New study shows nearby cosmic example suggests tiny red dots are a brief phase in supermassive black hole growth. Little red dots spotted by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope may not be a distinct galaxy class after all. New research published in The...

Four 1966 nuclear bombs dropped on Spain—one sank, two exploded, leaving lingering fallout that haunted a village and U.S. airmen for decades. On 17 January 1966 a U.S. Air Force KC‑135 tanker disintegrated over the Mediterranean coast of Spain,...

Geometric patterns found in ocean mapping data near Cuba and Haiti have sparked claims of a lost human settlement, but are they truly man-made structures? Intriguing geometric patterns identified in seafloor mapping data near the Caribbean have sparked...

Could the biggest discovery in the search for alien life be hidden in a handful of moon dust? New theories suggest lunar samples may hold the answer. The quest to find evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life has traditionally been synonymous with...

“Zombie wells” left behind by the fossil fuel industry have spread across 27 states, creating a persistent and growing environmental crisis. Across the United States, a massive industrial legacy lies beneath the surface, manifesting as millions of...

Grasslands recovering from human disturbance can remain biologically distinct from ancient ecosystems for centuries, a new global study reveals. New research reveals that the path to ecological recovery for grasslands is far more complex than simply...
