A skull fragment collected on England’s Isle of Wight and overlooked since 1924 is a new species of claw-handed predator, the first megaraptor confirmed in Europe.
Robert E. Hall of Stanford and Michael Woodford of Columbia share the 2026 economics Nobel for building the models central banks use to steady the economy. Here’s what their work means for interest rates, recessions and your budget.
The CHIME radio telescope detected a faint signal from hydrogen gas in the distant universe on its own, a step toward mapping cosmic expansion and testing ideas about dark energy.
Two teams report the first clocks that tick with an atomic nucleus instead of electrons. A Vienna prototype even stabilizes itself. Here is how they work and what they could mean.
A 25-year-old Hubble puzzle points to a giant planet that may have formed from a dead star’s leftovers. Astronomers stress it is still only a candidate.
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-12 splashed down off Los Angeles on Oct. 8 after 237 days in orbit. Here’s a look at the crew, the spacewalk records, the science and what happens next.
NOAA now gives the current El Niño an 83% chance of reaching record strength by late 2026. Here’s what forecasters said and what a very strong El Niño typically means for U.S. winter weather.
A skull fragment from South Africa’s Drimolen cave site is the first adult Homo erectus found there, dated to about 2 million years ago — roughly 200,000 years older than adult fossils from Georgia.
Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, who defended apartheid’s opponents and later led a war crimes tribunal and the UN human rights office, wins the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her work on peace and international law.
The Swedish Academy honored the 76-year-old Canadian writer “for her bold and inventive oeuvre.” Here is who she is, and which of her books to read first.
Henri B. Kagan and Kenso Soai won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for discoveries about how mirror-image molecules form, with clues to why life is one-handed.
Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel share the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for optogenetics, a technique that uses light to switch specific nerve cells on and off.
Francis Halzen of the University of Wisconsin–Madison wins the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for leading IceCube, the cubic-kilometer detector buried in Antarctic ice that found high-energy neutrinos from deep space.
New dating of tiny zircon crystals puts the buried Ames impact crater at about 370 million years old — close in time to one of Earth’s big mass extinctions.
Researchers revisited a logging trial in Australia’s mountain ash forests that sat neglected for decades. Heavily thinned stands grew bigger trees and stored as much or more carbon in their wood than unharvested areas.
A new NASA-selected project will use radar, seismic sensors and a gravity meter to see whether the Marius Hills Pit opens into an underground lava tube — a possible shelter for future astronauts.
Millions of people will practice earthquake safety during the Great ShakeOut on October 15. Here’s how to take part and what to do when the ground starts shaking.
