Scientists studying stranded pygmy sperm whales have uncovered three previously unknown genotypes of Helicobacter bacteria living in the animals’ stomach tissues. Pygmy sperm whales (Kogia breviceps) rank among the ocean’s most mysterious marine mammals. These animals are seldom observed and remain poorly studied because they spend most of their lives far from shore. They typically […]

New geological evidence suggests that the slow wobble of Earth’s axis may have triggered rapid climate swings during the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world. When audiences watched The Day After Tomorrow, they saw a dramatic Hollywood depiction of sudden climate chaos. The film greatly compresses the timeline, but the underlying idea that Earth’s climate can change […]

An ancient Chinese eclipse record helped scientists refine Earth’s rotation data and confirm rising solar activity after a prolonged quiet phase. An international team combined historical geography with modern astronomical modeling to reassess what is considered the earliest precisely datable record of a total solar eclipse. By reconstructing how the Sun would have appeared from […]

Weizmann Institute study finds genetics may account for about 50 percent of human lifespan, more than double previous estimates. What determines how long people live, and how much of their lifespan is influenced by genetics? For many years, scientists believed the genetic contribution to human lifespan was relatively modest compared with other biological traits. Earlier […]
