For decades, paleontologists have adhered to the idea that fossilization gradually replaces organic materials with minerals, erasing all traces of life’s biological components. This belief has shaped the way scientists interpret ancient…

In the remote hills of Alberta, Canada, a discovery of extraordinary proportions is unfolding. Researchers have uncovered fossilized remains of a dinosaur, potentially offering the most complete specimen of its kind in modern history. Hidden…

In fact, axions belong to a much broader class of “ultra-light” dark matter particle candidates, which can have masses down to 10^-24 eV. This is multiple billions of times lighter than the WIMPs—and indeed most of…

Mammals usually avoid sour flavors, but a robin can devour berries so tart they would make most of us pucker in pain. How do birds pull off this dietary feat?

A new study answers the riddle by showing that evolution has rewired birds’ sour-taste…

Something unusual is happening deep within Earth’s mantle, around 1,700 miles below the surface, where seismic waves accelerate in a way that has left scientists scratching their heads for decades. This strange phenomenon occurs at a boundary…

The average mine pulled an estimated 3,661 tons of gold from Earth’s crust in 2024, stretching veins ever deeper in search of the yellow metal. Yet even the biggest operations struggle to explain how house‑sized gold nuggets form inside…

Deep below the surface of Oman, an extraordinary discovery is reshaping our understanding of Earth’s geological processes. Scientists have identified what they describe as a “phantom plume,” an unusual structure that appears to be…
