Could sodium replace lithium as the dominant ingredient in batteries?
Mahir Asadli / ShutterstockThe world we live in today runs on batteries. But the lithium ion batteries that dominate the market are expensive and environmentally demanding to extract. The raw materials for lithium ion batteries are scarce and concentrated in a few geographical regions. This places continued pressure on supply chains. Sodium-ion batteries are a promising alternative because they use abundant materials. But sodium has shortcomings that have blocked it from being used as a replac...

New DNA evidence could change everything we know about how humans settled and spread in South America
New DNA evidence could change our understanding of how humans settled and spread in South America as research has revealed long-distance migration began centuries earlier than previously thought.An international research team uncovered evidence that extensive coastal migration in Peru began at least eight centuries ago, well before the Inca Empire rose to power.The findings, published in Nature Communications, challenge previous assumptions about the mobility of pre-Inca societies along the Paci...
Wildfire risk is now spreading to cool climates like the Scottish Highlands and Irish uplands

Thomas Halpin/ShutterstockThe most destructive wildfire season on record in Europe was in 2025, with more than one million hectares burned and tens of thousands of people displaced by fires across the continent. For people in Ireland and Britain, the type of destructive wildfires that ravage southern Europe each summer can seem like a distant problem. But these fires are not confined to the dry Mediterranean land...

Scientists map rocks with rare earth element potential, helping pinpoint new deposits
Researchers from Cambridge’s Department of Earth Sciences mapped occurrences of CO2-rich igneous rocks – the world’s primary source of rare earth elements – finding that their distribution is strongly tied to variations in Earth’s rigid outer layer, the lithosphere. Thicker lithosphere is key to creating the right rocks for enrichment, say the researchers, allowing pockets of molten rock to become trapped at depth where they slowly steep to concentrate metals. The findings, published in the jo...
Something coming: Here's what scientists know about a potential 'super' El Nino
Forecasters say a potentially “super” El Nino is rapidly taking shape in the Pacific — but whether it evolves into a history-making event could hinge on fickle winds and other volatile atmospheric shifts. The fast-warming tropical Pacific is pointing to a major event but a crucial weakening of trade winds — capable of turbocharging or throttling the phenomenon — has yet to materialise. Scientists say these interactions are notoriously complex and difficult to predict — making it too early to con...
