The revolution in dinosaur science started 50 years ago—here's what we have learned
Dinosaur science underwent a revolution starting 50 years ago, moving from speculative guesses to rigorous scientific methods to understand dinosaur behavior and physiology. Pioneering work by Robert
Artemis astronauts begin fifth day on historic moon mission
The four astronauts aboard **NASA's Artemis 2 mission** are now on their fifth day of a historic journey to the moon, having already witnessed unprecedented views of the lunar surface. This mission ma
Artemis II astronauts expected to reach far side of moon on Monday
The Artemis II mission astronauts are anticipated to reach the far side of the moon on Monday, marking a historic deep space venture beyond any previous human exploration. NASA has expressed satisfact
Image: NISAR views Mount St. Helens
The U.S.-Indian Earth satellite NISAR captured a detailed image of Mount St. Helens on November 10, 2025, demonstrating its L-band SAR instrument's capability to penetrate cloud cover and view the Ear
Stopping algae blooms with bacteria-busting buoys
Scientists have developed a novel "set it and forget it" buoy system designed to combat toxic cyanobacteria blooms in ponds by distributing algaecide. This innovation aims to mitigate the harmful effe
The largest survey of exoplanet spins confirms a long-held prediction
Astronomers have confirmed a long-standing prediction linking planetary mass and rotation through the largest-ever survey of exoplanet spins. This research validates the theory that more massive plane
Artemis II toilet acts up again as astronauts speed toward the moon to break Apollo 13's record
The Artemis II astronauts are now over halfway to the moon, preparing for a historic lunar fly-around that will push them deeper into space than any Apollo mission, including breaking Apollo 13's dist
Artemis astronauts to study the moon's surface using mainly their eyes
Fifty years after the initial lunar orbit, Artemis astronauts are set to repeat the journey on Monday, employing their eyes as the primary scientific instrument to study the moon's surface. This appro
Exploding primordial black holes might have reshaped the early universe, and created all matter as we know it
Exploding primordial black holes in the early universe may have been responsible for creating all matter, according to a new theory. This challenges our understanding of the cosmos's initial state, su
Satellite mirror plans could disrupt sleep and ecosystems worldwide, scientists say
Scientists are raising alarms to a US agency regarding tech firms' proposals to launch reflective mirrors and up to one million additional satellites into low Earth orbit, warning of severe disruption
Artemis astronauts glimpse moon's 'Grand Canyon' ahead of historic lunar flyby
Artemis astronauts are witnessing unprecedented views of the moon, including its 'Grand Canyon,' as their spacecraft approaches a historic lunar flyby. This journey marks a significant milestone, with
Scientists found a protein that drives brain aging — and how to stop it
Scientists at the University of California - San Francisco have identified a protein called FTL1 as a key driver of brain aging and memory decline in mice. By reducing FTL1 levels, researchers were ab
Most U.S. states are warming but not in the way you think
While only half of U.S. states show an increase in average temperatures, most are experiencing significant warming trends through hotter highs or warmer lows, indicating a more nuanced and uneven clim
Iridium's hidden surface chemistry may change how hydrogen and chlorine are made
New research reveals previously unknown surface chemistry of **Iridium**, a critical element in electrochemical processes, which could revolutionize the production of hydrogen fuel and chlorine. This
Why forest loss is making our watersheds leak rain
Decades of paired-watershed experiments consistently demonstrate that deforestation leads to an increase in the total volume of water flowing through rivers. This established connection between forest
Scientists discover hidden gut signals that could detect cancer early
Scientists have uncovered hidden gut signals, including specific bacteria and metabolites, that could revolutionize early detection of gastrointestinal diseases like gastric cancer, colorectal cancer,
How we came to be: Scientists get first look at the evolution of early complex animals
Newly unearthed fossils provide scientists with an unprecedented look into Earth's pivotal transition from rudimentary life forms to complex animals, offering direct evidence of the evolutionary leap
AI makes rewilding look tame—and misses its messy reality
Humans have historically shaped their perception of nature through art, from ancient cave paintings to contemporary depictions, highlighting valued elements while omitting others. This inherent human
Thermal justice: New report examines threat of extreme heat, suggests culturally informed policies
A new report highlights that extreme heat is the deadliest weather phenomenon in the U.S., surpassing hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes combined. It argues that current policy approaches, which focus
Insects in the tropics are already near their heat limits. Climate change could push many beyond survival
Tropical insects, comprising up to 90% of animal species, are already at their thermal limits, making them highly vulnerable to even slight temperature increases from climate change. Our current under
