Ancient Earth once buzzed with enormous dragonfly-like insects, and scientists long thought high oxygen levels made their size possible。 A new study overturns that idea, revealing insect flight muscles weren’t constrained by oxygen after all。 Their breathing system has plenty of room to expand, meaning oxygen alone can’t explain their giant forms
Deep in a dried-up riverbed in Brazil, scientists uncovered a bizarre prehistoric mystery—twisted jawbones from a strange, long-lost animal unlike anything seen before。 Dating back 275 million years, this creature, named Tanyka amnicola, belonged to an ancient lineage that should have already faded away, making it a kind of “living fossil” of its t
A newly discovered prehistoric mammal may hold clues to how life survived the dinosaur-killing extinction。 The tiny species, Cimolodon desosai, lived 75 million years ago and had traits—like a small body and varied diet—that likely boosted survival odds。 Found in Baja California, the fossil includes rare skeletal remains that reveal how it moved an
A massive prehistoric snake discovered in India may rank among the largest ever to slither across Earth。 Named Vasuki indicus, this ancient giant lived around 47 million years ago and is estimated to have stretched an astonishing 11 to 15 meters long—rivaling the legendary Titanoboa。 Fossilized vertebrae unearthed from a lignite mine in Gujarat rev
Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones。 These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike electrical signals capable of activating living brain cells, a breakthrough demonstrated in mouse brain tissue
Scientists have unveiled a breakthrough imaging method that can capture the hidden details of events unfolding in trillionths of a second。 This new technique doesn’t just track how bright something is—it also reveals subtle structural changes that were previously invisible, all in a single shot。 By effectively turning ultrafast phenomena into detai
Scientists have developed a fuel cell that uses microbes in soil to produce electricity。 The device can power underground sensors for tasks like monitoring moisture or detecting touch, without needing batteries or solar panels。 It works in both dry and wet conditions and even lasts longer than similar technologies
Acoustic fire suppression goes commercial
A mysterious cosmic explosion has astronomers buzzing, as a strange event may hint at an entirely new kind of stellar cataclysm。 After detecting ripples in space-time, scientists spotted a fast-fading red glow that initially looked like a rare kilonova—the kind of collision that forges gold and uranium。 But just days later, the signal shifted, beha
A 150-year-old rule in geometry has been proven wrong。 Mathematicians found two different doughnut-shaped surfaces that look identical when measured locally but are actually different overall。 For decades, researchers suspected this might be possible but couldn’t prove it—until now
Two launches this week delivered 61 more satellites to orbit for the Amazon Leo broadband network
A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents。 By tracking how temperature patterns shift over time, it can reveal fast-moving, small-scale currents that were previously impossible to observe directly。 These currents are key to understanding climate, marine ecosystems, and carbo
The outage has hampered communication concerning a critical vulnerability that gives root
New results suggest Mythos' cyber threat isn't "a breakthrough specific to one model
It's not clear whether Virgin Galactic has the cash reserves to fund a prolonged test phase
In a breakthrough experiment, scientists directly imaged how particles pair up in a system that mimics superconductors。 Instead of behaving independently, the pairs moved in a synchronized, dance-like pattern—something never predicted before。 This suggests a major gap in the classic theory of superconductivity
Curiosity has detected a surprising variety of organic molecules on Mars, including compounds tied to the chemistry of life。 Some of these molecules may be billions of years old, preserved in ancient clay-rich rocks that once held water。 One standout find resembles building blocks of DNA, raising exciting questions about Mars’ past
AWS stops billing Middle East cloud customers as repairs to war damage drag on
Scientists have discovered unexpected water-ice clouds on a distant, Jupiter-like exoplanet, challenging current atmospheric models。 By directly imaging Epsilon Indi Ab with the James Webb Space Telescope, they found less ammonia than expected—likely hidden by thick, patchy clouds。 The finding reveals new layers of complexity in giant planets and s
A team at King’s College London has created a powerful new aluminum compound capable of doing the work of expensive rare metals。 Its unique triangular structure gives it remarkable stability and reactivity, allowing it to drive chemical reactions in ways never seen before。 The discovery could lead to greener and far more affordable industrial proce
