Every human face hides a long evolutionary story. Behind the curve of the skull and the flatness of the cheeks lies a record of rapid change.
A new study from University College London (UCL) shows that our skulls didn’t just evolve – they…
Scientists from the University of Sydney and the University of Adelaide have uncovered how the breakup of an ancient supercontinent about 1.5 billion years ago reshaped Earth’s surface and set the stage for the rise of complex life.
“Our approach…

For years, scientists have known that Earth shares its orbit with a small group of space rocks known as quasi-satellites. These asteroids move around the Sun in a pattern that mirrors Earth’s path but are not bound to our planet by gravity.…
We’re a day away from another lunar phase which can mean one thing; the moon is almost half back to us. After last week’s New Moon, it’s been slowly coming back. And there is lots to find out and…
Could scientists find life in the clouds of exoplanet atmospheres? This is what a recently submitted manuscript hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated how the biosignatures of microbes could be identified in exoplanet…
Is there a link between “transient phenomena” detected in Earth orbit by a telescope between 1949 and 1957 and nuclear tests carried out in the past?
A new study, available in pre-print version on Scientific Report, presents results that…
