Soft Tissue Found in a 68-Million-Year-Old T. Rex Bone—Here’s How
Mary Schweitzer's discovery of preserved soft tissue inside a 68-million-year-old T. rex femur defied everything paleontology assumed about fossil decay—forcing scientists to rethink how long organic material can actually survive in bone.
Extragalactic Astronomy: JWST Found Massive Galaxies That Shouldn’t Exist Yet
Extragalactic astronomy studies everything beyond the Milky Way, and the James Webb Space Telescope is already forcing scientists to rethink how — and how fast — galaxies form, after finding massive, fully built galaxies that existing models say shouldn't yet exist.
Pacific Seafloor So Densely Packed With Animals You Can’t See the Rock
A Pacific deep-sea expedition found seafloor animals so densely packed they completely obscured the underlying rock — a startling discovery that defies established models of how life survives in one of Earth's most nutrient-poor environments.
Colombia’s Three Colliding Tectonic Plates Made the Chocó Quake Inevitable
A magnitude 7.4 earthquake killed at least 169–280 people in Chocó, Colombia — and geologists say the science behind it was inevitable. Colombia sits where the Nazca, South American, and Caribbean plates all converge, creating one of the Western Hemisphere's most dangerous seismic zones.
How to Fake a Fossil: Palaeontologists Reveal the Surprisingly Simple Method
The toolkit for faking a fossil overlaps almost entirely with legitimate preparation techniques, and palaeontologists who study fraud say the most dangerous fakes are composites of real bones — meaning chemical tests pass while the joins go undetected.
NASA’s Roman Telescope Could Detect 400 Rogue Planets — Each Visible for Hours
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could detect roughly 400 Earth-mass rogue planets drifting starless through the Milky Way, using gravitational microlensing events that last only hours — though researchers caution the forecast carries enormous uncertainty.Load More
