One million animal and plant species are at risk of extinction right now - and that number is only growing. Ecological decline on this scale has never been seen before, with scientists and...
In 2017 and 2018, local mammoth tusk hunters made an incredible discovery on the banks of a Siberian river: two ice-age cave lion cubs lying only 15 meters (approximately 49 feet) apart. The two...
Astronomers have observed X-ray flares emitted from around the supermassive black hole for the first time, proving that Albert Einstein is right, once again. Researchers were studying X-rays from a...
Earth rotates steadily and takes 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds to fully rotate around its axis, and the maximum rotation speed at the equator is 1770 km / h, while it is almost non-existent at...
One of the most important open questions in science is how our consciousness is established. In the 1990s, long before winning the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his prediction of black holes,...
The calls flooded into Blue Mountain Wildlife first thing in the morning Monday, June 28 — dozens of baby hawks, desperate to escape the blast of early summer heat, bailed from their nests and...
Researchers from Germany and the UK who gathered measurements of body and brain size for over 300 fossils of ancient humans across the globe have found that the average body size has fluctuated...
Until recently it was thought neutron star mergers were the only way heavy elements (heavier than zinc) could be produced. These mergers involve the mashup of the remnants of two massive stars in a...
Scientists have solved the decades-long mystery over how Jupiter produces regular-as-clockwork auroras of X-ray light. The X-rays are part of the gigantic planet’s bursts of visible and invisible...
A near-perfectly preserved ancient human fossil known as the Harbin cranium sits in the Geoscience Museum in Hebei GEO University. The largest of known Homo skulls, scientists now say this skull...
As scientists gain greater ability to peer deeper and deeper into the Universe, we've been finding something very surprising: Supermassive black holes millions to billions of times the mass of the...
A new study found that the planet has been storing in its atmosphere since 2005 large amounts of heat in an unprecedented and alarming way, which led to the doubling of the Earth's energy imbalance...
Wildfires in Spain raze an average of nearly 100,000 hectares a year. And the problem is only getting worse. In the southern region of Andalusia, the number of large fires – more than 50,000...
A billion years ago, long before the dawn of complex life on Earth, a black hole several times more massive than the sun engulfed the collapsed core of a once-giant star. The immense collision...
Researchers, from the University of Cambridge, created a polymer film by mimicking the properties of spider silk, one of the strongest materials in nature. The new material is as strong as many...
Nearly three years after scientists confirmed that Mars still has lakes filled with liquid water, a new study suggests there may be more water than previously thought, including 'dozens' of lakes...
Since December 2020, eyes around the world have been looking to the US Department of Defense (Pentagon), as the Congressional Intelligence Committee gave it 180 days to announce its report that...
Scientists working at the world’s largest atom smasher have caught a bizarre subatomic particle in the act of changing from matter to antimatter. This discovery could help us understand how...
Speculation has been rife about the contents of an unclassified report set to be released later this month from the Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) task force. The document, expected...
For the first time, astronomers have determined the shape of the heliosphere, mapping in 3D the boundary that marks the end of the solar wind for our star in space. This discovery -recently...
