Weather observations in Russia have been carried out since 1891.
Leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, Mikhail Leus, called the summer of 2026 in Russia the warmest in the history of regular weather observations. He wrote about this in the Telegram channel.
According to Leus, the hot weather spared Moscow and St. Petersburg, but in many other regions of Russia the summer season broke temperature records. In particular, record figures were recorded in the Urals and Siberia.
“Across the country, the summer of 2026 became the warmest in the history of regular weather observations, that is, since 1891. On Asian territory, last summer was also the warmest in the recorded history,” he noted.
The expert noted that the summer was also record warm in Canada, the USA, Europe and North Africa.

Researchers from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have created a technology for replacing strength training with an injection with myografts. The method can help bedridden patients and elderly people, and in the future it can become available to Russians after testing.

Researchers from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an injection technology to replace muscle cell-based strength training. The method can help bedridden patients, and in the future become available to healthy people.

The Ig Nobel Prize was awarded for the 36th time in Zurich for research that first makes you laugh and then makes you think. The laureates studied the biomechanics of kissing, the aerodynamics of blowing your nose, the behavior of rich people, snakes, cockroach milk and other unusual topics. This was the first time the ceremony was held outside the United States due to stricter visa policies.

Scientists found that semaglutide, an anti-diabetes and obesity drug, extended the life of elderly female mice by nearly 100 days and improved their muscle and cognitive function, while reducing signs of aging such as chronic inflammation and decreased tissue regeneration. The drug also replicated the effects of a low-calorie diet, but with added benefits in some areas. However, the results were only obtained in mice and cannot be directly translated to humans.

In the Tavrida cave in Crimea, over eight years of excavations, three tons of bones of prehistoric animals of the early Pleistocene were discovered, including the skull of a giant hyena and the bones of saber-toothed cats. The research is carried out by specialists from the Paleontological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and a temporary exhibition is open in the Paleontological Museum of Moscow.

Leading researcher at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS Sergei Yazev warned that if the gravitational correction of the trajectory fails in September 2024, the European interplanetary probe JUICE may collide with the Earth. A successful maneuver requires filigree precision. The device, launched in April 2023 on an Ariane 5 rocket, should undergo a series of maneuvers near Earth and Venus by 2029, reach Jupiter by mid-2031 and conduct 35 flybys of its moons, before entering Ganymede orbit by the end of 2034. The main goal of the mission is to search for conditions suitable for life on the moons of Jupiter.
