Curtin University researchers report chemical traces of hemoglobin inside fossilized red blood cells from a Brazilian dinosaur. Here is what they found and what remains unproven.
A new model of Thwaites Glacier projects up to 30 mm of sea-level rise by 2100, about double earlier estimates. Here is what changed and what the study can’t yet prove.
University of Bonn researchers filmed jumping spiders overnight and found two distinct sleep stages, one with REM-like twitching. Whether spiders dream is still unknown.
Computer simulations from a Chinese team suggest hydrogen has been seeping from Earth’s core into the mantle for billions of years. It is a modeling result, with open questions.
A landslide in Alaska’s Tracy Arm fjord sent a wave 1,580 feet up the walls in 2025. Researchers say thousands of small tremors and a retreating glacier were clues a monitoring system could use.
German researchers found a soil-bacteria enzyme with a wide-open active site that breaks down biodegradable plastics and, in lab tests, penicillin. Ordinary polyethylene went almost untouched.
Rocks from China's Chang'e-6 mission suggest Earth's gravity heated the young Moon unevenly, pushing crust-building magma to the far side. Here's the evidence, and the catch.
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.
Perseverance has now driven farther than any vehicle on another world, passing Opportunity’s record in about a third of the time. Self-driving software did most of the work.
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.
Physicists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory updated a 70-year-old fusion rule and found a less energy-hungry path to ignition, plus a warning about tungsten walls.
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.
