Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence that dinosaur fossils may still contain traces of their original proteins, overturning a long-standing belief that fossilization destroys all organic material。 In a remarkably well-preserved Edmontosaurus fossil from South Dakota, researchers detected remnants of collagen — the main protein found in bon

Scientists studying mysterious ultra-powerful cosmic rays have uncovered a surprising hidden pattern that could finally help explain where these particles come from。 Using the DAMPE space telescope, researchers found that cosmic ray particles—from tiny protons to heavy iron nuclei—all begin fading away more sharply at the exact same point, hinting

Scientists have uncovered a hidden mathematical secret inside the leaves of the Chinese money plant: a naturally occurring geometric pattern known as a Voronoi diagram, something typically associated with city planning, computer science, and network design。 By mapping tiny pores and looping veins in the plant’s leaves, researchers discovered that t

Researchers in Japan traced a hidden medieval solar storm using ancient tree rings and centuries-old sky observations。 The team linked reports of eerie red auroras with spikes of carbon-14 trapped in buried wood, revealing a powerful solar radiation event around 1200 CE。 The findings suggest the Sun was far more active at the time, with unusually s

A casual conversation between graduate students helped spark a breakthrough in aging research at Mayo Clinic。 Researchers discovered that tiny synthetic DNA molecules called aptamers can selectively attach to senescent “zombie cells,” which are linked to aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease。 The method could eventually help scientists ident

The Thinking Machines Lab founder and former CTO of OpenAI tells WIRED she isn’t interested in automating people out of jobs。 Instead, she’s building AI that can collaborate

NASA is testing a next-generation space computer chip that could give spacecraft the ability to operate far more independently in deep space。 The radiation-hardened processor is showing performance levels hundreds of times beyond current spaceflight computers while surviving punishing tests designed to mimic the harsh conditions of space。 The techn

Fervo Energy, which uses drilling techniques from the oil and gas industry to produce power from the earth’s heat, raised $1。9 billion in an initial public offering

Watch fans spent a week falling in love with colorful Royal Oak wristwatches that didn’t exist—then the real thing arrived。 Now, fantasy is becoming a manufacturing opportunity

The standoff comes as Chinese firms increasingly turn to domestic chipmakers like Huawei, in a drive to reduce China’s dependence on Western technologies

A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it。 Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum materials known as quasicrystals, opening the door to powerful new quantum devices and ultra-efficient electronics。 The work could help scientists de

A massive new dinosaur discovered in Thailand is rewriting Southeast Asia’s prehistoric history。 The newly named Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis was a colossal long-necked sauropod that weighed around 27 tonnes and lived more than 100 million years ago。 Scientists believe it may be the last giant sauropod ever to roam the region before rising seas transf

There are no confirmed cases in the US, but 41 people who were potentially exposed to the Andes virus are in quarantine or being monitored for symptoms

María de Jesús Estrada Juárez was applying for her green card and thought she was doing everything right。 Instead, she was arrested and deported to Mexico

Lawyers for Elon Musk and OpenAI made their closing arguments in the blockbuster federal trial on Thursday。 Nine jurors are set to begin deliberations next week

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent did not say when these talks would happen。 There are fears in the United States and China about the threats from A。, but neither side is willing to slow down its development

Scientists in Japan have developed a new way to instantly detect elusive quantum “W states,” a major milestone for quantum technology。 The breakthrough could help unlock faster quantum communication, teleportation, and powerful new computing systems

company, which is in the middle of a court fight with Elon Musk, has been unhappy with how Apple has integrated ChatGPT into its devices

A cyber security expert says deleting chat history could lead to a lack of accountability if things go wrong
