The debris was launched from near a gravitational gateway controlled by Jupiter, sending fragments toward Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The bombardment may explain ancient lunar craters and could have contributed to major climate and biological changes on Earth. ScienceDaily — Environmental Science · 18 Jul 2026 Research & science Earth’s biggest volcanic event transformed an entire oceanic plate Seismic waves have revealed that the oceanic plate beneath the Ontong Java Plateau was dramatically transformed by the colossal volcanic activity that created it more than 100 million years ago. Researchers found a complex structure of horizontal layers cut through by vast swarms of vertical magma channels, along with unusually slow seismic waves suggesting that deep-rising magma chemically alt… ScienceDaily — Environmental Science · 18 Jul 2026 Research & science Cryptanalytic Extraction of Convolutional Neural Networks - Springer Nature Link Circular Economy and Sustainability (Springer) · 18 Jul 2026 Research & science To trial or not to trial: Veteran vaccine advisers say vaccine clinical trials alone don’t tell whole story Two nationally recognized scientists with decades of experience advising U.S. vaccine policy argue that it is a mistake to exclude well-designed observational studies in determining how well vaccines work on a year-to-year basis.

Sustainable Development (Wiley) · 18 Jul 2026 Research & science Researchers create strong 'super silk' that maintains shape after wetting Painstakingly woven from the cocoons of silkworms, silk has been valued for more than 4,000 years as a luxury material. More than just beautiful, silk is also lightweight, strong and biocompatible, allowing it to be used for clothing, medical materials and more. However, conventional silk has a glaring weakness—it shrinks and loses its shape after repeated exposure to moisture.
