Black holes older than the Big Bang could explain dark matter
Researchers propose that black holes created before the Big Bang may have survived into today’s Universe through a cosmic bounce model, potentially explaining dark matter and early galaxy formation.
King Harold may have lost England by backing the wrong pope
University of East Anglia research suggests England’s support for a rival papal faction may have influenced Pope Alexander II to back William of Normandy’s invasion in 1066.
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.
Cassini reveals a surprising twist in Saturn’s magnetic shield
Scientists examining Cassini mission data have discovered that Saturn’s magnetospheric cusp is positioned differently than Earth’s due to the planet’s rapid rotation and magnetic environment.
Voyager 2 was running out of power. NASA just bought it more time
NASA engineers implemented a power-saving procedure on Voyager 2, freeing up additional electricity to extend the aging spacecraft’s scientific operations for at least one more year.
240-million-year-old reptile fossil reveals a lost chapter before dinosaurs and crocodiles
Researchers in Brazil discovered a 240-million-year-old fossil reptile species that fills evolutionary gaps in the lineage leading to dinosaurs and crocodiles.
Scientists discover a hidden switch inside silver nanocatalysts
Researchers discovered that silver nanocatalysts in solid oxide cells switch their operation location depending on whether the device generates electricity or produces hydrogen, offering new design strategies for clean energy technology.
The adult brain can repair itself better than scientists thought
Researchers at the University of Zurich discovered that adult brains can repair astrocyte damage through specialized cells that transport nuclei to injured regions, challenging prior assumptions about brain regeneration.
Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered a simpler, earlier version of Stonehenge three miles away, consisting of two wooden posts aligned with solar solstices and dating back approximately 5,000 years.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
Researchers have confirmed that a fossil discovered in 1985 and stored in a drawer for 40 years is Antarctica’s first known dinosaur bone, a tail vertebra from a long-necked Titanosaur.
Chemists set electrons free and break a decades-old chemistry barrier
Chemists have developed a catalyst that releases electrons directly into solution, overcoming a longstanding limitation in single-electron transfer reactions and enabling previously inaccessible chemical pathways.
Scientists discover bacteria that lock toxic uranium into a stable form
Scientists discovered that bacteria can transform dissolved uranium into a stable chemical compound using glycerol as a food source, potentially enabling future environmental cleanup efforts.
60,000-year-old ostrich eggshell engravings reveal a surprisingly sophisticated human mind
Archaeologists discovered more than 60,000-year-old engraved ostrich eggshells in southern Africa featuring organized geometric patterns, suggesting sophisticated abstract thinking in early humans.
‘You’re hit with a slam of shadow’: Nasa’s air mission to capture rare eclipse data
NASA researchers will fly a specialized aircraft at 50,000 feet to chase a total solar eclipse and capture rare imagery of the sun’s corona and plasma phenomena.
The secret hidden in these ancient manuscripts isn’t written in ink
Scientists have developed a non-destructive method to recover genetic material from historic parchment manuscripts, enabling analysis of DNA that could reveal details about ancient trade, agriculture, and livestock evolution.
