Scientists find an “earthquake gate” as California fault stress hits a 1,000-year high
Scientists report that tectonic stress along Southern California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults has reached 1,000-year highs, with Cajon Pass acting as an “earthquake gate” that may determine whether a large rupture remains confined to one fault or spans both systems.
Scientists just pushed superconductors beyond their usual current limit
Scientists used ultrafast electrical pulses lasting picoseconds to push superconductors beyond their typical current limits, revealing previously hidden quantum properties of different superconducting materials.
The early universe wasn’t nearly as pristine as scientists thought
Early galaxies were dispersing heavy elements like carbon and oxygen into surrounding space much sooner than previously expected, according to new research using the James Webb Space Telescope.
Baby girls’ greater interest in faces offers clue to nature v nurture debate
A new study finds baby girls spend more time looking at faces than boys do, suggesting some behavioral differences between sexes may be present at birth rather than shaped by culture.
How opencast mining risks reawakening dormant geological faults
Opencast mining in western Germany triggered subsidence up to 20km away and reactivated dormant geological faults, according to new research published in Engineering Geology.
Glimpses into lives of Roman suburbanites in Bath revealed in rare finds
Archaeological excavation beneath Bath Assembly Rooms has revealed a network of Roman ditches containing pottery, coins, glassware, and a military helmet fragment, expanding understanding of Roman occupation in the city.
DNA database of UK dogs could help police collar criminals
Researchers in the UK are developing a DNA database of dogs to help police investigations, analyzing canine material found at crime scenes to identify breeds or match specific animals to incidents.
Spacecraft returns to Earth after rescue mission for ageing Nasa telescope fails
A commercial spacecraft launched to rescue NASA’s aging Swift Observatory failed its mission and re-entered Earth’s atmosphere Friday, with the telescope expected to follow within weeks.
Gene-edited bananas that don’t go brown could hit UK supermarkets
Gene-edited bananas that resist browning have cleared a regulatory hurdle in the UK, potentially reaching supermarkets soon and reducing food waste along supply chains.
New soil test could reveal how soil microbes help feed plants
Researchers have developed a simpler, less expensive method to measure DNA-bound phosphorus in soil, potentially improving understanding of how soil microbes influence nutrient availability for plants.
This 245-million-year-old fossil still has its stomach and intestines
Scientists have discovered a 245-million-year-old fossil of a small marine reptile that preserves a nearly complete digestive system, the oldest known example in any reptile.
Quantum teleportation breakthrough: Scientists crack a 25-year entanglement challenge
Scientists developed a new method for measuring W-state quantum entanglement, a breakthrough that could advance quantum computing, communication, and information transfer technologies.
Gold beetles to Darwin’s finds – the 70 million museum artefacts going online
UK researchers are digitizing approximately 70 million natural specimens using AI and robots, making museum collections accessible online to accelerate scientific understanding of environmental change and biodiversity.
Sharks can hear nearly 250 feet away and pinpoint the source
Florida Atlantic University researchers found that blacktip sharks can detect sounds from up to 243 feet away and pinpoint their direction, providing the first quantified evidence of this ability in free-swimming sharks.
NASA’s Curiosity rover just hit 5,000 days on Mars and sent back this stunning view
NASA’s Curiosity rover reached 5,000 Martian days on the Red Planet and captured a striking panoramic view combining morning and afternoon images with artistic color enhancement.
Rare Bog Grass Moth species found in Gwynedd nature reserve
A rare Bog Grass Moth species has been discovered at Cors Geirch National Nature Reserve in Gwynedd, Wales, marking the first recorded sighting in the area during conservation surveys.
‘Hugely exciting’ finds on tiny Scottish island shed light on spread of Christianity
Archaeological excavations on the Scottish island of Lismore have uncovered evidence of a major sixth-century monastery, revealing it was an important early Christian site comparable to Iona.
Nasa heads to Scottish Highlands in its search for life on Mars
NASA scientists are studying rocks in the Scottish Highlands to better understand potential signs of ancient microbial life on Mars, following the Perseverance rover’s discovery of possible biosignatures.
Bats may have first evolved in Europe 65 million years ago
New research combining genomic data from all living bat families with fossil evidence suggests bats likely originated in Europe approximately 65 to 60 million years ago, reshaping long-standing scientific debates about mammalian flight evolution.
Pompeii’s 2,000-year-old eruption just gave scientists a better clock for Earth’s past
Researchers have used the historical date of Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in 79 CE to significantly improve argon-argon dating, a key technique for determining the ages of volcanic rocks and geological events.
Black hole jets may decide the fate of entire galaxies
Researchers found that jets from supermassive black holes can ionize gas in galaxies’ outer regions, potentially controlling star formation across hundreds of thousands of light-years.
