Andean mountain building and magmatic arc migration driven by subduction-induced whole mantle flow

The Andean orogeny commenced in the Cretaceous, but was preceded by backarc extension starting in the Jurassic. Here, the author presents a 4D geodynamic subduction model reproducing the evolution of overriding plate deformation along with a progressive decrease in slab dip, explaining Jurassic-present arc migration.

Pacific subduction control on Asian continental deformation including Tibetan extension and eastward extrusion tectonics

The India-Asia collision has formed the highest mountains on Earth and is associated with extensive intraplate deformation. Here, the authors present geodynamic experiments of continental deformation across Central, East, and Southeast Asia which suggest that the Pacfic and Sunda subduction zones played an active role during intraplate deformation.

Needle-like structures discovered on positively charged lightning branches

Radio interferometric observations of lightning over the Netherlands reveal small needle-shaped plasma structures associated with the positive leader channels, explaining why cloud-to-ground lightning connects to the ground multiple times.

A large light-mass component of cosmic rays at 10¹⁷–10^17.5 electronvolts from radio observations

High-resolution radio measurements of air showers—cascades of secondary particles in the atmosphere initiated by cosmic rays—reveal that cosmic rays with energies of 10¹⁷–10^17.5 electronvolts have a mixed composition, with light elements (protons and helium nuclei) making up 80 per cent of their mass.
