My passions include trying my best to save a dying planet, be it through carpooling or by spreading awareness about it. Research comes naturally to me, complemented by a keen interest in writing and journalism. Guided by a curious mind and a drive to look beyond the surface, I strive to bring thoughtful attention and clarity to subjects across Earth, sciences, environment, and everything in between.

  • Auroras on Jupiter flash in seconds, defying old models

    The largest planet in the solar system is putting on a show no telescope has fully caught before. New data from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the gas giant’s auroras flickering in bursts measured in seconds, not minutes. Scientists now face fresh questions about where that power comes from.

  • Damaged crust beneath Campi Flegrei linked to uplift and seismicity

    A study of Campi Flegrei’s crust has uncovered a damaged rock layer underground that may be driving the volcano’s long-running unrest. The zone, weakened by older magma intrusions, now appears to trap gas rising from deeper sources. This buildup of underground pressure could explain both the steady ground uplift and the swarms of small quakes recorded since 2005.

  • Experiment confirms electric power generation from Earth’s rotation

    Researchers from Princeton University have experimentally demonstrated that Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field can generate electric power. The findings support a theoretical model that challenges long-standing assumptions about the impracticality of harvesting rotational energy from Earth’s magnetic field.

  • Unseasonal rains leave 24 dead in Maharashtra, Red alerts still in place

    Unseasonal heavy rain and strong winds triggered by a low-pressure system over the Arabian Sea have battered Maharashtra over the past two weeks, leading to at least 24 deaths and widespread damage. The worst days came on May 19 and 20, with multiple deaths reported from lightning, drowning, tree falls, and a building collapse. With continued rainfall and severe weather predicted, several districts remain under Orange or Red alerts.

  • Floods affect 270 000 people in Maguindanao del Sur, Philippines

    Heavy rains linked to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) have affected more than 270 000 people in Maguindanao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines, between May 14 and 22, 2025. Floodwaters have damaged homes and disrupted transportation, forcing thousands to seek shelter in evacuation centers.

  • Tornado hits Udine Province, damages school in Dignano, Italy

    A tornado struck Buja and Dignano in Italy’s Udine Province on Thursday, May 22, 2025, tearing the roof off a primary school in Dignano. The event occurred amid a broader severe weather system that brought flooding and intense rainfall to other parts of the region.

  • Flooding continues in New South Wales with three dead, 50 000 residents cut off

    Severe flooding persisted across eastern New South Wales (NSW) on Thursday, May 22, 2025, following days of heavy rainfall from a slow-moving trough. Floodwaters inundated towns in the Mid North Coast and Hunter regions for a third consecutive day. Three fatalities have been confirmed, one person remains missing, and approximately 50 000 residents are isolated.
