A Medieval Japanese Diary Just Helped Scientists Detect a Dangerous Solar Event

A new technique using tree-ring carbon data and historical records uncovered a solar event from 1200–1201 CE, offering insights into past solar activity and improving space weather predictions. On Earth, intense solar activity often shows up as colorful auroras that appear harmless. Beyond the protection of our planet’s magnetic field, however, the Sun can become […]

Humans Returned to Britain 500 Years Earlier Than Scientists Thought

A modest rise in summer temperatures may have been enough to bring humans back to post-ice-age Britain centuries earlier than expected. The return of humans to the British Isles following the retreat of the last ice sheet, which once covered much of the northern hemisphere, occurred around 15,200 years ago, roughly 500 years earlier than […]

250-Million-Year-Old Egg Solves One of Evolution’s Biggest Mysteries

Discovery of a Lystrosaurus embryo inside an egg proves early mammal relatives laid eggs and survived mass extinction through rapid development and resilient reproductive strategies. A new fossil discovery is offering fresh insight into one of Earth’s most remarkable survival stories while resolving a long-standing mystery. Lystrosaurus, a tough, plant-eating ancestor of mammals, became widespread […]

Living With Roommates Might Be Changing Your Gut Microbiome Without You Knowing

A new study reveals that close social relationships can drive the transfer of gut microbes, independent of shared surroundings. Living with friends or family may subtly influence your gut bacteria, according to a new study from the University of East Anglia. Research on a population of small island birds found that individuals share more of […]
