sounds recorded at vibrant reefs â such as the clicks of snapping prawn and the thrum of fish â fill the water at spots where coral reefs are struggling because of high temperatures, pollution and other stresses. This El Niño is set to be the
How did Earth get its water? Inside the extreme machine seeking answers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories is an extreme device. Its ring of capacitors fill a room about the size of two basketball courts. When they fire, they unleash an electrical pulse that, for a few billionths of a second, delivers more power than is generated by all the worldâs power plants at any given moment. This pulse triggers a shockwave that subjects anything at the machineâs centre to pressures equivalent to those found deep inside giant gas planets and nuclear explosions.
Why are El Niños getting stronger? 1,000-year-coral record points to climate change (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For Julia Cole, a palaeoclimatologist who uses corals to study Earthâs past climate, the powerful El Niño event now gaining strength in the Pacific Ocean comes as no surprise. It looks like part of a century-long pattern of strong El Niño events happening more often as the planet heats up because of human-caused climate change. âIt doesnât look like a fluke,â she says.

Billion-dollar machine aims to set a fusion-energy record â and study nuclear weapons (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A company has started to build a fusion machine that it hopes will be the first to generate more energy than it consumes, thanks to the use of immense pulses of electricity to squeeze capsules of hydrogen fuel. The billion-dollar facility, which will sit down the road from a major US nuclear-weapons laboratory, could also be used for research on the countryâs ageing stockpile of nuclear warheads. âIt is going to be transformative for both fusion energy and defence applications,â says physi
