A reconstructed landscape beneath Chile’s Lauca volcanic deposits supports a slow, steady rise for this part of the Andes. The Lauca Caldera, a large volcanic depression in northern Chile, erupted 21.9 million years ago and buried an entire landscape beneath volcanic rock. That covering protected evidence of how the Andes were growing from erosion and […]

One of Earth’s Oldest Animal Fossils Found in a Norwegian Sheep Field
One of the oldest known animal fossils preserved in three dimensions has been discovered in a sheep field in the Norwegian Arctic, marking the first major new fossil site of its kind found in Europe in decades. Rocks that fell from a cliff and split open in a sheep field in the Norwegian Arctic revealed […]
Biggest Supernova Dataset Yet Challenges Dark Energy Theory
Nearly 3,000 exploding stars have revealed a startling possibility: the mysterious force accelerating the universe may be changing over time. The largest catalog of Type Ia supernovae assembled so far is giving astronomers a more detailed record of cosmic expansion. The results add to evidence that dark energy, the unknown component believed to drive that […]

Einstein Called It “Spooky.” CERN Just Found It at Extreme Energies at the Large Hadron Collider
Particles left behind by decaying Z bosons reveal strong evidence of quantum entanglement at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. Z bosons, heavy elementary particles that decay almost as soon as they form, leave behind clues to a connection that can outlast physical separation. Known as quantum entanglement, this connection links particles’ quantum properties so that measuring […]
