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.
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.
ESA’s Juice spacecraft flew 5,370 miles above the Indian Ocean on Sept. 28, using Earth’s gravity to bend its path toward Jupiter while saving fuel for the icy moons.
A month after launch, NASA’s Roman Space Telescope proved it can hold extraordinarily still, and its starlight-blocking Coronagraph Instrument saw stars for the first time.
