PFAS in Great Lakes Food Webs: 42 Years of Forever Chemicals on Your Plate
A University of Notre Dame analysis of 42 years of biological data found PFAS 'forever chemicals' systematically biomagnifying through every tier of the Great Lakes food web, with Lakes Erie and Ontario showing the highest concentrations—posing a public-health concern for tens of millions of people.
Bipedal Crocodile Relative Had Tiny Arms and a Beak—Not a Dinosaur
A newly described Triassic species called Labrujasuchus expectatus was a genuine crocodile relative that walked bipedally, carried a toothless beak, and had markedly reduced forelimbs—a body plan scientists once assumed belonged exclusively to dinosaurs.
How SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Pushes a 15,000-lb Satellite to Geostationary Orbit
On June 28, a SpaceX Falcon 9 carried the 15,000-pound SiriusXM SXM-11 satellite through three distinct orbital phases to reach geostationary orbit — the most energy-intensive standard destination in commercial spaceflight.
NASA’s $5M Bet on Lunar Internet: Can AiRANACULUS Fix Moon Communications?
NASA has awarded Lowell, MA-based AiRANACULUS a $5 million CCRPP contract to develop AI-driven, heterogeneous communications networks for lunar and deep-space missions — a critical step beyond the overloaded Deep Space Network as Artemis ramps up.
The Wow! Signal: 72 Seconds in 1977 That Science Still Can’t Explain
In 1977, a routine sky survey picked up a 72-second radio signal so unusual it matched every theoretical marker of an intentional interstellar transmission. Nearly 50 years later, it has never been explained — or repeated.
How Deep-Sea Giants Survive 5+ Years Without a Single Meal
A new study in Cell documents a supergiant deep-sea isopod surviving over five years without food, revealing an oversized stomach for mass storage and an ultra-slow metabolism — possibly regulated by a single gene — as the twin engines of extreme fasting survival. Greenland sharks, living past 400 years on minimal calories, run a strikingly similar biological playbook.Load More
