Alaska’s glaciers are highly sensitive to rising temperatures. According to new research using satellite radar observations, every 1 degree Celsius increase in average summer temperatures extends glacier melting by roughly three weeks. A single degree Celsius equals 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. The study also demonstrates that synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can automatically and consistently monitor glaciers and their snowlines throughout the year. Traditionally, snowlines are usually measured only near the end of the melt season using optical instruments. Researchers found that SAR provides more dependable data than conventional surface-based optical methods. The findings were published in Nature. The study was led…

Brinkema, was the strongest effort to date by anyone in government to hold the administration to its word that the proposal to create the fund had actually been set aside. While Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, told Congress last week that the fund would not move…

Credit: Friday Phiriby Friday PhiriFriday, June 12, 2026Inter Press Service Africa contributes the least to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet it faces some of the world’s most severe climate-related health impacts. Several realities define the continent’s climate and health landscape – increased infectious diseases, air pollution, death, disruption and pressure on health systems through heatwaves, floods, droughts and storms. Changing temperatures and, more significantly, rainfall patterns are expanding the geographical range and transmission dynamics of climate-sensitive diseases such as Malaria, Dengue fever, Cholera and other vector- and water-borne diseases.Climate-induced droughts, floods,…

The SpaceX IPO, which raised at least $75 billion and became the biggest public offering ever, carries significant AI implications for the Elon Musk-owned conglomerate and the broader generative AI market. Over the last year, SpaceX, which in addition to its rocket business, includes Starlink broadband satellite network, xAI and the X platform, plunged into the neocloud sector, forging $30 billion deals with competitors Google and Anthropic to supply GPU compute from SpaceX’s Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 data centers. Musk plans to grow the AI compute business and is promoting plans to build AI data centers in space, possibly in conjunction…

You’re far from alone in finding an excuse not to work out when you’re not in the mood. “Low motivation to work out or just not being in the mood is common and normal,” says Amanda Capritto, an ACE-certified personal trainer and nutrition coach at Trainer Academy who is based in Miami. “Even as a fitness industry professional, it’s rare that I’m fueled exclusively by motivation.”So how does motivation link to your willingness to work out? We explore the often complex relationship between exercise and motivation, as well as how to overcome the roadblocks that keep you from a sweat session…

The idea is to treat the disease by regenerating healthy nerves in the eye—but the company already hopes to go further. If the treatment can reverse glaucoma, similar treatments could reverse other diseases of aging. Maybe, just maybe, they could reverse aging altogether. The approach relies on “reprogramming” cells to a younger state. It’s one of many strategies being explored by biotech companies looking to slow and reverse aging. But of all of them, it seems to be the one that is truly taking off. Read the full story on the pursuit of reprogramming for rejuvenation. —Jessica Hamzelou This story…

The world is quickly depleting its stores of oil, putting more pressure on President Trump to reach a deal with Iran that would quickly get more fuel flowing out of the Persian Gulf.Vast stockpiles of oil, gasoline and other fuels have helped fill the hole in global energy supplies created by the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. But those reserves, which companies and governments stash in giant steel storage tanks and underground salt caverns, are running low in some places. This week, U.S. government stockpiles were poised to hit their lowest levels since 1983.That ominous milestone was overshadowed by Mr. Trump’s…
