Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered an earlier, simpler version of Stonehenge three miles away, consisting of two wooden posts aligned with solar solstices, dated to approximately 5,000 years old.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
A dinosaur tail bone discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and forgotten in a drawer for four decades has been confirmed as the continent’s first dinosaur fossil, belonging to a long-necked Titanosaur.
Rich people more likely to steal children’s sweets, finds Ig Nobel prize-winning study
A study on wealth and behavior won the economics Ig Nobel prize, finding that wealthier individuals were more likely to take candy meant for children and engage in other socially irresponsible conduct.
Global warming is breaking a 400-year climate link between two oceans
A new study shows that the climate connection between the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans is being disrupted by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions in ways unprecedented over the past 400 years.
Back-to-back Arctic storms can double sea ice loss
Research shows Arctic cyclones arriving in rapid succession can double sea ice loss compared to isolated storms, with effects potentially intensified as warming thins and weakens ice coverage.
Giant lion’s mane jellyfish caught on camera off Pembrokeshire coast
A free diver in Pembrokeshire filmed a giant lion’s mane jellyfish measuring 10 to 15 metres off the Welsh coast, marking the first sighting of the species he has recorded in Wales.
Supermassive black hole winds are 100 times more powerful than scientists thought
New observations reveal that supermassive black hole winds carry 100 times more energy than previously estimated, extending roughly 300,000 light-years beyond their host galaxies.
The shape behind the Einstein problem just revealed strange new physics
Researchers have discovered that optical structures based on the Smith hat mathematical shape produce unusual chiral light patterns, revealing new physics at the intersection of geometry and optics.
UV light reveals possible camouflage on a 125-million-year-old crocodile
Scientists studying a 125-million-year-old crocodile fossil from Spain used ultraviolet light to reveal preserved soft tissues, possible sensory organs, and evidence of camouflage coloring on its tail.
NASA’s Swift telescope is back, but time is running out
NASA’s Swift Observatory has resumed observations with two of its three instruments after plans for an orbital boost were scaled back due to technical issues with a planned service spacecraft.
September brings a dazzling Venus and a glowing Harvest Moon
September offers skywatchers a busy celestial calendar including peak Venus brightness, the Harvest Moon near Saturn and Neptune, the autumn equinox, and the Moon as a guide to Antares and the Milky Way.
Scientists just overturned a century-old physics assumption
Carnegie Mellon researchers demonstrated an in-plane anomalous Hall effect that contradicts a century-old assumption, revealing that magnetic responses can occur in multiple directions within a single device.
NASA scientists discover a giant 10-sided pattern on Saturn
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a massive 10-sided wave pattern circling Saturn’s south pole, marking the first large regularly shaped jet structure observed in that hemisphere.
Ancient “living fossils” may reveal how complex life began
A study of stromatolites in Australia reveals previously unknown microbes that may illuminate how complex life evolved from simpler cellular forms billions of years ago.
How a fly brain may help explain the secrets of human behaviour
Researchers mapped all nerve connections in male and female fruit fly brains, identifying wiring differences linked to aggression, courtship, and singing behaviors that could illuminate genetic influences on human conditions.
Scientists map key protein interactions linked with profound autism
Scientists mapped over 1,000 protein interactions linked to profound autism genes, revealing shared biological pathways that could lead to new treatments for this severe developmental condition.
Museum of Chelmsford taxidermy bear helps tackle wildlife crime
A taxidermy bear on display at the Museum of Chelmsford is contributing to forensic research aimed at combating illegal wildlife poaching through hair analysis techniques.
AI can now control fusion plasma faster than humans can react
Researchers at Princeton developed PACMAN, an AI framework that controls fusion plasma instabilities in milliseconds—far faster than human operators can respond—while maintaining safety and human oversight.
Scientists challenge a 70-year-old “lizard brain” myth
Scientists challenge the decades-old “lizard brain” theory, suggesting brain evolution involves competition between different neural wiring systems rather than newer layers stacking on older ones.
A “quantum bath” puts quantum entanglement on autopilot
Physicists at Austria’s Institute of Science and Technology demonstrated a fully autonomous method for creating distributed entanglement between distant quantum bits using a quantum bath of correlated light particles.
Scientists find a human-only gene that may help explain our brainpower
Scientists discovered that human-specific copies of a gene called SRGAP2 slow the development of microglia, the brain’s immune cells, potentially contributing to enhanced human cognitive abilities.
