Fossil hunting along Dorset’s Jurassic Coast has evolved into a lucrative industry, with rising values attracting professional collectors and international buyers competing for significant specimens.

Scientists used CT scans of the only two known complete dodo skulls to reconstruct the bird’s brain cavity, revealing the extinct species had distinctive sensory abilities including enhanced smell and touch sensitivity.

New research suggests dinosaurs never evolved to extremely small sizes despite becoming giants, possibly due to competition with early mammals for ecological niches.

Scientists examining Cassini mission data have discovered that Saturn’s magnetospheric cusp is positioned differently than Earth’s due to the planet’s rapid rotation and magnetic environment.

NASA engineers implemented a power-saving procedure on Voyager 2, freeing up additional electricity to extend the aging spacecraft’s scientific operations for at least one more year.

Researchers in Brazil discovered a 240-million-year-old fossil reptile species that fills evolutionary gaps in the lineage leading to dinosaurs and crocodiles.

Researchers discovered that silver nanocatalysts in solid oxide cells switch their operation location depending on whether the device generates electricity or produces hydrogen, offering new design strategies for clean energy technology.

Researchers at the University of Zurich discovered that adult brains can repair astrocyte damage through specialized cells that transport nuclei to injured regions, challenging prior assumptions about brain regeneration.

Archaeologists discovered a simpler, earlier version of Stonehenge three miles away, consisting of two wooden posts aligned with solar solstices and dating back approximately 5,000 years.

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

Chemists have developed a catalyst that releases electrons directly into solution, overcoming a longstanding limitation in single-electron transfer reactions and enabling previously inaccessible chemical pathways.

Scientists discovered that bacteria can transform dissolved uranium into a stable chemical compound using glycerol as a food source, potentially enabling future environmental cleanup efforts.
