- The slush has tunnels and water pockets.
- Some pockets could be warm enough for life.
- The surface of Titan has liquid methane.
- Researchers measured how Titan moves with Saturn.
- A future mission will study Titan more.

The African Academy of Sciences warns that too little scientific evidence produced in Africa makes policy and trade harder. The AAS is building networks, starting a science diplomacy programme and trying to restore trust after funding problems.
Molecule stores sunlight and releases heat on demand
Chemists at UC Santa Barbara designed a modified molecule called pyrimidone that captures sunlight, stores it in chemical bonds and releases it as heat when triggered. Tests released enough heat to boil water under normal conditions.
When a Star Is Torn Apart by a Black Hole
A new study explains how a star that wanders too close to a supermassive black hole is stretched into a thin debris stream. Collisions and later accretion make bright flares called tidal disruption events (TDEs), which simulations now model in detail.
