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 ...

For dogs that dread every summer, the treatment vets actually recommend is desensitization and counterconditioning: playing firework recordings very quietly while offering treats, then very gradually ...

With the tectonic puzzle pieces now mostly in place, you might think things are stable. Not so fast! Tectonic plates never really rest. As researcher Asier Madarieta from the University of the Basque ...

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 ...

These numbers mark a turning point. Nutrients now originate not just from the ocean itself (upwelling, vertical mixing), but also from land—from agricultural runoff, wastewater discharges, and even ...

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 frequency side of the story comes from the Institute for Systems Biology, whose team analysed clinical, lifestyle and molecular data from more than 1,400 generally healthy adults. As the ...

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, ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a bizarre new class of cosmic object in the early universe: a black hole star. While astronomers initially thought they were looking at a tiny, mature ...

Recovery, however, does not rest on the injured tissue alone. Intact regions step in to compensate for losses, helping the brain settle into a new functional balance. In a foundational 2013 review on ...
