Devastating year for Switzerland’s glaciers
The Claridenfirn glacier in canton Glarus is completely free of snow in September 2026. Credit: M Huss. More than 5% of Swiss glacial ice vanished in 2026 following an exceptionally warm, dry summer, and a winter with little snow. Nearly 20% of Switzerland’s glacier...

Across cultures children help their peers, but in different ways
Although the ways in which children help their peers show subtle local nuances, the foundations of this behaviour are shared across cultures. Credit: © Henriette Zeidler. A new study by an international research team provides the first systematic, cross-cultural...

Black hole jets reaching far beyond their galaxies
Artist’s illustration of a supermassive black hole at the centre of a radio galaxy launching powerful jets (shown in pink) all the way into the galaxy’s CGM. The study finds that these jets do not light up the surrounding gas equally in all directions. Instead, the...

ABOUT US
ScienceVega and its accompanying website, sciencevega.com, exist to bring today’s science to tomorrow’s scientists. And it will do this in a way which is completely free to both school and pupil. The pathway from GCSE to A-level to degree to scientific career is not always obvious. Quite often it is ambiguous and not enough is done to show a fourteen-year-old the possibilities open to them in a decade’s time.
Many may harbour the vague idea of ‘saving the whales’, but how many know how to get there? How many realise that as they go along their focus might change? The draw of the ocean may remain, but how many realise that instead of studying whales, they actually add to our knowledge of disappearing corals in the Pacific Ocean? Or the marked drop off in populations of crustaceans unique to Western Australia? Or examining fish behaviours in the Indian Ocean? But those careers are there and ScienceVega will showcase them, along with the scientists, both established professors at the top of their field and young PhD scientists just starting out on their career paths.
