Around the world, nearly every delta can adapt to rising sea levels using today’s technological capabilities, materials, and space, according to physical geographers from Utrecht University. In a new study - the first global assessment of the physical solution space of global deltas - they studied nearly 800 deltas, representing ~96% of the global delta land area and home to roughly 350 million people, to determine their opportunities for sea-level rise adaptation.

Gladstone Institutes, a nonprofit biomedical research organization, has secured more than 105,000 square feet of future laboratory space in a newly constructed building at 1450 Owens Street in San Francisco, empowering its scientists with the tools and environment to create medicines of the future. The new building is one block from Gladstone's 200,000-square-foot headquarters, which houses more than 600 scientists across 32 labs. 

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a vital shield against radiation arriving from space, but it is not constant. A new international study has examined how a reduction of the magnetic field similar to the Laschamps excursion would affect aviation on routes such as Helsinki–Dubai and Helsinki–New York if it occurred today.

Embargoed until 14:00 CET Tuesday March 24, 2026: An international team of astronomers have made the groundbreaking discovery of a second planet in the same system where they discovered another planet last year.

Detected at an early stage of formation in the disc around a young star, the young planet named WISPIT 2c is estimated to be about 5 million years-old and most likely ten times the mass of Jupiter.

The star, WISPIT 2 is located in the constellation of the Eagle, a prominent equatorial constellation visible in the summer northern hemisphere (July-November) along the Milky Way.

The study was led by PhD student, Chloe Lawlor from the Centre for Astronomy at the University of Galway, in collaboration with PhD student Richelle van Capelleveen, Leiden Observatory, Netherlands and postdoctoral researcher Guillaume Bourdarot, Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany.
