Carbonized Herculaneum papyrus scroll under red laser lines during X-ray imaging alignment.

Artificial intelligence has just read a papyrus scroll carbonized by Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago, without opening or destroying it, and every recovered word feels like a secret doorway into a Roman library trapped by fire

Thermometer showing temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius under a bright sun during extreme heat conditions

Scientists have recreated the legendary summer of 1976 using current weather conditions, and the result raises an uncomfortable question: What was once a historic heat wave could be much more intense today

Rhinochimaera deep sea ghost shark with long snout, similar to newly discovered species in Costa Rica

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

Researchers working inside underground tunnel studying microbes for carbon capture

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

Cracks in a house wall caused by small earthquakes in Surrey village

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

Technician working on an electric vehicle battery pack with exposed lithium ion cells during maintenance

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

View of Earth rising above the Moon’s surface, illustrating the concept of using the Moon as a protective barrier for space samples

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

Engineers inspect damaged launch pad after New Glenn rocket explosion at Cape Canaveral

The new space race no longer seems like an idyllic adventure toward the stars, because in 2026, Blue Origin is rebuilding a destroyed launch pad, Relativity has its sights set on Mars, and a Chinese rocket is leaving more debris floating above Earth

Illustration of flowering plants representing self-fertilization and reproductive strategies examined in a new evolutionary biology study.

For decades, it has been said that self-fertilization was like entering an evolutionary dead end, but a new study has just put a rather uncomfortable spin on that old idea

Albert Einstein portrait associated with theories about fundamental laws of the universe and physics

For decades, Einstein had been mulling over an unsettling idea—that the most fundamental laws of the universe should not depend on arbitrary numbers—and now a study published in Physical Review Letters has just given it a rather compelling mathematical boost

Green Bank Telescope tracking deep space signals under the Milky Way during Artemis II mission

An Earth-based telescope turned the Artemis II crew into a handful of pixels from more than 200,000 miles away, and the twist is that the 328-foot Green Bank Telescope tracked the capsule with precision down to 0.008 inches per second

Two red-crowned cranes perform a synchronized courtship dance in the Kushiro wetlands, responding to each other with coordinated bows and poses.

What looks like a beautiful dance in the Kushiro wetlands could be a secret conversation between two cranes, featuring a series of bows, poses, and movements that last up to three minutes and respond to each other’s gestures
