Antarctica is rising out of the ocean

In fact, research has shown that Antarctica is rising up out of the ocean as it sheds its ice, and the effects on our planet are going to be massive.

New Laser Network Could Make Space-to-Earth Contact 1,000X Faster

A new 'laser-powered' project being launched in the state of Western Australia could revolutionize global communications.

Alien Civilizations Might Be Too Advanced For Us to Detect

The Milky Way is so huge and old that statistically, there should be plenty of intelligent civilizations that have colonized their own star systems or neighboring ones, and at least a few that have spread across the galaxy.

We Finally Know Where The Asteroid That Killed The Dinosaurs Came From

A space rock that smacked into Earth 66 million years ago and devastated the ancient life living thereon took a remarkably circuitous route to get here, a new study has found.

Scientists achieve more than 98% efficiency in removing nanoplastics from water

U.S. scientists are battling against an emerging enemy of human health: nanoplastics. Much smaller in size than the diameter of an average human hair, nanoplastics are invisible to the naked eye.

AI poses no existential threat to humanity, new study finds

Increasing model size does not lead LLMs to gain emergent reasoning abilities, meaning they will not develop hazardous abilities and therefore do not pose an existential threat. 

Evidence of hydration on Asteroid Psyche

Using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have confirmed hydroxyl molecules on the surface of the metallic asteroid Psyche. 

Astronomers Witness Dark Matter Go Rogue in Epic Galaxy Cluster Collision

Two giant clusters of galaxies observed in the process of colliding are going so hard that their dark matter has basically detached from normal matter and flown ahead.

'comet' Tail of Speeding Star Cluster Solves 100-Year-Old Cosmic Puzzle

Terzan 5 star cluster is a copious producer of cosmic rays, because it contains a large population of rapidly rotating, incredibly dense and magnetised millisecond pulsars – which accelerate cosmic rays up to extremely high speeds.

Mid-Crust of Mars May Contain "Oceans of Liquid Water"

New data about the Martian crust gathered by NASA's InSight lander allowed geophysicists to estimate that the amount of groundwater could cover the entire planet to a depth of between 1 and 2 km.

An Evil Twin Universe Could Be Behind Our Universe's Rapid Expansion

Something is making the fabric of our Universe grow at an ever-accelerating rate, and scientists are truly stumped on what it could be.

Europe's Gaia Telescope Spots Hundreds of Hidden, Lurking Moons

The European Space Agency's Gaia mission spotted hundreds of potential moons, orbiting around more than 350 previously unknown asteroids lurking within the solar system.

Quantum Entanglement in Neurons May Actually Explain Consciousness

Chinese scientists explain how entangled photons emitted by carbon-hydrogen bonds in nerve cell insulation could synchronize activity within the brain.

1.2km drill core provides unique insight into Earth's mantle

Below the Earth's crust is our planet's thickest layer, the mantle, which influences many processes - such as volcanism, crust formation, and its magnetic field.

'Continents' of Venus Hint at Surprising Link to Early Earth

Venus and Earth seem like twins who, through dramatically different circumstances and choices, ended up leading dramatically different lives.
