Ear, nose, and throat specialists significantly reduced their overall opioid prescribing rates over an eleven-year period, but their choice of drugs shifted dramatically toward stronger substances like oxycodone. A team of researchers analyzed Medicare...

observations with in situ temperature loggers that recorded heat exposure at ten-minute intervals throughout the study period. Vulnerability Varies Widely Across Genera and Reefs The field surveys captured the severe marine heatwave of summer 2023,...

Researchers from the Saikū History Museum have spent recent months excavating a compound dating to the 8th-century Nara period, revealing massive structural postholes that once supported a grand, formal hall. Excavation site at Saikū in Mie Prefecture,...

Peak National Observatory. Their analysis, published in The Astrophysical Journal, confirms the planet’s mass and orbital period. According to the study, Gliese 3378b’s insolation is “about 90 percent of the radiation Earth receives from the Sun, so...

was initially thought to be between 23,000 and 30,000 years old. New radiocarbon work now pushes its creation back to a period when modern humans were rapidly expanding across Europe, bringing with them increasingly intricate technologies and symbolic...

goods. The discovery bridges a gap between the material recovered on the seabed and the scant documentary record of the period. Gold Hoard Unearthed Near Salcombe Bay The story began when diver Ron Howell reported a handful of gold he recovered from the...

that the manuscript’s condition provides insight into how damaged sacred texts were repaired and repurposed in the medieval period, rather than being discarded once they became unusable.

of Silence MeerKAT detected a series of radio bursts spaced exactly 424 milliseconds apart, which matches the known spin period of 1E 1207.4‑5209. The signal is so faint that previous surveys missed it, explaining why the object was long considered...

traits of the Lapedo child continue to support the idea of gene flow between Neanderthals and modern humans during their period of overlap, even though direct genetic material from this individual remains unavailable.

Archaeology at the University of Stavanger. The experts identified the item as a scarce silver coin from the early medieval period. X‑ray imaging uncovers a hidden griffin beneath a copper shield Archaeologists determined that the coin had been...

sensitivity to temperature thresholds that dictate ice stability and snow cover. The January average reflects a sustained period of atypical warmth rather than a fleeting warm spell. When temperatures linger near or above freezing during a season that...

placed key divergence events for newly sampled lithodid and pagurid lineages around the Eocene‑Oligocene transition, a period the authors propose as a fertile backdrop for diversification and morphological innovation. Together, these genomic and...

the upper three metres, the scans highlighted a layer interpreted as broken pottery and debris, likely linked to Roman‑period occupation. At roughly six metres depth, the ERT data revealed a substantially larger construction, consistent with a Saite‑era...

to University College London archaeologist Chinglong Tse, Lord Qiu ordered the bells either in 677 B.C. or 646 B.C., a period marked by heightened tension with the neighboring state of Chu. Artisans adorned the bells with dragon motifs, embedded quartz,...

Researchers now propose that Allonnes may have been linked to the slave trade that operated across the Late Iron Age, a period spanning roughly 450 to 50 B.C. Celtic metalwork specialist Thierry Lejars, speaking to INRAP, explained: “The identification...

the system. The Cambridge researchers propose that a resonant orbital configuration—where the inner trio follows a 9:12:16 period ratio—acts as a stabilising mechanism. Such resonances are familiar in our own Solar System, notably among Jupiter’s moons,...

recent moa remains that first attracted researchers. The newly recovered fossils date to roughly 1–1.5 million years ago, a period that has left only faint traces in New Zealand’s paleontological archives. Location of Moa Eggshell Cave in the North...
