A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket created a spectacular glowing “jellyfish” in the sky on October 13, 2026, as sunlight lit up its expanding exhaust plumes during an early morning launch. The unusual display, visible across the eastern United States, formed as the rocket carried SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft toward the International Space Station. Known as a […]

Researchers analyzing years of EV driving data discovered how differences between individual battery cells can intensify over time. An electric vehicle (EV) battery can reach the end of its useful life even when many of its individual cells still have substantial capacity remaining. New research shows that a small number of rapidly aging cells can […]

A surprising discovery about ancient horned mammals is challenging long-held ideas about sexual dimorphism. For decades, scientists have pointed to a group of enormous, horned prehistoric mammals as a classic example of how dramatically males and females can differ in appearance. But a new analysis of fossil skulls suggests that one of paleontology’s most familiar […]

Bleached corals fully recovered within seven weeks after brief contact with healthy clones in laboratory tests, suggesting a possible way to speed reef restoration. Warm water can leave corals alive but starving. When the animals expel the colorful algae living in their tissues, they lose the energy those partners supply for growth and turn ghostly […]

Giant marine reptiles that dominated prehistoric oceans may have relied on surprisingly different hunting strategies. A giant marine reptile that lived during the age of dinosaurs may have reached speeds of roughly 15 miles per hour with a single powerful sweep of its tail. That estimate, calculated for an exceptionally large Tylosaurus, describes a brief […]

Scientists have discovered that aging immune cells may hold a hidden blood-based clue to detecting depression. Scientists have discovered that the biological aging of certain white blood cells may provide an important clue to depression, potentially opening the door to a blood test that could help identify the condition. The study found that measuring how […]

A study of nearly 200,000 people links late-night eating to up to 30% higher liver disease risk, suggesting that your last meal of the day could matter more than you think. Eating late at night may have consequences beyond weight gain and poor sleep. A major study led by Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) […]

Researchers have identified a potential early warning sign of Alzheimer’s disease in middle-aged adults experiencing subtle concerns about their memory and thinking. Adults as young as 45 who expressed concerns about their memory or thinking had elevated levels of a blood biomarker associated with Alzheimer’s disease, even though brain scans showed no detectable structural changes. […]

A Neanderthal’s fatal wound points to a possible spear attack aimed at the heart, offering a rare glimpse of prehistoric violence. A small, round hole in a Neanderthal’s shoulder blade suggests a wooden spear pierced the chest about 75,000 years ago. The remains, found in a cave in Iraqi Kurdistan, may preserve the earliest known […]

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope has achieved nearly 30% better optical performance than required, promising stunningly sharp views of the universe and its greatest mysteries. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is performing even better than scientists anticipated after engineers completed an extensive series of tests and precision adjustments. The work has sharpened the observatory’s focus […]
