In 1999, a farmer donated his land for a children’s park, but years later the town sold it for millions to build a data center, and the story now feels like a clash between local memory and tech fever
In Patagonia, researchers found three petrified forests about 50 million years old, a stunning window into an ancient landscape that was much greener, wetter, and stranger than southern Argentina today
Perseverance looked at Mars again with a panorama built from dozens of images, and the result leaves a strange feeling: the Red Planet looks empty, but every rock may be saying something
A 5.3-million-year-old whale cemetery appeared 7,000 meters deep in the Indian Ocean, an almost impossible scene that seems to tell a marine tragedy from the deep past
Archaeologists discovered an Inca citadel four times larger than Machu Picchu’s urban core, with hundreds of structures and thousands of artifacts that could rewrite a huge part of the Andean map
In Santa Cruz, scientists found a 150-million-year-old fossil plant with such rare preservation that it seems to freeze a piece of the plant world that existed when dinosaurs ruled Earth
The electric truck is no longer just a green promise: in Chile, a transport entrepreneur says its operating cost now matches diesel and may even beat it, a line that sounds like a turning point for heavy logistics
Tlaxcala surprised everyone with its own solar-powered electric car, priced at less than 100,000 pesos: a locally manufactured vehicle that promises up to 250 kilometers of range and a rather outlandish idea—partially recharging using sunlight.
After decades of dams, diversions, and drought, the Colorado River will once again flow into the Sea of Cortez—a scene many believed was lost and that is seen almost as a historic return of the water.
Costa Rica has just added a “ghost shark” to its biodiversity, but this one doesn’t live on beaches or reefs: it was hiding at depths of between 1,280 and 2,580 feet in the Pacific Ocean
At 4,100 feet underground, in an old gold mine in South Dakota, some extremely rare microbes could do something amazing: turn CO2 from factories into solid rock
A town in Surrey experienced more than 100 small earthquakes between 2018 and 2019, and scientists are now investigating whether an oil well just 3 or 6 miles away might have had something to do with it
A quiet town in northern Italy could wake to find 14,000 solar panels planted on a field wedged between their homes, and the residents’ revolt exposed something no one expected
For years, fishermen had watched this strange fish destroy their nets; now Greece has decided to pay for each one caught, in an effort to curb its spread
Switzerland has just installed a small solar power plant between the tracks of an active railway line, and what seems impossible is that more than 11,000 trains have already passed over it without interrupting service
An electric car’s “dead” battery may not have been as dead as it seemed, and Cornell University has just tested a method that allows up to 95% of its original capacity to be restored without damaging it
According to a new scientific proposal, NASA may need a kind of “biological customs checkpoint” on the Moon before bringing samples from Mars or distant worlds back to Earth
