The “big one” might not come alone: Two major West Coast faults may strike back to back
A study of deep-sea sediments suggests the Cascadia subduction zone and San Andreas fault may rupture within minutes or hours of each other, potentially creating simultaneous disasters across multiple West Coast cities.
A broken rib from the world’s largest T. rex hid a 66-million-year-old secret
Researchers used advanced neutron imaging to examine a fractured rib from Scotty, the world’s largest T. rex, revealing fossilized blood vessels preserved from 66 million years ago.
These medieval graves looked like family burials. DNA told a different story
A Stockholm University study analyzing DNA from medieval graves found that adults and children buried together were often not biological family members, challenging long-held archaeological assumptions.
1.7-billion-year-old fossils reveal a crucial clue to the rise of complex life
Newly studied 1.7-billion-year-old fossils from Australia suggest early eukaryotes depended on oxygen, offering clues to how complex life evolved on Earth.
New soil test could reveal how soil microbes help feed plants
Researchers have developed a simpler, more affordable method to measure DNA-bound phosphorus in soil, potentially improving understanding of how microbes help plants access this critical nutrient.
The LHC just ruled out another hiding place for quantum black holes
Physicists at UC Santa Barbara found no evidence of quantum black holes in Large Hadron Collider experiments, but the null result provides valuable constraints on where such particles could exist.
This new concrete is stronger and pulls CO2 from the air
Engineers developed a concrete mixture containing zeolite and bamboo biochar that is stronger than conventional concrete while capturing CO2 from the atmosphere, potentially advancing sustainable construction practices.
Humpback whale mother may have mourned her dead calf for days
Researchers observed a humpback whale mother remaining beside her deceased calf off the Gold Coast, potentially for days, offering insights into how these animals may respond to loss.
One of America’s largest reservoirs just hit a record low
Lake Powell, the second-largest U.S. reservoir, reached record-low water levels in late August and early September following minimal snowpack and warm conditions across the Colorado Basin during 2026.
There are still nearly pristine coral reefs. They’re a blueprint for coral restoration
Pristine coral reefs at Palmyra Atoll in the remote Pacific Ocean are providing crucial insights into reef recovery and restoration strategies for scientists worldwide.
Stonehenge’s 6-ton altar stone may have traveled from Scotland by glacier
Researchers propose that Stonehenge’s six-ton Altar Stone may have traveled from Scotland via glaciers to the North Sea before being transported overland by Neolithic people to its current location.
First stellar stream beyond the Milky Way could reveal dark matter
Astronomers have detected the first globular cluster stellar stream outside the Milky Way, found within an ultra-diffuse galaxy. This breakthrough enables scientists to use stellar streams as tracers to measure dark matter in galaxies beyond our own.
The Arctic sea ice melt season grew longer for decades, but something strange happened around 2010
Arctic sea ice melt season expanded 40 days since 1979, but growth unexpectedly plateaued around 2010 despite continued regional warming, according to a NASA-led study.
These tropical trees breathe at night to survive drought
Researchers have discovered how tropical Clusia trees evolved an efficient nighttime photosynthesis strategy through ancient genome duplication, offering insights for developing drought-resistant crops.
Millions of heads of lettuce ruined by aphid outbreak
A record aphid outbreak is destroying approximately 30 million heads of lettuce in the UK, with growers facing £10 million in losses as the pests devastate end-of-season crops.
Blood tests find high levels of cancer-causing forever chemical in residents near factory
Blood tests reveal elevated levels of cancer-causing PFOA in dozens of residents near a UK chemical factory, with 70% showing readings suggesting increased health risks.
