Immortal Sharks

Immortal Sharks

By Maria Raquel

For decades, the Greenland shark was portrayed as a living fossil: slow, strange, and supposedly blind. A new study published in Nature Communications overturns that image. The species can live up to 400 years — and its vision remains functional across centuries.

Lowered Sky

Lowered Sky

By Maria Raquel

The sky is getting lower. Literally. In 2026, SpaceX will begin moving around 4,400 Starlink satellites to a lower orbit, descending from 550 to roughly 480 kilometers above Earth. The official justification is space safety: fewer collision risks, faster reentry in case of failure, and adaptation to the solar cycle. At first glance, the decision seems purely technical. In reality, it says far more about the current stage of humanity’s relationship with space than about orbital physics.

When We Lost The Balance

When We Lost The Balance

By Maria Raquel

The climate did not spiral out of control overnight. It was pushed, stretched, and ignored for decades until it responded in the only way possible: by exaggerating. Extreme heat in Brazil and out-of-pattern snowfall in New York are visible symptoms of a long process, not a sudden accident.

Dome At Risk

By Maria Raquel

The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that Chernobyl’s protective structure lost its primary safety functions after a drone strike in February. The dome, designed to last a century and contain radioactive dust from the 1986 accident, now requires urgent repairs. It is the kind of event that brings classroom physics into real life with the subtle reminder: “yes, this is why we study these things.”

The Limits Of Green

The Limits Of Green

By Maria Raquel

The case of the family living in isolation in Abruzzo, Italy, who lost custody of their three children, brought back a debate many people prefer to avoid: how far can self-sufficient living go before it clashes with a child’s basic rights?

Cop30: A First Week Where Climate Finally Became Grown-Up Business

Cop30: A First Week Where Climate Finally Became Grown-Up Business

By Maria Raquel

COP30 opened in Belém like someone stepping into an old house full of stories, cicada noise, and humid air. Between boats, plenary rooms, and crowded hallways, the first week was less about speeches and more about a simple message: it is time to deliver what has already been promised. That “now it goes” atmosphere set the tone for almost everything that happened.
