La Trobe archaeologists have described 18 new hominin fossils, including a second Homo erectus skull fragment that confirms the species first appeared in southern Africa 2.0 million years ago—200,000 years earlier than traditionally thought.
AI Safety experts seem to agree the companies can’t self-regulate, and the new White House accord lacks teeth The post “Morally Binding” AI Safety Pledge Mocked appeared first on Nautilus .
By superimposing two ultrashort laser pulses that converge from different directions, a team of physicists at the University of Oldenburg has succeeded in generating three-dimensional light fields.
As a powerful nor'easter hit the U.S. Atlantic coast in late September 2026, the ocean poured into coastal neighborhoods from North Carolina to New York. Water from the storm surge and heavy rain filled streets and surrounded homes as near-hurricane-force winds knocked out
Federal prosecutors recently described an interstate criminal enterprise with all the trappings of organized crime: clandestine warehouses, money laundering and stolen goods transported across state lines. The mid-September 2026 announcement stated that 19 defendants faced
Researchers at Tohoku University, in collaboration with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the University of Tokyo, have taken an important step toward semiconductor quantum computing using zinc oxide (ZnO).
Biodegradable films made from engineered honeybee silk could form the basis of a new generation of "smart" wound dressings, according to researchers at CSIRO and Adelaide University.
Climate change is increasingly reshaping the polar oceans, with Arctic waters warming rapidly, sea ice shrinking and wildlife losing habitat at both ends of the planet, an annual report said Wednesday.
Astronomers have discovered a stellar cluster hidden in the crowded disk of the Milky Way. The object, named Garro 04, was first identified as an unusual collection of stars in observations from the VVVX survey and was later confirmed using infrared spectroscopy. A paper
Approximately 30% of U.S. adults who were learning a language in 2025 reported that they were using artificial intelligence as a resource.
Is there life elsewhere, or is Earth unique in the universe? This is one of humanity's great unanswered questions. One way to approach this mystery is to investigate how life began here on Earth. Our research explores the conditions in which a mixture of molecules somehow
Stoicism has attracted all sorts of fans in recent years, but one group whose interest in this ancient philosophy has attracted a good deal of comment is the "manosphere."
When you order food through an app, how much do you know about where you're buying it from? It could be a restaurant on the local main street or one located in a warehouse in a faraway industrial park.
Four and a half billion years ago, Earth and Mars were born in the rotating cloud of gas and dust that would eventually become our solar system. Yet exactly how the planets formed remains one of the most disputed questions in planetary science.
Scientists graded every river and stream in the contiguous United States, flagging specific repairs each one needs to support aquatic life.
There have been many milestones of note in the story of the Space Age, but the launch of the USSR’s Sputnik 1 satellite is the major breakthrough that started it all. It was the first human-made object to get up into space and stay in orbit, having blasted off on October 4,
Many cities around the world are sinking because too much water is extracted from the groundwater reservoirs beneath them. This sinking makes these coastal cities more exposed to rising seas as the climate warms. But as our new research shows, this process can work in reverse:
A silent, long-running competition has been taking place in Swiss alpine lakes for millions of years, killing trillions of organisms every day without anyone noticing. This competition between bacteria and viruses pushes both into a relentless evolutionary battle.
