Marine heatwaves are harming human health in surprising ways
Researchers warn that marine heatwaves pose significant threats to human health through stronger storms, contaminated seafood, and mental health impacts in coastal communities.
A black hole shredded a “super sun” — but something strange may have survived
Astronomers observed a black hole destroying a massive star in an extraordinarily energetic event, releasing energy 400 billion times greater than Earth’s Sun, with unexpected remnants suggesting a potentially bound structure survived.
A new Ice Age species was hiding in la brea tar pits fossils for decades
Researchers at La Brea Tar Pits have identified a previously unknown Ice Age amphibian species, the extinct spadefoot toad Spea labreae, offering insights into ancient climate conditions.
Scientists reveal why walking gets so much harder with age
Australian researchers found that older adults adopt a “safety-first” walking strategy that prioritizes stability over efficiency, causing slower speeds and increased fatigue as muscles work harder with each step.
Physicists discover a hidden gluon structure inside protons that could rewrite textbooks
Physicists at RHIC discovered evidence that gluons, not just quarks, may carry baryon number in protons, challenging decades-old textbook assumptions about proton structure.
Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered a simpler, earlier version of Stonehenge about 3 miles away, consisting of two wooden posts aligned with solstices, predating the famous monument by 500 years.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
A dinosaur tail bone discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and forgotten in a storage drawer for four decades has been confirmed as the first dinosaur fossil ever found on the continent.
“Cannot be explained” – New super steel stuns scientists
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong developed a corrosion-resistant stainless steel that could reduce green hydrogen production costs by replacing expensive titanium components in electrolyzers.
Scientists find evidence for two origins of life on Earth
An international research team found evidence that life on Earth may have originated independently twice, with bacteria and archaea emerging separately about 4 billion years ago from hydrothermal vents.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
A dinosaur tail bone discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and stored in a drawer for four decades has been identified as the first dinosaur fossil ever found on the continent.
Ancient DNA analysis reveals Wiltshire’s Upton Lovell Shaman was a woman
Ancient DNA analysis reveals the Upton Lovell Shaman, a 4,000-year-old Bronze Age individual long depicted as male, was actually female, challenging assumptions about women’s roles in prehistoric metalworking.
The mysterious hum heard around the world may finally have an explanation
Researchers studying a mysterious global humming sound reported by millions propose that most cases stem from low-frequency tinnitus originating within the ear rather than external sources.
Astronomers find the first atmosphere on a rocky world in the habitable zone
Astronomers detected an atmosphere around a rocky, Earth-like planet in another star’s habitable zone, marking the first confirmed atmosphere on such a world orbiting a distant star.
In a first, Chinese woman wins the prestigious Fields Medal
Hong Wang became the first Chinese woman to win the Fields Medal, the world’s most prestigious mathematics prize. She and fellow Chinese mathematician Yu Deng were among four recipients honored this year.
The best way to save giant sequoias may be more fire
A UC Davis study finds giant sequoias treated with prescribed burns over the past decade were nearly four times more likely to survive devastating 2020-2021 California wildfires than untreated trees.
The science of soulmates: is there someone out there exactly right for you?
Scientists challenge the soulmate myth, suggesting that successful relationships result from deliberate effort rather than destiny, with research showing growth-minded couples stay more committed through conflict.
Wally Funk obituary
Wally Funk, a pioneering aviator who broke barriers for women in aviation for eight decades, died at 87. She became the oldest woman in space at 82 aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard in 2021.
New quantum gravity theory links entropy, dark energy, and life
A new theoretical framework proposes that gravity and entropy may be fundamentally linked, potentially explaining how complexity emerges in the Universe while entropy increases.
Scientists trace the shocking origin of human eyes to an ancient “cyclops”
Scientists propose that vertebrate ancestors passed through a cyclop-like stage nearly 600 million years ago with a single central eye that eventually evolved into paired eyes seen today.
Hidden genetic diversity helped inbred brown tree snakes conquer guam
Researchers using advanced DNA sequencing discovered that brown tree snakes in Guam possess far more genetic diversity than previously thought, revealing thousands of previously undetected structural variants that may explain their rapid population expansion.
After record heat, could the Atlantic make Britain’s weather even more extreme?
Scientists are investigating whether the Atlantic Ocean’s major current system may be weakening or shifting due to climate change, with potential consequences for European weather patterns and global climate impacts.
