Scientists have confirmed that a fossil stored in a drawer for 40 years is the first dinosaur bone ever discovered in Antarctica, a tail vertebra from a Titanosaur found in 1985.

A study reveals that sand and gravel extraction from riverbeds has more than doubled in two decades, outpacing natural replenishment and causing riverbank degradation, groundwater depletion, and water quality issues.

A 10-year-old boy discovered a fossilized whale skull at Portmuck Harbour in Islandmagee, believed to date back approximately 3,000 years to the Bronze Age based on accompanying flint tools.

The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector recorded a single particle interaction that scientists cannot fully explain using known background signals, marking the most compelling potential dark matter signal the experiment has reported.

Astronomers identified faint remnant radio galaxies that fade faster than expected after their central black holes stop producing powerful jets, offering new insights into radio galaxy evolution.

A new study finds that deliberately extending exhalations increases heart rate variability and makes the brain more responsive to rewards, leading to bolder decision-making choices.

Extreme drought now affects 44% of Puerto Rico as of late August, with three-quarters of the territory experiencing at least moderate drought conditions after an unusually dry wet season.

A new study challenges previous theories about how bonnethead shark head shapes develop, finding both males and females start with pointed heads that become rounder with age.

Researchers studying zirconium pentatelluride discovered unexpected quantum oscillations that persist beyond theoretical limits, revealing how electron spin and orbital motion interact in exotic materials near topological phase transitions.

UC San Diego researchers demonstrated that an enzyme crucial to gene expression can accurately read and transcribe an eight-letter genetic code instead of the four letters found in all natural life.
