On 10 February 2026, the European Space Agency (ESA) signed a contract with OHB Italia for the development of the Rapid Apophis Mission for Space Safety (Ramses). Launching in 2028, Ramses will rendezvous with the asteroid Apophis before its rare close encounter with Earth. The mission will provide unique insight into the physical properties and behaviour of asteroids, and strengthen international collaboration and European capabilities in planetary defence.

In collaboration with the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Oshima College, the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed a new regenerator material composed solely of abundant elements such as copper, iron and aluminum that can achieve cryogenic temperatures around 4 K (minus 269 degrees Celsius) without using any rare earth metals or liquid helium. The work targets

Nanshan district in Shenzhen has built one of the densest hardware and robotics clusters on the planet, centered on a 10-kilometer stretch of Liuxian Avenue known locally as Robot Valley that packs together startups, factories and research labs. Inside this corridor, an embodied intelligent robot serving customers in a cafe has become a shorthand scene for how quickly hardware ideas now re

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine report that human driven climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a major greenhouse gas and ozone depleting substance, to break down in the atmosphere more quickly than previously estimated. Using two decades of data from NASA's Microwave Limb Sounder, they find that the atmospheric lifetime of nitrous oxide is shortening at a rate that introdu

The EUMETSAT Council has confirmed that the organisation will remain a key contributor to the European Commission's Destination Earth initiative as it enters Phase Three later this year. Launched in 2022, Destination Earth aims to build highly accurate digital twins of the planet to simulate and predict how natural processes interact with human activities, supporting better-informed decisi

The boreal forest, the world's largest terrestrial biome, is warming faster than any other major forest type and is now measurably shifting northward. A new analysis of the biome from 1985 to 2020 confirms that boreal forest cover has expanded and migrated toward higher latitudes over the past four decades. In a study led by Feng and colleagues and published in Biogeosciences in February 2
