Scientists have digitally preserved the world’s most endangered marine mammal by creating highly detailed 3D models of a vaquita skeleton using advanced imaging technology。 The virtual archive provides an unprecedented look at the species and could help inspire conservation efforts before the tiny porpoise disappears forever
Scientists discovered that Heliconius butterflies have evolved an extraordinary lifespan, living several times longer than closely related species。 Even more surprising, some show little sign of physical decline as they age。 Their unusual pollen-feeding lifestyle may play a role, but the research suggests deeper evolutionary changes are also helpin
Animals from different species often rely on surprisingly sophisticated communication to work together, whether finding food, cleaning parasites, or gaining protection。 New research suggests these interspecies “conversations” are flexible, evolved, and far more important to life in nature than scientists once realized
Times are hard in 2026。 These Amazon Prime Day deals under $100 on earbuds, Kindles, and more make life just a little bit easier
A cave in New Zealand has yielded fossils from a lost ecosystem that existed about 1 million years ago, including a possible flying ancestor of the kākāpō。 The discovery reveals that volcanoes and climate upheaval were reshaping the country’s wildlife and driving extinctions long before humans arrived
Sci-fi author/tech journalist Cory Doctorow on his new book, The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI
I Am Frankelda, A。 Artificial Intelligence, and From Russia With Love are among the films deserving of your eyeballs this month
Artificial intelligence is expensive to use, many companies discovered。 That has led to a new era of saving costs
Beneath our feet lies a vast hidden fungal superhighway that helps sustain much of life on Earth—and scientists have now mapped it for the first time。 Researchers estimate that these underground networks stretch an astonishing 110 quadrillion kilometers, move about 4 billion tons of carbon dioxide into soils each year, and play a major role in supp
Workers at the artificial intelligence company have been puzzled and increasingly concerned by the administration’s move to limit their latest A
Scientists have developed an artificial photosynthesis system that essentially regulates itself, eliminating the need for batteries used in many current designs。 The key innovation is an electrolyzer that automatically adapts to changing sunlight by altering its electrical properties as it heats up。 This keeps solar fuel production more stable whil
Learning a musical instrument later in life may help keep the brain younger for longer。 In a four-year study, older adults who continued practicing maintained their memory performance and showed less age-related brain shrinkage than those who quit。 The benefits were especially noticeable in brain regions tied to memory and learning
Tesla touts Autopilot as lifesaving a day after grandmother died in crash
Tests of age-verification technology show the risks of life-altering errors
SETI scientists searched the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS for radio signals that could indicate extraterrestrial technology but found nothing beyond human-made interference。 Even so, the rapid-response observations helped confirm the object's natural origin and showcased how future interstellar visitors can be investigated for signs of intelligent
