For the first time, researchers have filmed the elusive goblin shark alive in the deep ocean where it naturally lives。 The remarkable sightings greatly expand the shark's known range and depth, showing that this 125-million-year-old "living fossil" still has plenty of secrets left to reveal
The hunt for ancient life on Mars just got an important test run。 Scientists confirmed that the Rosalind Franklin rover's sophisticated instrument can detect subtle differences in two stable molecules that could preserve evidence of past life for billions of years。 But the team also uncovered a surprise: organic molecules in the Murchison meteorite
Astronomers have uncovered 31 of the oldest known quasars, including the two earliest ever detected, shining from a time when the universe was only about 670 million years old。 Powered by supermassive black holes billions of times the Sun’s mass, these incredibly bright objects challenge scientists’ understanding of how such enormous black holes fo
Oak trees keep absorbing carbon dioxide long after their annual growth has ended, revealing that photosynthesis and wood production are not as closely linked as scientists once believed。 The finding could reshape forecasts of how much carbon forests will be able to store in a warmer future
A new quantum theory bridges two rival models of how impurities behave inside many-particle systems, resolving a problem that has challenged physicists for decades。 The findings could reshape experiments on ultracold atoms, semiconductors, and other exotic forms of quantum matter
A surprising discovery is reshaping scientists' understanding of how humans develop sharp central vision before birth。 Instead of blue cone cells migrating away from the retina's center, the study found they transform into red and green cones under the influence of vitamin A-related signals and thyroid hormones。 The findings could improve lab-grown
Companies will once again be allowed to scan citizens’ personal texts, emails, and social media messages via the “Chat Control” bill to find child abuse material online
Scientists have rewritten the story of gallium after discovering that its unusual atomic bonds re-form at high temperatures, contradicting decades of accepted theory。 The finding changes how researchers explain why the metal melts so easily and behaves unlike almost any other metal。 Beyond solving a long-standing scientific mystery, the work could
Today on Uncanny Valley, we unpack the political debacle unfolding in Maine surrounding the campaign of Democratic candidate Graham Platner
If Homo floresiensis wasn't a fire-using hunter, its origins could be different than we thought
The soft, oddly intimate home-chore robot has been given some very tactile hands
The ASA says adverts claiming small devices can rapidly cool rooms were too good to be true
We've spent the good part of this past year building an AI tutor that teaches kids ages 4-9 reading, math, ESL and more。 Getting an AI tutor to effectively teach a child turns out to be a really hard technical challenge, this took getting the underlying architecture right。Our tutor steers the UX in real-time and makes complex decisions on the fly
The Times, The New York Daily News and other media organizations accused OpenAI of withholding evidence in a lawsuit
What if time doesn't actually exist until something changes。 Scientists at the University of Birmingham created a tiny "mini universe" using 24,000 ultracold atoms and showed that the flow of time can emerge naturally from changes inside a quantum system, without relying on any external clock
A planet with one side permanently roasting and the other frozen in endless darkness might still have a chance of supporting life。 Researchers found that heat inside a tidally locked exoplanet could circulate in a stable, continuous loop, helping moderate temperatures in certain regions。 Their laboratory model suggests these worlds may be more hosp
The sweeping layoffs equate to 2。1% of Microsoft's workforce, with 1,600 immediate job losses at Xbox
Water’s odd behavior becomes even more dramatic when it is supercooled, but scientists have struggled to compare the many different ways of describing its microscopic structure。 Researchers at the University of Osaka used an AI model trained on computer simulations to evaluate 16 different structural descriptors。 The system identified the most effe
