Fossilized Mammal Teeth Show Rapid Diversification Right After Dinosaurs Died

Researchers analyzed roughly 200 rice-grain-sized fossilized mammal teeth from China to show that mammals began diversifying into new ecological niches surprisingly rapidly after the dinosaur extinction 66 million years ago, filling a critical gap in the early Paleocene fossil record.

Mango and Cannabis Myrcene: Can Eating Fruit Intensify Your High?

Kepler-452b’s Gravity Would Double Your Weight — and That’s Just the Start

NASA's 'Earth's cousin' Kepler-452b shares a striking orbital profile with our planet, but its doubled surface gravity, older and brighter host star, and unknown atmosphere mean survival there would be nothing like life on Earth. James Loftus - July 3, 2026

ISS Retirement by 2030: Why Crashing It Into the Ocean Is the Safest Exit

NASA plans to retire the International Space Station by 2030, ending 25 years of continuous habitation with a precisely engineered deorbit into the ocean — the largest controlled reentry of any object in spaceflight history. Asher John - July 3, 2026
