Scientists have long struggled to explain why Venus’s atmosphere moves so quickly, with winds racing around the planet far faster than its own rotation.

Now, new research suggests that a daily thermal tide created by solar heating is the main…

Around 115 million years ago, the waters off northern Australia were home to a giant shark that totally flips what we thought we knew about ancient ocean predators. Recent fossil discoveries show that sharks reached enormous sizes much…

In 2021, a swarm of small earthquakes rippled beneath Yellowstone National Park and jolted a hidden ecosystem nearly 325 feet below the surface. Microbes living in a buried pocket of groundwater suddenly got a burst of energy.

Scientists may have just taken a major step toward reversing Alzheimer’s disease, at least in mice. A new study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and West China Hospital Sichuan University describes a…

People love an apocalyptic spectacle. Meteor showers, collapsing stars, something dramatic enough to justify every disaster movie ever made. The real long-term cosmic forecast is stranger, slower, and way less cinematic. The Universe may not…

The quest to unify quantum mechanics and gravity stands as one of the most profound challenges in modern physics. For decades, these two pillars of science have remained irreconcilable: quantum mechanics governs the behavior of particles at…
