“Space weather can impact systems that use IT for critical functions and everyday processes,” James Spann, a senior scientist at the Office of Space Weather Observations at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) department, told Space.com in an email. “These space weather impacts can have the same symptoms as a cyberattack, where systems will be brought down, or lockup, or transmit erroneous information.”
NESDIS oversaw a tabletop space weather exercise conducted in May 2024, the first such drill testing the U.S. preparedness for a major solar storm. Results of the exercise, which brought together 35 US government agencies, were published in a report in April.
In one of the simulations during the exercise, NOAA and the U.S. Air Force reported a severe solar flare and radio burst, but another federal department or agency “reported contradictory information, suggesting that the radio and communications disruptions were possibly the result of a cyberattack,” according to the report. Above all, it showed the need for effective communication following such events.

Artificial intelligence could be affecting the scientific rigor of new research, according to a study from the University of Surrey.
The research team has called for a range of measures to reduce the flood of “low-quality” and “science fiction” papers, including stronger peer review processes and the use of statistical reviewers for complex datasets.
In a study published in PLOS Biology, researchers reviewed papers proposing an association between a predictor and a health condition using an American government dataset called the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), published between 2014 and 2024.
A new technique that uses soundwaves to separate materials for recycling could help prevent potentially harmful chemicals leaching into the environment.
Researchers at the University of Leicester have achieved a major milestone in fuel cell recycling, advancing techniques to efficiently separate valuable catalyst materials and fluorinated polymer membranes (PFAS) from catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs). The articles are published in RSC Sustainability and Ultrasonic Sonochemistry.
This development addresses critical environmental challenges posed by PFAS—often referred to as “forever chemicals”—which are known to contaminate drinking water and have serious health implications. The Royal Society of Chemistry has urged government intervention to reduce PFAS levels in UK water supplies.
Research council launches 100m kroner fund as Norwegian government calls for the protection of academic freedom
Recent Extinction Rebellion protests saw key sites across London shut down in an attempt to force the government to declare an ‘eco-emergency.’
Our dissatisfaction with breakdown on a global, individual and societal level pushes many of us into activism. Increased numbers of people report suffering from ‘eco-anxiety’, and a recent study showed only 29% of American millennials currently believe that the country is heading in the right direction.
But can decay be completely reversed by human effort?
In this podcast, Tom Cozens speaks with Dr Mark Hocknull, who points out that decay finds its cause in deeper laws governing the physical universe. According to the principle of entropy, breakdown and decay are inescapable aspects of the natural world. The second law of thermodynamics states that decay and disorder are inescapable, and will always increase over time, despite human effort to reverse the process.
In the face of a world inescapably programmed towards breakdown, should we fight back or give up?

Thin film solar cells can be integrated into unexpected surfaces, such as building facades, windows, or the growing floating solar market. Thin film’s flexibility opens doors to new applications and helps overcome some of the barriers that have long limited the adoption of solar energy.
A lot of the interest in thin film solar technologies is coming from one company, based right in the heart of the UK: Power Roll. The County Durham-based firm has spent years exploring how to make thin, flexible solar cells that can be applied almost anywhere and has recently been hitting major milestones in commercialising the technology in an effort to get it out across the world.
Solar Power Portal sat down with Power Roll CEO Neil Spann to explore how thin film solar could deliver the government’s promised “rooftop revolution” and how Power Roll’s unique manufacturing process can make solar power a cheap reality worldwide.
Construction of what would be the world’s longest suspension bridge is scheduled to begin this year, according to the Italian government.
The bridge between the island of Sicily and the Italian mainland would cross over the Strait of Messina, a distance of 3,300 meters, though the construction has to grapple with tectonic activity that could cause earthquakes.
The FBI has asked the public for information on Chinese Salt Typhoon hackers behind widespread breaches of telecommunications providers in the United States and worldwide.
In October, the FBI and CISA confirmed that the Chinese state hackers had breached multiple telecom providers (including AT&T, Verizon, Lumen, Charter Communications, Consolidated Communications, and Windstream) and many other telecom companies in dozens of countries.
As revealed at the time, while they had access to the U.S. telecoms’ networks, the attackers also accessed the U.S. law enforcement’s wiretapping platform and gained access to the “private communications” of a “limited number” of U.S. government officials.
