Kalimantan, Borneo © Marc Veraat. By Christian Thorsberg, Circle of Blue — August 10, 2021. On the Caribbean island of St. Vincent, in the modest village of Rabacca, a natural border known as the Dry River stretches beneath a palm tree canopy. It is dry because it is still, filled not with rapid water but the pyroclastic flows of lava, rock, and ash that have tumbled from the island’s active volcano, La Soufrière, and lithified.

The IPCC issued the massive first volume of its new report on climate change on Monday. This volume focuses on climate science: how much will the world warm, and what will the impacts be? The bottom line is that the evidence is becoming ever firmer that (a) humans are causing an unprecedented rate of climate change, (b) we are starting to foreclose our ability to achieve less dangerous outcomes, and (c) failure to act will impose tremendous costs for generations.

X-ray flares originating from behind a black hole have been observed for the first time – by an international team led by Dan Wilkins at Stanford University in the US. The wavelength-shifted X-ray flashes are believed to have originated as photons that collided with the black hole’s inner accretion disk, before being redirected towards Earth by the black hole’s colossal gravity.

The technology could be useful for delivering drugs to the nervous system. In this latest study, researchers put the robots through their paces and showed that they can climb slopes, tumble upstream against fluid flow and deliver substances at precise locations to neural tissue.
