More than 200 million years ago, this ancient crocodile roamed the Earth, before vanishing into stone.

Researchers used a pair of powerful supercomputers to simulate the potential trajectories of 1 million satellites in a cislunar orbit between Earth and the moon. Less than 10% of these orbits remained stable throughout the simulations, but this is not as disa…

Preeclampsia, a complication of pregnancy that involves high blood pressure, could have led to a decline in Neanderthals' fertility, a new study suggests.

Last week, the previous chair's resignation was accepted.

A fossil on display at Montana State University's Museum of the Rockies reveals how dinosaurs in the Tyrannosaurus genus may have subdued prey, and the specimen is the focus of a new collaborative research publication between scientists at MSU and the Univers…

An international team of astronomers has performed multi-wavelength observations of the nearby Araish galaxy to investigate the origin of its radio emission. As a result, they detected an extended radio jet of this galaxy. The finding was reported February 11…

Dr. Marta Chmiel-Chrzanowska and her colleagues conducted a multidisciplinary analysis of the only known preserved wooden coffin from the Roman Iron Age, the Princess of Bagicz. The study, published in Archaeometry, used dendrochronology to resolve a long-sta…

By 2025, China aims to plant over 100 billion trees to combat desertification.

A 125-million-year-old dinosaur just rewrote what we thought we knew about prehistoric life. Scientists in China have uncovered an exceptionally preserved juvenile iguanodontian with fossilized skin so detailed that individual cells are still visible. Even mo…

Ultramarathons might push red blood cells past their limits—accelerating their aging in the process.

For the first time, researchers in China have accurately quantified how chaos increases in a quantum many-body system as it evolves over time. Combining experiments and theory, a team led by Yu-Chen Li at the University of Science and Technology of China show…

The NASA/SpaceX Crew-12 mission launched four astronauts on a journey to the International Space Station.

Ancient footprints in New Mexico, dated to 23,000 years ago, reveal humans lived in North America 10,000 years earlier than previously believed.

SpaceX launches helped make Kennedy Space Center feel active again, but that routine has quietly shifted. Here's what changed and what comes next.

Lasers, devices that emit intense beams of coherent light in specific directions, are widely used in research settings and are central components of various technologies, including optical clocks (i.e., systems that can keep time relying on light waves as opp…

"It's really difficult to overstate how bad we are at finding intermediate mass black holes."

It’s not that rare for the Moon to pass in front of Mercury, but it seldom happens when it is this easy to watch.

A surprising chemical discovery in a far-off star-forming cloud has astronomers questioning everything. Could this be the first step toward finding life beyond Earth?

A new SpaceX effort to provide space traffic coordination services has attracted attention and praise in part because of the conditions it places on users.

For 30 years, Hollywood taught the world how dinosaurs sounded. Now two rare fossils are shattering that iconic roar.

A 3D soft electronic mesh allows high-resolution electrical recording and stimulation across the full surface of neural organoids, enabling long-term studies, drug testing and optogenetic control without compromising their viability owing to its porous design.
