In an @eapsMIT lab, a team of geophysicists created "lab quakes," a series of miniature, controlled versions of real earthquakes to see where all that destructive energy actually goes and what it’s doing via @VICE vice.com/en/article/onl…

Warming oceans may threaten one of the most abundant photosynthetic organisms in the ocean. Paper author EAPS and CS3 researcher Stephanie Dutkiewicz says we need to rethink how we model phytoplankton responses to climate change. buff.ly/Fs8FO1z

New observations of TRAPPIST-1e have ruled out several possible atmospheric conditions, including carbon dioxide-heavy ones similar to Mars or Venus. If it does have an atmosphere, it may be more similar to the nitrogen-rich one of Saturn's moon, Titan. buff.ly/LAlcNwd

Bigger isn't always better: new research shows that simpler, physics-based models can generate more accurate weather and climate predictions for certain scenarios than larger deep-learning models, but there's still potential in deep-learning. buff.ly/3MjQDjr

"We consider water to be required for life because that is what’s needed for Earth life. But if we look at a more general definition, we see that what we need is a liquid in which metabolism for life can take place," says Rachana Agrawal, @eapsMIT postdoc news.mit.edu/2025/planets-w…

What does habitability look like on a planet without water? A new study shows that ionic liquids can form on planets that can't sustain liquid water. And while it may not look like water-based life that we know, ionic liquids could also support life. buff.ly/sjFMk9D
