Campi Flegrei Supervolcano: Increased Seismic Activity and Gas Emissions Raise Eruption Concerns
The Campi Flegrei supervolcano near Naples, Italy, experienced a magnitude 4.4 earthquake in May, the strongest in 40 years, along with over 3,000 tremors and increased gas emissions, raising concerns of a major eruption that could devastate Naples and impact global climate.

German Scientists Condemn US Plan to Control Scientific Publications
Leading German scientists strongly criticize a US government plan to control publications in three leading medical journals (Lancet, JAMA, NEJM), fearing it will compromise scientific freedom, endanger public health through biased research, and ultimately damage the US science system.

First Observation of Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flash Before Lightning Strike
Japanese researchers used a multi-sensor system to capture a terrestrial gamma-ray flash (TGF) 31 microseconds before two electrical currents collided to form lightning in Kanazawa, solving a three-decade-old mystery about how thunderstorms generate gamma rays.

CRISPR Therapy Shows Promise but Faces Rollout Challenges
The first CRISPR-based therapy, approved in late 2023, offers a cure for previously untreatable diseases; however, slow rollout due to manufacturing and accreditation challenges highlights the need for regulatory adaptations and technological advancements in CRISPR enzyme delivery.

Glacier Melt: Irreversible Loss Even with Limited Warming
A new study in Science shows that over one-third of the world's glacier ice is doomed to melt, even if warming is limited to 1.2 degrees Celsius, with current policies projecting three-quarters of glacier ice loss, significantly impacting Europe and causing regional water shortages and sea level ris...
