Italian climbers find fossils of sea turtles that were fleeing an earthquake 80 million years ago, and the “escape” is preserved in stone like a moving scene
Scientists are still hunting for hard evidence of what deep-sea mining really does, and the fear is the damage to fragile ecosystems could outpace our ability to measure it
NASA engineers build a supersonic rotor for Mars, and carbon-fiber blades at JPL are already nearing Mach 1.08 in tests that push off-world flight to the edge
Scientists confirm seawater across every ocean contains gold, but the real surprise is why no one can mine it
Commonwealth Fusion Systems installs a 106,000-pound vessel and hits 75% completion on the SPARC reactor in Massachusetts, a milestone that speeds up America’s fusion timeline
A 29-year-old industrial engineering student in Argentina created Ironplac, a magnetizable wall finish that lets you hang tools, frames, and even kitchen knives without drilling, because the wall stays passive and the magnet on the object does the work
Researchers opened decades-old canned salmon from Alaska and found a hidden ocean record inside, dead anisakid worms that let them track food web change over 42 years, with parasite counts rising in chum and pink salmon but staying flat in coho and sockeye

The United Kingdom fires up the first commercial hydrogen-powered brick factory: the date is set, and the industrial shift feels like the start of a “new era”
China installs the “largest” turbine ever, and scientists warn of something bizarre: it could be affecting the local climate… (the size figure sounds straight out of a movie)
Scientists analyzed more than 2,300 seawater samples and made a troubling discovery: they found 248 man-made chemicals in waters around the world, even far from the coast
