Imagine a giant sunshade floating high above the Earth, blocking a small portion of sunlight. It may sound like science fiction, but scientists are seriously exploring whether this idea could help cool the planet temporarily. A recent study now suggests a surprising location for such a sunshade: the upper stratosphere, about 50 kilometers above the ground!☀️🌍️

The ocean now holds as much plastic as life 🌊🧴🪣

Research shows that our oceans are not only filled with microplastics, but also with even smaller particles: nanoplastics. This discovery is remarkable, as it helps explain where most of the “missing” plastic has gone.

For millions of years, life on Earth evolved through natural selection alone. But humans introduced a new force: artificial selection. Now, as technologies develop faster than biology can adapt, the rules are shifting once again.

This summer, Earth might spin through its shortest day ever, as its rotation unexpectedly speeds up. She seems to be in a rush and that throws off the rhythm we’ve come to depend on. 🌍️🌎️🌏️

Curious why Earth’s in a hurry? https://nextnature.org/en/magazine/story/2025/the-earth-is-spinning-faster-than-ever

From agriculture to firefighting, drones have become an integral part of our daily lives. But their role does not end there. What began as a flying assistant has evolved into a new fighter on the front lines, often with no human involved at all.

Scrolling or pausing? Digital well-being starts with you!📲

Technology has become invisible — precisely because it is everywhere. Just as fish don’t realize they’re swimming in water, we move through a digital ecosystem where notifications, screens, and algorithms feel as natural as air and light.

They’re already waiting on the shelf: futuristic blades, as if you could soon just buy yourself a new pair of legs. 🦿🦿

Paralympic athlete Fleur Jong uses a sport version of these blades. In early June, she jumped 6.86 meters, setting a new long jump world record. What if, one day, we could all just buy a pair and suddenly jumping 7.5 meters becomes achievable for everyone?

We live on a wondrous sphere: the Earth. 🌍️
But anyone today who explores the biosphere, technosphere, and mindsphere must first pass through a realm that is often forgotten – or worse: dismissed as boring. The geosphere, the dead, solid part of our planet. But what if this seemingly “lifeless” layer is actually the greatest mystery of all?

A car that charges itself with sunlight — it sounds like science fiction, but for Lex Hoefsloot and Koen van Ham, it’s been a reality for over a decade.☀️🚗

The Next Nature Museum recently added the iconic Lightyear's solar car to its collection of future objects. The car is showcased not only as a technological feat, but also as a symbol of our vision for the future: innovative, sustainable, and speculative.

Come see the car in real life at the Next Nature Museum in Eindhoven (NL), or read more in our latest article on the website: https://nextnature.org/en/magazine/story/2025/lightyear-a-sun-powered-dream-on-wheels?token=8c66a9d7f6bd154b61d6f31aefc0a3bd81d7bf75

This year marks the 55th anniversary of World Earth Day, and much has changed in our relationship with nature over that time. Take, for example, its latest challenge: artificial intelligence. But is AI really that harmful to nature? Or might it secretly have a lot of good to offer?🌐
