In a recent study, Dr. Yuchen Tan and colleagues examined the response of the North China Plain settlement of Jiahu to the abrupt climatic 8.2 ka event. They found that Jiahu not only survived but also demonstrated remarkable resilience to the climate event, …

A research background and a passion for sewing inspired by her father helped Yasmin Proctor-Kent to reach the finals of the 2025 television competition.

A new paper (accessible here) reports the detection of a periodic wobble in the anti-tail jet of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS with a…

The direction, distance and motion of the comet through the sky during its closest approach could have made it seem like it was hovering over Bethlehem when Jesus was said to have been born.

Thanks to it, scientists have been able to estimate the comet's mass more precisely.

Strength, endurance, power and balance all decline with age – but you can measure where you stand. A coach breaks down the key fitness benchmarks men over 40 should aim for, and how to adjust expectations decade by decade.

While mastering the art of disagreement might seem impossible when emotions run high, emotionally intelligent people have a secret arsenal of phrases that transform potential conflicts into productive conversations—and they're surprisingly simple to use.

The novel design for the new qubit uses the chemical element tantalum in tandem with a special silicon substrate, creating what researchers say are the most coherent superconducting qubits to date.

Earth’s water may have survived its fiery beginnings by hiding deep within the mantle.

South Africa is home to some of the oldest evidence of life on Earth, contained in rocky, often layered outcroppings called microbialites. Like coral reefs, these complex "living rocks" are built up by microbes absorbing and precipitating dissolved minerals i…

A plant that looks like a fungus, lives like a parasite, and clones itself in the dark—Balanophora may be one of evolution’s strangest experiments. At the foot of moss-covered trees in the mountains of Taiwan and mainland Japan, as well as within the subtropi…

The origin and dispersal of Homo erectus, a long-lived and geographically widespread human ancestor, are unclear despite a rich fossil record. Here, the authors reconstruct the face from a Homo erectus cranium from Gona, Ethiopia, dated to 1.5-1.6 million yea…

A survey of 1,600 academics found that more than 50% have used artificial-intelligence tools while peer reviewing manuscripts.

Our Standard Model of the Universe, for both particle physics and cosmology, remains intact for now. When will its foundations crack?

Although they are technically gas giants, Uranus and Neptune are referred to as "ice giants" due to their composition.

The Earth's magnetic field and oxygen evolved together over 540 million years, according to a major NASA study.

As of December 15, 2025, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS arrived at a distance of about 270 million kilometers from Earth. By December 19…
