Private research university in Washington, D.C., whose faculty conduct studies spanning astrophysics, Arctic science, and social research.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
Danny Hayes and Anusha Trivedi compared loneliness with local news supply across US states, then across individuals in a 2024 national survey, and got the same direction both times. Which way the relationship runs is still an open question.
Reality
At a Sierra Nevada field station, feeders that open for a single banded bird have tested up to 250 mountain chickadees a winter since 2013, which lets a memory score be matched against which birds actually survive.
Reality
Mapping Arctic buildings by height rather than footprint lifts the projected mid-century rebuilding bill from $110 billion to $261 billion, a correction that could only run upward once floors entered the exposure model.
Reality
Radio polarization from Murriyang and X-ray polarization from IXPE both stay locked to the magnetic field of 1E 1547.0-5408, which is what quantum electrodynamics predicts and what no accelerator has shown.
Reality
The first global synthesis of long-term active layer records finds thickening at most monitored sites, with mountain permafrost changing fastest and some active layers doubling.
Reality
Astronomers report the first detection of vacuum birefringence, predicted in the 1930s. Outside commentators say the result stands or falls on one assumption about the star's geometry.
Reality
A US-led team reads up to 80% X-ray polarization from magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408 as QED vacuum birefringence. An Italian-led group says alternative explanations are not excluded.
