In a study published in May 2026, paleontologists identified a new species of giant marine reptile that lived in the oceans covering present day Texas 80 million years ago. Named Tylosaurus rex, the ...
Despite these brutal parameters, entire ecosystems thrive. Marine biologists continue to document unique communities built around hydrothermal vents. These deep sea geysers provide chemical energy to ...
Once they managed to find the opening and reach the fault, the real work began: drilling into the oceanic trench and installing geophysical measurement devices. There’s still much to learn from these ...
The most affected deltas are in Thailand, Indonesia, and China, with average subsidence rates nearing 0.31 inches (8 millimeters) per year. This double burden—shrinking land combined with rising ...
As these bursts travel billions of light-years through deep space, their different frequencies become jumbled and separated. When an FRB passes through ionized matter, lower-frequency radio waves lag ...
The candidate pair resides inside Abell 402-BCG, a galaxy located an estimated 4.4 billion light years from Earth. In 2018, astronomers first noticed an unusual feature at the galaxy’s center: a dark, ...
New research is shedding light on an unexpected link between the human intestine and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. A growing body of evidence points to a powerful connection between our gut ...
The Futura Team represents the pulse of Futura’s editorial department, bringing together a collective expertise dedicated to the dissemination of scientific knowledge. Rather than the work of a single ...
A research team at MIT has developed a non-invasive alternative that spares patients from open heart surgery. In a study published June 2, 2026, in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers detailed ...
The remarkable scale of Praearcturus gigas surprises scientists because of the era in which it lived. When this scorpion was alive, land animals were a brand new phenomenon. They had only emerged from ...
