A paper in Nature presents evidence of the highest-energy cosmic neutrino detected to date. Its energy is estimated to be around 30 times higher than any neutrino previously detected.

The result, reported by the KM3NeT Collaboration, suggests that the particle came from beyond our Milky Way, although its precise origin remains to be determined.

Two papers in Nature Climate Change explore the potential likelihood of exceeding the Paris Agreement goals of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial temperatures.

Both papers suggest that exceeding 1.5 °C in 2024 may indicate that we have entered a multi-decadal period of 1.5 °C average global warming and that stringent climate mitigation efforts are needed to keep the Paris Agreement goals within reach.
