NASA captured strange, rarely seen atmospheric waves rippling high above Hurricane Simon as the powerful storm roared along Mexico’s coast. Although Hurricane Simon stayed offshore, its powerful winds and heavy rainfall battered parts of Mexico’s Pacific coast, triggering flooding and raising concerns about landslides. Far above the storm, NASA satellites captured an equally remarkable phenomenon: […]
Hurricane Simon Roars Below as Strange Waves Ripple Across the Sky
NASA captured strange, rarely seen atmospheric waves rippling high above Hurricane Simon as the powerful storm roared along Mexico’s coast.

NASA Satellites Reveal a Troubling New Reality in the Arctic
Nearly 50 years of NASA satellite data reveal a troubling decline in Arctic sea ice, raising the possibility of a nearly ice-free summer before 2050. Satellite observations reveal that Arctic sea ice is covering less of the ocean than it did just a few decades ago, both during the height of winter and at the […]
2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine Honors Breakthrough That Lets Scientists Control the Brain With Light
An algal protein helped scientists reactivate a fear memory in mice, turning light into a tool for testing what specific brain cells do. Scientists who worked out how to control brain cells with light have won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel were honored for their […]

Scientists Discover an Unexpected Problem With a Cancer Drug Already in Human Trials
Earlier cancer studies may need a second look after researchers found that a drug acts mainly on an unexpected target. An experimental cancer drug already being tested in patients appears to work mainly by blocking a different biological target from the one it was developed to inhibit. The finding emerged from brain cancer research that […]
SpaceX Dragon Delivers Groundbreaking Science and Solar Arrays to ISS
SpaceX has delivered tiny brain models, 3D heart tissue, and artificial retina technology to the space station in a mission that could open new doors for medical research on Earth. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft successfully arrived at the International Space Station on October 15, docking at 10:27 a.m. EDT with the space-facing port of the station’s […]
