Tarim Basin Mummies Look European — Their DNA Proved They Never Left Asia
For decades, scientists assumed China's Tarim Basin mummies were migrants from Europe or the western steppes. A landmark 2021 genomic study shattered that consensus, revealing they descended from an isolated ancient lineage with no detectable western ancestry.
Super Typhoon Dolphin Hit 165 mph — Why the Pacific Breeds the Worst Storms
Super Typhoon Dolphin reached 165 mph on July 30, 2026, underscoring why the Northwest Pacific — with its vast warm-water runway, deep heat reservoirs, and low wind shear — is the planet's most prolific generator of extreme tropical cyclones.
Maryland Amateur Fossil Hunter Gets a 15-Million-Year-Old Species Named for Him
Researchers have formally named a newly described 15-million-year-old fossil pea crab Pinnotheres prochowniki after Bill Prochownik, a self-taught Calvert Cliffs fossil hunter whose volunteer work made him a cornerstone of Maryland's paleontological community.
NASA EVA Suit Keeps Astronauts Alive for Exactly 8 Hours — Here’s How
NASA's Extravehicular Mobility Unit supplies pressurized oxygen, thermal control, and radiation shielding for up to eight hours — a hard limit, not a guideline — as NASA prepares three ISS spacewalks in August 2026 with a public briefing on July 30.
Is Sparkling Water Bad for Your Teeth? New Research Has a Clear Answer
A new wave of studies finds that plain, unflavored sparkling water does not meaningfully damage tooth enamel under typical drinking conditions—but flavored and sweetened carbonated varieties are a different story.
Brain Hits a Biological Phase Shift Between 50 and 75, Study Finds
Researchers at the New York Genome Center used single-cell RNA sequencing to discover that the brain undergoes a concentrated biological phase transition between ages 50 and 75, driven by a dramatic shift in its immune cell population — a finding that challenges decades of neuroscience.Load More
