Size matters when it comes to the formation of planets from cosmic dust, according to a team of astrophysicists from Tohoku University. The researchers' simulations found that the larger the dust aggregate, the less likely it is to stick together following a collision, an observation that may have significant implications for our understanding of planetary evolution.

In a significant development in the field of earthquake prediction, a study by the Paris Institute of Planetary Physics suggests that a noticeable stage of fault slip can occur two hours before significant earthquakes.

The study "Understanding atmospheric intercontinental dispersal of harmful microorganisms"* compiles the scope of the problem of the global dispersal of harmful microorganisms through the upper layers of the atmosphere. It confirms that the atmosphere -specifically the free troposphere- acts as a highway for many microbes and emphasizes the mechanisms that facilitate it.

Imagine purchasing a robot to perform household tasks. This robot was built and trained in a factory on a certain set of tasks and has never seen the items in your home. When you ask it to pick up a mug from your kitchen table, it might not recognize your mug (perhaps because this mug is painted with an unusual image, say, of MIT's mascot, Tim the Beaver). So, the robot fails.

Globally, more than 70% of the freshwater withdrawn from Earth’s surface or from underground is used to irrigate crops. The need to produce more food for a growing population against the backdrop of climate change is challenging enough, but satellites reveal that extracting water doesn’t just affect the local environment – there are knock-on consequences for many aspects of the Earth system.
