Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
Scientists have confirmed that a fossil stored in a drawer for 40 years is the first dinosaur bone ever discovered in Antarctica, a tail vertebra from a Titanosaur found in 1985.
Sand overextraction weakening riverbanks as concrete demand soars
A study reveals that sand and gravel extraction from riverbeds has more than doubled in two decades, outpacing natural replenishment and causing riverbank degradation, groundwater depletion, and water quality issues.
Islandmagee: Bronze Age whale fossil found at Portmuck Harbour
A 10-year-old boy discovered a fossilized whale skull at Portmuck Harbour in Islandmagee, believed to date back approximately 3,000 years to the Bronze Age based on accompanying flint tools.
Dark matter detector finds a strange signal scientists can’t yet explain
The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector recorded a single particle interaction that scientists cannot fully explain using known background signals, marking the most compelling potential dark matter signal the experiment has reported.
Dying radio galaxies fade faster than scientists expected
Astronomers identified faint remnant radio galaxies that fade faster than expected after their central black holes stop producing powerful jets, offering new insights into radio galaxy evolution.
A longer exhale may push your brain toward bolder decisions
A new study finds that deliberately extending exhalations increases heart rate variability and makes the brain more responsive to rewards, leading to bolder decision-making choices.
Extreme drought now covers 44% of Puerto Rico
Extreme drought now affects 44% of Puerto Rico as of late August, with three-quarters of the territory experiencing at least moderate drought conditions after an unusually dry wet season.
Scientists overturn a theory about this shark’s strange head
A new study challenges previous theories about how bonnethead shark head shapes develop, finding both males and females start with pointed heads that become rounder with age.
Quantum oscillations defy expectations in this exotic material
Researchers studying zirconium pentatelluride discovered unexpected quantum oscillations that persist beyond theoretical limits, revealing how electron spin and orbital motion interact in exotic materials near topological phase transitions.
Scientists crushed diamond beyond Neptune-like pressures—and solved a 20-year mystery
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory resolved a two-decade mystery about how diamond behaves under extreme pressure, using advanced laser techniques to measure its melting point.
The “Asian water tower” is losing 24 billion tonnes of groundwater every year
High Mountain Asia’s groundwater reserves are declining by approximately 24.2 billion tonnes annually, according to satellite-based research combining artificial intelligence and Earth system modeling.
Scientists say the human family tree may need a major rewrite
Researchers propose expanding the genus Homo to include Australopithecus and Paranthropus species, arguing recent fossil discoveries make traditional human evolutionary classifications outdated and less accurate.
Scientists turn tiny “defects” into a 5.5x heat transfer boost
Researchers developed a polymer coating that increases condensation heat transfer by up to 5.5 times by optimizing droplet formation and removal through controlled nanoscale structures.
Starwatch: Lunar eclipse to reward early risers in UK and Europe
A partial lunar eclipse will occur early on August 28, creating a dramatic copper-red display for observers in the UK, Europe, and Africa during the pre-dawn hours.
A pizza-sized ocean predator and a tribe are trying to protect each other. Here’s how
The Samish Indian Nation and University of Washington researchers released 20 lab-bred sunflower stars into Pacific waters to restore the critically endangered species devastated by wasting disease.
Pollen has a surprising problem — and honeybees have found a way around it
Honeybees can regulate their food intake based on amino acid balance in pollen, a discovery that could help protect pollinator populations and guide conservation efforts.
Astronomers detect fastest known star in Milky Way
Astronomers have identified the fastest known star in the Milky Way, designated S301, orbiting the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole at approximately 25,000 km per second.
Researchers reveal deeper workings of brain’s information hub
Researchers at the University of Iowa have revealed how the brain’s frontoparietal cortex dynamically adjusts its communication patterns to manage information flow during decision-making under uncertainty.
MIT physicists discover electrons rebuilding like ice inside a quantum material
MIT physicists discovered that electrons in a quantum material organize into two distinct patterns that coexist like an atomic checkerboard, with one phase rebuilding gradually and the other through isolated expanding regions.
Queen bees have a disturbing way to survive pesticides
New research reveals that queen honeybees exposed to pesticides over time transfer accumulated chemicals into their eggs as a self-protective mechanism, a process researchers call maternal offloading.
This shark can live 400 years. Its eyes barely seem to age
Greenland sharks can live 400 years, and new research reveals their eyes show no signs of age-related degeneration despite extreme Arctic conditions and parasitic infections.
