NASA’s Perseverance rover watches Earth vanish from the surface of Mars
NASA’s Perseverance rover captured Earth vanishing behind Phobos in the Martian sky on July 2, marking the first time humanity recorded Earth disappearing behind another object from a different planet’s surface.
A massive new cosmic map is revealing black holes, rare stars, and hidden gas
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V released Data Release 20, containing over three million spectra of stars and galaxies from both hemispheres, revealing black holes, rare stars, and interstellar gas across the cosmos.
Neptune’s tiny moons may be the wreckage of shattered ancient worlds
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope detected unexpected clay minerals on Neptune’s inner moons, suggesting they may be remnants of larger celestial bodies destroyed by the capture of the moon Triton.
Einstein’s biggest “mistake” came back — and changed cosmology forever
Einstein’s cosmological constant, once dismissed as his greatest mistake, has become central to modern cosmology after observations revealed the universe’s expansion is accelerating, not slowing.
Scientists may have finally proved that “empty” space isn’t really empty
Astronomers may have detected vacuum birefringence, a quantum phenomenon predicted nearly 90 years ago, by observing an extremely magnetic neutron star using specialized space telescopes.
After record heat, could the Atlantic make Britain’s weather even more extreme?
Scientists are monitoring the Atlantic’s ocean currents using robotic floats and satellite data to understand whether a major system influencing global climate could weaken or shift as the planet warms.
‘Real mummy’s curse’: health warning over growing trade in mummified human remains
Academics warn that a growing global trade in mummified human remains poses serious health risks from dormant microorganisms and toxic preservation materials, with items often transported through postal services without proper safety protocols.
Paleontology rocked by organic molecules found in 66-million-year-old dinosaur bones
Researchers detected remnants of collagen protein in a 66-million-year-old dinosaur hip bone, providing strong evidence that organic molecules can survive fossilization for tens of millions of years.
World’s first superconducting quantum heat engine could help unlock massive quantum computers
Researchers at Aalto University have demonstrated the world’s first superconducting quantum heat engine, which could advance quantum computing technology by improving how heat is managed in quantum systems.
Scientists turn sheep’s wool into a material that helps regrow bone
Scientists at King’s College London have developed a wool-based material containing keratin that successfully supported bone regeneration in animal tests, offering a sustainable alternative to current bone repair methods.
3,500-year-old skeletons challenge what scientists thought they knew about syphilis
A study of 3,500-year-old skeletal remains from Vietnam reveals that congenital transmission of treponemal disease may not be exclusive to venereal syphilis, challenging long-held assumptions about identifying ancient infections.
Scientists turn Starlink into a giant scanner for Earth’s upper atmosphere
Researchers at Kyoto University developed a technique using Starlink satellites and tomography to measure Earth’s upper atmosphere density, potentially improving satellite collision forecasting.
Vultures are disappearing in Nigeria – but the ‘vulture king’ and others are fighting back
Vulture populations across West Africa face near-extinction from hunting linked to traditional beliefs, but one Nigerian community protected by sacred forest status is successfully reversing the decline.
Roman shipwreck with 500 amphorae found off coast of Sicily
A 2,100-year-old Roman shipwreck carrying approximately 500 amphorae has been discovered off the coast of Sicily, described by Italy’s culture minister as one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries in recent years.
Astronomers discover a new kind of cosmic object – a black hole ‘star’
Astronomers have identified a new cosmic object called a black hole “star” spanning the size of the solar system, emitting 100 billion times more energy than known stars while displaying characteristics of both black holes and stars.
A stress hormone may help the brain repair itself
Researchers identified that a stress hormone called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) helps regulate brain cell maturation and myelin repair following injury in mice.
Immune cells flood into the aging brain, Stanford scientists discover
Stanford researchers discovered that immune cells from throughout the body enter the human brain during aging and transform into specialized brain immune cells, challenging decades of scientific assumptions about brain immunity.
Scientists solve the mystery of a brain “switch” that can trigger weight loss in opposite ways
Cambridge researchers found that activating and blocking the same brain receptor both promote weight loss through different mechanisms in different brain regions, offering insights for developing more effective obesity treatments.
A 60-year-old theory about ants, bees and wasps may be wrong
A new study challenges a 60-year-old theory that a genetic system in ants, bees and wasps explains their complex social organization, suggesting other biological traits may be more important.
A 30-year-old fossil was hiding bones from a mysterious ancient sea monster
Researchers uncovered four previously unidentified fossil bones from a mosasaur specimen stored for three decades, including the first confirmed premaxilla from a Japanese mosasaur that may represent a new species.
When gut microbes run low on fiber, they may start eating you
Two studies reveal how plant-based foods reshape gut bacteria metabolism, shifting production toward beneficial compounds while reducing harmful metabolites that may damage health.
