Archaeologists discovered a simpler wooden post structure near Stonehenge, dating back 5,000 years and also aligned with solar solstices, suggesting earlier celestial observation practices.

Researchers found that Earth microbes from deep-sea hydrothermal vents can survive conditions mimicking Saturn’s moon Enceladus’s subsurface ocean, suggesting the distant world may be habitable to microbial life.

Researchers have confirmed that a fossil stored in a drawer for 40 years is Antarctica’s first confirmed dinosaur bone, a tail vertebra from a Titanosaur discovered in 1985.

Predatory wasps are increasingly occupying hollow plant stems in Malaysian Borneo that evolved to shelter protective ant colonies, disrupting an ecological partnership lasting millions of years.

Scientists have captured detailed snapshots of how positively and negatively charged particles coordinate to transfer energy with exceptional efficiency, a fundamental process in photosynthesis and other biological reactions.

Scientists are studying how wildfire smoke affects birds across vast distances, establishing a new field called “smoke ecology” to understand the harm and potential solutions.

Physicists at CERN have detected quarks creating wakes as they travel through quark-gluon plasma, providing evidence that this primordial matter behaves as a unified fluid rather than isolated particles.

Archaeologists have traced decorated pottery found near Tampa Bay to Mississippian migrants who settled in the region centuries ago, resolving a century-old mystery about the vessels’ origins.

Scientists are using AI and biotechnology to recreate scents from endangered plants, potentially reducing pressure on wild species harvested for the fragrance industry.

Earth’s rotation varies by milliseconds as the planet’s liquid core and mantle exchange rotational momentum. A new study suggests gravitational interactions between the inner core and mantle masses may explain these subtle changes in day length.

Researchers discovered that ice particles ejected from Saturn’s moon Enceladus have surprisingly diverse chemical compositions, revealing unexpected details about how ocean water freezes as it travels toward space.

Researchers identified a material exhibiting altermagnetism, a magnetic state combining advantages of ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism that could enable faster, more energy-efficient computing through spin-based information processing.
