Electric sparks detected in Mars dust storms. Why it could cause problems for humans on the Red Planet
NASA’s Perseverance rover has detected electric sparks in dust storms on Mars, suggesting the planet’s atmosphere may be more electrically active than previously thought.
This is the first direct evidence of electrical discharges on the Red…

Women’s labor shaped human evolution in ways long overlooked
Across much of human history, women and children have kept camps alive by transforming bitter, inedible plants into safe, calorie-rich meals when hunting failed.
A new analysis argues that this daily work of processing and cooking food helped…
