Fossil feet may be misleading scientists about human evolution
Researchers studying wild monkeys in West Africa found that animals without ape-like ankles can still climb vertical tree trunks effectively, challenging assumptions about human evolution.
Scientists challenge a 70-year-old “lizard brain” myth
Scientists challenge the popular “lizard brain” theory, finding that brain evolution involves competition between different wiring systems rather than layered development of newer brain regions over ancient ones.
A “quantum bath” puts quantum entanglement on autopilot
Physicists at Austria’s ISTA have demonstrated a fully autonomous method for creating distributed quantum entanglement using a “quantum bath” of correlated light particles, potentially advancing quantum computing and networks.
Artemis II: The 40 minutes when the astronauts lose contact with Earth
Artemis II astronauts will lose radio contact with Earth for approximately 40 minutes as their spacecraft passes behind the Moon, a communications blackout similar to experiences during Apollo missions decades ago.
‘Sad moments ahead’: Kew Gardens to fell rare trees in race to save Victorian greenhouse
Kew Gardens will fell rare trees at its Victorian Palm House to facilitate a major renovation project starting in 2027, while relocating over 1,000 plants and conducting conservation work to propagate endangered species.
Scientists switch on a strange new form of magnetism in an ultrathin material
Scientists have detected altermagnetism in ultrathin ruthenium dioxide films, a material previously thought nonmagnetic in bulk form, potentially enabling advances in computer memory technology.
A mysterious cosmic hum may come from 13-billion-year-old dark stars
Researchers propose that gravitational waves detected by pulsar timing arrays may originate from black holes seeded by mysterious dark stars over 13 billion years ago, offering new insights into early cosmic history.
Your dislike of eating bugs may be 9,000 years old
Researchers analyzing ancient dental tartar found that Western aversion to eating insects has deep evolutionary roots dating back roughly 9,000 years, shaped by ecology and genetics rather than recent cultural factors alone.
“I jumped from my chair” – Astronomers spot Betelgeuse’s hidden companion
Astronomers have captured the clearest image yet of a companion star orbiting Betelgeuse, a famous red supergiant visible to the naked eye, ending a century-long search for evidence of the stellar companion.
Black holes older than the Big Bang could explain dark matter
Researchers propose that black holes created before the Big Bang may have survived into today’s Universe through a cosmic bounce model, potentially explaining dark matter and early galaxy formation.
King Harold may have lost England by backing the wrong pope
University of East Anglia research suggests England’s support for a rival papal faction may have influenced Pope Alexander II to back William of Normandy’s invasion in 1066.
Marine heatwaves are harming human health in surprising ways
Researchers warn that marine heatwaves pose significant threats to human health through stronger storms, contaminated seafood, and mental health impacts in coastal communities.
A black hole shredded a “super sun” — but something strange may have survived
Astronomers observed a black hole destroying a massive star in an extraordinarily energetic event, releasing energy 400 billion times greater than Earth’s Sun, with unexpected remnants suggesting a potentially bound structure survived.
A new Ice Age species was hiding in la brea tar pits fossils for decades
Researchers at La Brea Tar Pits have identified a previously unknown Ice Age amphibian species, the extinct spadefoot toad Spea labreae, offering insights into ancient climate conditions.
Scientists reveal why walking gets so much harder with age
Australian researchers found that older adults adopt a “safety-first” walking strategy that prioritizes stability over efficiency, causing slower speeds and increased fatigue as muscles work harder with each step.
Physicists discover a hidden gluon structure inside protons that could rewrite textbooks
Physicists at RHIC discovered evidence that gluons, not just quarks, may carry baryon number in protons, challenging decades-old textbook assumptions about proton structure.
Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered a simpler, earlier version of Stonehenge about 3 miles away, consisting of two wooden posts aligned with solstices, predating the famous monument by 500 years.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
A dinosaur tail bone discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and forgotten in a storage drawer for four decades has been confirmed as the first dinosaur fossil ever found on the continent.
“Cannot be explained” – New super steel stuns scientists
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong developed a corrosion-resistant stainless steel that could reduce green hydrogen production costs by replacing expensive titanium components in electrolyzers.
Scientists find evidence for two origins of life on Earth
An international research team found evidence that life on Earth may have originated independently twice, with bacteria and archaea emerging separately about 4 billion years ago from hydrothermal vents.
A strange crystal made of electrons just revealed its hidden motion
Researchers developed a light-based method to observe electron motion in Wigner crystals, revealing previously hidden collective behavior in this exotic quantum state of matter.
