Several enormous Megalodon vertebrae thought to have been destroyed in 1989 were found sitting unnoticed on a museum shelf。 Their analysis strengthens evidence that the giant shark could exceed 24 meters (79 feet) in length and live for nearly a century。 Researchers also estimate that its newborns may have measured an astonishing 3
A massive crocodilian capable of attacking dinosaurs has been brought back to life as the first scientifically accurate mounted skeleton of Deinosuchus schwimmeri。 The 31-foot replica at Georgia’s Tellus Science Museum was built from detailed fossil scans and more than 40 years of research by paleontologist Dr。 David Schwimmer, for whom the species
NASA’s Curiosity rover has entered a Martian valley covered by an astonishing “sea” of tiny polygon-shaped fractures。 The honeycomb patterns, each only a few inches wide, stretch across the landscape and even wrap around a nearby 20-foot-tall butte
Taiwan’s steep, remote mountains have sheltered extraordinary forests containing hundreds of giant Taiwania firs。 After years of difficult expeditions, LiDAR mapping, and citizen-science detective work, researchers discovered an 84。1-meter (276-foot) tree, the tallest known in East Asia
A massive magma reservoir has been detected deep beneath Tuscany, despite showing no obvious signs at the surface。 Scientists mapped the roughly 6,000-cubic-kilometer body using natural ground vibrations recorded by dozens of seismic sensors。 It poses no immediate danger, but the discovery reveals how enormous volcanic systems can remain hidden and
Scientists have generated quantum entanglement directly from sunlight, potentially offering a lower-energy alternative to the lasers normally used in quantum technology。 Their outdoor experiment produced entangled photons with about 94% similarity to an ideal state。 The result could pave the way for simpler quantum satellites, secure communications
There's no evidence the truck will be a cheap EV truck, but what if it were
A new nanostructured carbon design lets fuel-cell catalysts use tiny amounts of platinum while remaining remarkably stable and efficient。 The breakthrough could help hydrogen fuel cells become a more practical way to power data centers, vehicles, and other energy-intensive technologies
Six deaths reported among screwworm cases, one directly attributed to the flies
Scientists have successfully generated electricity with a hydrogen turbine that produces its own pressure through detonation waves instead of relying on a mechanical compressor。 The breakthrough could unlock dramatically more efficient power systems for clean energy and future aviation
Atomically thin semiconductors could enable dramatically smaller and more efficient chips, but a stubborn problem at the boundary between materials has limited their performance。 Researchers have now engineered that atomic interface to protect electron flow while still allowing extremely thin insulating layers。 The resulting transistors delivered a
The organization, Network for Hope, "strongly disagrees" with Trump admin's decision
A surprisingly simple change could make sodium-ion batteries far more powerful while opening the door to turning seawater into drinking water。 Researchers at the University of Surrey found that sodium vanadium oxide performs much better when its naturally occurring water is left inside instead of being removed during manufacturing

Trump determined to link life-saving shots to autism, despite science and political risk
Open source WeatherNext model can make accurate predictions with lower-resolution weather data
A new 3D printing technique can produce exceptionally hard tungsten carbide cobalt while using less of its expensive raw materials。 By softening rather than fully melting the material, researchers created defect-free samples with industrial-grade hardness and opened the door to more efficient manufacturing
Metal-rich asteroids could one day become hardware stores for Mars, supplying the materials needed to build and repair a growing colony。 A new analysis shows that carefully selected asteroids may be reachable with current spacecraft technology。 Some could even provide the ingredients for making rocket fuel in space, dramatically reducing the burden
Dark matter particles may exert a hidden force on one another, but its effects are stranger than expected。 An extra attraction helps the particles cluster, yet it also makes dark matter effectively lighter as the Universe expands。 That weakens its gravitational impact and usually slows the growth of cosmic structure rather than accelerating it
