The American company TRIC Robotics is taking ultraviolet crop protection from laboratory research to commercial-scale farming. Its autonomous machines operate at night in California strawberry fields, treating plants with UV-C light while also mechanically removing insects with a vacuum system. In June 2026, the company reported that two robots operating in a commercial field near Santa Maria c
Scientists at Newcastle University are part of a research team that has discovered an ancient river landscape preserved beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The landscape appears to have been formed by rivers at least 14 million years ago and possibly even before the initial growth of East Antarctic ice around 34 million years ago. It consists of ancient valleys and ridges, not dissimil

El Niño is a natural climate phenomenon, typically lasting 9-12 months, that has been linked to crop failures, more frequent wildfires and concurrent droughts, increased flood risk, disruptions to fisheries, elevated civil conflict and increased disease risk in various regions. Present forecasts predict a 61% chance of El Niño emerging over May-July 2026 and persisting until at least

Satellite images captured by NASA have revealed dramatic water loss at Arizona’s San Carlos Reservoir, one of the state’s largest bodies of water, which now appears “near-empty” after months of drought and water releases. According to NASA’s Earth Observatory, a Landsat image taken on May 22, 2026, shows the reservoir holding just 389 acre-feet of water—“less than 1 percent full”
