Windscale Fire: A Covered-Up Nuclear Disaster
The 1957 Windscale fire, Britain's worst nuclear disaster, caused by safety failures, released radioactive materials across northern England and beyond, leading to a government cover-up and an estimated 32 deaths and 260 cancer cases.

Insect Decline: Data Gap Hinders Accurate Assessment
A new study reveals that while some insect populations, such as bees and butterflies, are declining, it's too early to declare an insect apocalypse due to a significant lack of data on most species, particularly in Asia, Africa and South America.

Cambodian Rat Breaks Landmine Detection Record
Ronin, a 68-centimeter-long African giant rat, set a world record by detecting 109 landmines and 15 explosive remnants in Cambodia, highlighting the effectiveness of using trained animals for demining efforts in areas like Cambodia where millions of unexploded landmines from a past civil war remain.

Air Pollution Accelerates Aging, Increases Atherosclerosis Risk: Study
A University of Athens study, presented at the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting, found air pollution shortens telomeres, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of atherosclerosis in 400 participants; researchers suggest cleaner transportation and urban environments as solutions.

Insect Decline: A Critical Knowledge Gap Hinders Conservation Efforts
A new study reveals that while 20% of the 12,100 assessed insect species are threatened, less than 1% of all insect species have been evaluated, leaving a vast knowledge gap regarding the true scale of insect decline and necessitating a new, comprehensive assessment framework.

North American Continent Undergoes 'Cratonic Dripping'
Research published in Nature Geoscience reveals that North America's ancient core is slowly sinking into the Earth's mantle due to a process called "cratonic dripping", primarily affecting the Midwest, a phenomenon possibly linked to convective heat flows or a subducting oceanic plate.

Svalbard Glaciers Retreat: A Century of Photographic Evidence
Swedish photographer Christian Aslund's before-and-after photos of Svalbard glaciers, spanning over a century, reveal a drastic reduction in glacial mass due to Arctic warming, which is happening twice as fast as the rest of the planet, and is projected to create ice-free summers by 2050.
