A New Frog Species Hid Undetected in NYC — and It’s Probably Not Alone
A new leopard frog species evaded science for decades on Staten Island because it looked identical to known relatives — and researchers now suspect undescribed insects and other organisms are hiding across New York City's neighborhoods.
Goblin Shark’s Jaw Launches Out of Its Skull to Snag Invisible Prey
The goblin shark deploys one of the most extreme jaw-projection mechanisms of any living vertebrate, slinging its full jaw assembly forward in under a second while simultaneously generating suction — and it finds its prey first using a rostrum packed with electric-field sensors.
Hospital-Owned Doctors Cost More — But Does Care Improve? Two Studies Clash
A August 2025 Yale study found that hospital acquisitions of physician practices drive prices up with no measurable quality improvement — but Yale New Haven Health's Chief Clinical Officer says a newer study tells a different story, showing patient care often gets better after these deals.
Eclipse Shadow Tops 5,000 MPH Over the Arctic — Here’s Why You Can’t Outrun It
The Moon's shadow races across Earth's surface at speeds exceeding 5,000 mph near the poles — faster than any aircraft ever built — yet the same orbital geometry that creates that velocity confines totality to a strip just 60 to 100 miles wide.
2026 Solar Eclipse Gives Scientists 3 Minutes to Crack a 150-Year Corona Mystery
When the Moon's shadow crosses the Atlantic on August 12, 2026, NASA-supported researchers — including Montana State students flying high-altitude balloons — will have roughly three minutes to gather rare inner-corona data on one of solar science's oldest unsolved puzzles: why the Sun's outer atmosphere is a million degrees hotter than its surface.
The Real Multiverse Physics Behind Doctor Strange Is Stranger Than Marvel’s
Doctor Strange's multiverse borrows from a genuine 1957 physics theory, but the real Many-Worlds Interpretation is far stranger — and explicitly forbids the inter-universe travel the film depicts.Load More
