The Jurassic fossil Juracanthocephalus reveals a key evolutionary link between rotifers and parasitic acanthocephalans, resolving debates about their origins and anatomy. A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a fossil acanthocephalan named Juracanthocephalus in the 160-million-year-old Daohugou Biota in Inner Mongolia, China. The […]

Fault zones are often wide, branching networks rather than narrow lines, requiring a shift to 3D models for better earthquake prediction and hazard analysis, while narrow creep zones highlight potential errors in interpreting past seismic events. At the Seismological Society of America’s Annual Meeting, researchers tackled a deceptively simple question: How wide are faults? Christie […]

NASA and SpaceX just launched a major resupply mission to the International Space Station, to deliver nearly 7,000 pounds of cargo—including food, equipment, and high-tech experiments. From robotic agility tests to cutting-edge atomic clocks and life-support innovations, the Dragon spacecraft is packed with tools that could redefine our future in space. The mission plays a […]

After over seven months in orbit, astronauts Don Pettit, Alexey Ovchinin, and Ivan Vagner have returned to Earth aboard the Soyuz MS-26. They wrapped up a 220-day mission spanning 93 million miles and over 3,500 Earth orbits. Their dramatic landing on the Kazakhstan steppe marked the end of another milestone in long-duration spaceflight, showcasing incredible […]

Rutgers’ research reveals the widespread presence of mercury pollution in Earth’s polar regions. In 1962, environmentalist and author Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, warning the world about the dangers of the pesticide DDT. Her work drew attention to the reproductive harm it caused in birds, most notably the bald eagle, and inspired widespread environmental action. […]
