Glimpses into lives of Roman suburbanites in Bath revealed in rare finds
Restoration work at Bath Assembly Rooms has uncovered Roman ditches containing pottery, coins, and a military helmet fragment, expanding knowledge of Roman occupation in the northern part of the city.
These 6 charts show how NIH research funding has been reshaped under Trump
The NIH’s total budget remains stable, but delays in obligating funds and additional grant reviews have disrupted research timelines, forcing scientists to halt experiments and scale back operations.
Hundreds of wildflowers to be planted in Little Asby conservation boost
An environmental charity plans to plant 1,500 wildflowers at an upland meadow in Cumbria to restore native species and support local wildlife habitats.
Two astronauts who flew farther than anyone before are taking new NASA roles
NASA astronauts Victor Glover and Reid Wiseman, who flew farther than anyone before on Artemis II, are transitioning to emeritus status to mentor current employees and support future lunar missions.
Bumblebee project seeking to ‘turn the tide’ for rare UK species
The Bumblebee Conservation Trust is launching a £907,000 three-year project to protect the Moss carder bumblebee, one of the UK’s most threatened species, across multiple regions.
Climate crisis probably weakened glacier that caused devastating Nepal-Tibet floods, first study finds
A scientific study found that climate breakdown likely weakened a glacier that collapsed last month in Nepal and Tibet, triggering catastrophic floods that killed over 1,000 people.
The Solar System chose fire over ice from the very beginning
New research reveals that the Solar System preferentially incorporated heat-formed chondrules over cold, icy dust during its earliest formation stages, with planetesimals composed of 83-92% chondrules within the first million years.
How opencast mining risks reawakening dormant geological faults
Opencast mining in western Germany has triggered extensive subsidence up to 12 miles away and reactivated dormant geological faults, causing infrastructure damage in surrounding communities.
Scientists discovered two bizarre new sea spiders that are “nightmare fuel”
University of British Columbia researchers identified two previously unknown sea spider species in the Salish Sea, including one with hairy legs and striking red eyes, marking the first new species formally described from the region in nearly a century.
Einstein’s “spooky action” just survived one of physics’ most extreme tests
Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have demonstrated that quantum entanglement persists in heavy, short-lived particles called Z bosons, confirming Einstein’s counterintuitive quantum phenomenon under extreme conditions.
A 66-million-year-old tooth reveals T. rex was nearly as warm as a human
Researchers measured a fossilized T. rex tooth and determined the dinosaur maintained a body temperature of approximately 97 degrees Fahrenheit, comparable to modern humans and supporting evidence of warm-blooded metabolism.
Scientists opened a sealed envelope after 10 years. Gravity still didn’t make sense
After a decade of experiments, physicists opened a sealed envelope containing the gravitational constant measurement, only to find their result disagreed with previous measurements, deepening a longstanding puzzle in fundamental physics.
New nanoparticles make hidden chemical differences light up
University of Toronto engineers developed nanoparticles that detect chemicals at extremely low concentrations and distinguish nearly identical molecules, producing bright optical signals useful for pharmaceutical and environmental applications.
Scientists may have solved a 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls mystery
A Tel Aviv University study proposes that the Qumran sect actively used its unusual 364-day calendar during its early history before abandoning it due to astronomical drift and political changes.
Scientists discover a hidden “ID card” in cat urine
Researchers identify 13 branched-chain fatty acids in cat urine that form unique profiles for individual cats, potentially serving as lasting chemical identifiers in feline communication.
A giant crater may reveal the origin of Mars’ doomed moon
Scientists are studying Mars’ moon Phobos and its giant Stickney Crater to determine whether the moon formed from debris after a massive impact on Mars or was captured as an asteroid.
New chemical wipes out 95% of termites without harming humans
Researchers at UC Riverside found that bistrifluron, a chemical that disrupts insect exoskeleton formation, kills western drywood termites with 95-99% efficiency in laboratory tests without harming humans.
Hurricane Hunters reveal 4 warning signs that a storm is about to strengthen
Researchers identified four features that help tilted tropical cyclones align vertically and intensify, potentially allowing forecasters to provide communities with earlier warning time.
This new concrete is stronger and pulls CO2 from the air
Engineers have developed a new concrete that is stronger than conventional concrete while also capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to research published in Carbon Research.
One of America’s largest reservoirs just hit a record low
Lake Powell, the second-largest U.S. reservoir, hit record-low levels in late August and early September due to reduced snowpack and warm conditions across the Colorado Basin in 2026.
The Solar System chose fire over ice from the very beginning
New research shows that the earliest planetary bodies in the Solar System preferentially incorporated heat-formed chondrules over cold, icy dust during the first million years of formation, revealing a highly selective assembly process.
