因特朗普政府削减了 NASA 预算，难以兑现提供合成孔径雷达的承诺，欧洲 ESA 将独立推进金星探索项目 Envision。Envision 轨道探测器任务旨在对金星表面进行测绘，由于金星表面被厚厚的硫酸云层笼罩，需要使用雷达穿透云层。NASA 与 ESA 于 2024 年签署了一份谅解备忘录，NASA 提供美制合成孔径雷达，通过其深空网络提供跟踪与通信支持。作为交换，ESA 将把美国研究人员纳入其团队。然而 2026 年和 2027

在毁灭性的泥石流之后，尼泊尔正利用大疆无人机运送遇难者遗体，向幸存者运送食物。尼泊尔军方正使用中国捐赠的四架大疆 FlyCart 100 无人机，每天执行 10-16 次物资运送任务。FlyCart 100 配备了约 30 米长的绳索和绞盘系统，可用于吊装和投放重物。根据电池配置的不同，无人机载重能力在 85-100 公斤之间。尼泊尔军方使用无人机每趟运送约 60 公斤的物资，它也能将遇难者遗体从部分受灾严重的地区运送出来。截至 9 月
根据 Turku 大学的一项研究，远程办公增加了睡眠时间但减少了身体活动。研究人员分析了混合办公者在远程办公和去办公室办公之间的睡眠、久坐行为及身体活动差异。结果显示，相比去办公室办公，远程办公日的平均睡眠时间多了 15分钟，但坐姿或卧姿时间增加了 45 分钟。站立、轻度身体活动以及中高强度身体活动的时间都有所减少。研究还显示，办公室办公日的步行和骑行活动，在远程办公日部分被坐姿、卧姿和睡眠所取代，因为远程办公不需要通勤。

中国各地分布着逾 12,000 座废弃煤矿，这些煤矿拥有巨大的地下空间和完善的基础设施，具备改造利用的潜力。太原理工大学、山西省煤基资源绿色高效开发工程中心等机构的研究人员在《中国矿业》期刊上发表论文，提议利用废弃煤矿展开农业试验。废弃煤矿的一个显而易见的缺陷是缺乏农作物所必须的阳光和降雨，但优点是地下环境能精确调控，不受天气波动、气候变化及自然灾害的影响。研究人员称，“在全球气候变化加剧及极端与封闭环境农业需求不断增长的背景下，探索煤

很多人的智能手机上可能仍然安装了约会软件，但打开频率日益下降。2026 年的一项 Harris 民调显示，三分之二的单身人士没有使用过约会软件，而八成美国人将现实生活中认识某个人视为“可爱”或“酷”。约会软件承诺提供丰富的选择：成百上千的潜在伴侣，足不出户即可触达。但这种丰富性也带来了新的负担。每次使用都需要用户做出一系列繁琐的决定——是否滑动屏幕、发起对话、维持对话、安排约会，还是继续寻找更合适的人。研究表明，这个过程会让人精疲力竭。
欧盟哥白尼气候变化服务中心（C3S）公布的数据显示，2026 年 8 月是全球有记录以来最热的月份，与 2023 年 7 月并列第一。这一记录是气候变化与厄尔尼诺影响增强共同驱动的。8 月气温比工业化前水平高 1.65C，超过了世界各国为避免气候变化最严重后果而商定的 1.5C 阈值。单月气温超过 1.5C 并不意味着这一阈值已被永久突破，但显示出一种逼近该限制的趋势。今年夏天也是西欧有记录以来最热的夏天。
