A recent study from the University of Liverpool shows how sauropod dinosaurs shifted over time from small, tail-heavy animals to gigantic, front-loaded quadrupeds with exceptionally long necks. Using 3D computer models, the team traced…

Astronomers have long searched for clues that a hidden companion star sits out of view near the red supergiant star Betelgeuse. Now, they’ve uncovered a new piece of evidence: a trail like the wake behind a…

According to researchers from an international collaboration, light may loop through space, making telescopes unknowingly observe the same region more than once, similar to how reflections behave in a hall of mirrors.

The findings come…

Mars is famous for its volcanoes, canyons and ancient river valleys, but some of its most active geology happens in slow motion, powered by air. Over time, strong gusts can loft sand grains that ping and scrape at exposed surfaces, gradually…

Archaeologists have discovered a massive medieval shipwreck sitting at the bottom of a strait off Denmark.

The 600-year-old ship was a cog: a round, single square-sailed vessel that was one of the most advanced ship types in the Middle Ages. At…

Over the past decade, the Curiosity rover has played a key role in this search, steadily climbing the layered terrain of Mount Sharp inside Gale Crater. Its mission is to investigate Mars’ ancient environments and uncover clues about the…

The human brain doesn’t “break” overnight. Over years—typically decades—neurons quietly struggle to keep up with the relentless housekeeping that keeps thought and memory intact: turning the right genes on and…

Astronomers have obtained their most detailed look yet at young galaxies in the early universe using the James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble Space Telescope and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. The conclusion? These cosmic…

Glistening on the water, soaking into skin and sand, sunshine is part of Australia’s identity. And in Sydney, solar scientists are trying to harness the power of the sun to produce energy — but not in the…
