Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
Researchers 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.
Starwatch: Vega the bright star will light the way to the constellation of Lyra
Vega, the fifth-brightest star in the night sky, serves as a guide to locating Lyra, one of the smallest constellations visible high overhead from the UK after dark.
Archaeologists discover mysterious 400-year-old Indigenous pot in Florida
University of Florida students uncovered a 400-year-old intact clay pot from an Indigenous Potano-Timucua settlement at Mission San Francisco de Potano in Gainesville, a rare find that archaeologists are still studying.
JWST finds early galaxies may be 4 times more massive than thought
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered that early massive galaxies contained far more small stars than previously thought, making them up to four times more massive than earlier estimates.
This frozen fiber makes light and sound interact 1,000x more strongly
Researchers froze the liquid core of optical fibers using extreme cold, enabling light and sound to interact 1,000 times more strongly than in conventional fibers, potentially advancing photonic computing technology.
Forces deep inside Earth helped Antarctica freeze before the Arctic
Scientists discovered that deep Earth forces gradually raised East Antarctica’s terrain millions of years ago, creating elevations cold enough for ice to accumulate and form the massive ice sheet that exists today.
Three forgotten kings could rewrite the history of ancient Assyria
A new study identifies three previously unknown Assyrian rulers not listed in the traditional Assyrian King List, suggesting the official record may have omitted rulers for political reasons.
Sand overextraction weakening riverbanks as concrete demand soars
Global sand and gravel extraction from riverbeds has more than doubled since 2000, outpacing natural replenishment and damaging riverbanks, groundwater levels, and water quality, according to a new study.
RSPB reports record-breaking Cornish chough numbers
Chough populations in Cornwall have reached record numbers this summer, with 161 birds counted across the region, representing a significant recovery for the species that vanished from the area in the 1970s.
60,000-year-old ostrich eggshell engravings reveal a surprisingly sophisticated human mind
Archaeologists analyzing over 60,000-year-old engraved ostrich eggshells from southern Africa discovered geometric patterns suggesting humans possessed organized abstract thought and sophisticated visual planning abilities.
‘You’re hit with a slam of shadow’: Nasa’s air mission to capture rare eclipse data
NASA researchers will pilot a high-altitude aircraft to observe a rare solar eclipse, extending the duration of totality to nearly three minutes to capture detailed data on solar phenomena.
Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered a simpler, earlier wooden post structure about 3 miles from Stonehenge, dated to 5,000 years ago and similarly aligned with solar solstices.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
Researchers have confirmed that a fossil discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and stored in a drawer for four decades is the continent’s first known dinosaur bone, belonging to a long-necked Titanosaur.
World-class Jodrell Bank is under threat and UK risks a physics brain drain
UK’s Jodrell Bank radio observatory faces closure in 2028 as funding cuts threaten the country’s world-class astronomical research capabilities and risk driving talented physicists abroad.
DNA on the Shroud of Turin reveals centuries of hidden history
Advanced DNA analysis of the Shroud of Turin has revealed diverse human, microbial, plant and animal genetic material accumulated over centuries of handling and environmental exposure.
Strange quantum experiment shows “negative time” is more than an illusion
A quantum experiment demonstrates that photons can spend negative time dwelling in an atomic cloud, with measurements confirming this counterintuitive result rather than dismissing it as mere artifact.
Scientists catch a “jumping gene” mid-leap between species
Scientists observed a jumping gene moving between microbial species for the first time, revealing an unexpected mechanism for genetic transfer that doesn’t rely on viruses or plasmids as intermediaries.
Did T. rex leave these 66-million-year-old bite marks?
Researchers identified tooth marks on fossilized dinosaur bones in Wyoming that were likely made by Tyrannosaurus rex, providing rare evidence of predatory behavior in ancient ecosystems.
A colossal magma system has been hiding beneath Tuscany
Scientists have detected approximately 6,000 cubic kilometers of magma beneath Tuscany using seismic imaging, despite the region showing few surface indicators of such a system.
This school-bus-sized “terror croc” ate dinosaurs. Now it’s back
A 31-foot ancient crocodilian predator from the Late Cretaceous has been reconstructed as a full-scale skeleton replica at a Georgia museum, based on decades of paleontological research.
80-million-year-old snake brain reveals a surprising evolutionary secret
A newly discovered 80-million-year-old snake fossil from Brazil reveals that early snakes occupied multiple habitats and developed diverse adaptations, contradicting the theory of a single evolutionary pathway.
