A Russian strike hit the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the country's largest scientific research institution. French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the attack, saying it illustrates the Russian regime's hostile contempt for science and truth, and adds to what he called the barbarity of Russia's ongoing strikes against Ukraine.
- 2NASA turns to AI to mine decades of scientific data▼At NASA, AI is helping scientists unlock discoveries hidden in decades of data
NASA scientists are using artificial intelligence to comb through decades of archived data, surfacing discoveries that earlier analysis missed. A report by Microsoft highlights how machine learning tools are being applied to the space agency's vast historical datasets, helping researchers find new patterns and insights in old missions. The work illustrates a growing trend of AI-assisted science at major research institutions.

A 1904 lithographic plate by Ernst Haeckel from his Kunstformen der Natur, depicting Hexacoralla corals, is being shared from the Library of Congress collections and is available to buy as a print. The image is public domain, and the post highlights it under biodiversity, nature, marine and art themes, drawing attention to Haeckel's celebrated blend of scientific illustration and decorative design.
- 6Carrington Event Still the Most Powerful Storm on Record●“The Carrington Event remains the most powerful geomagnetic storm in the scientific record, with strong auroral displays
The Carrington Event of 1859 is being discussed as the most powerful geomagnetic storm in the scientific record. Auroral displays were reported worldwide, and the storm caused sparking and fires at telegraph stations. Some operators found they could still transmit on disconnected lines, illustrating how the storm induced currents in infrastructure long before modern power grids existed.
