Two rare Wyoming fossils have revealed the chunkiest squid relative ever discovered, a Jurassic animal whose family was thought to have vanished millions of years earlier. Researchers have identified Wyoteuthis linsterorum, a new species of belemnite that lived about 160 million years ago. These extinct relatives of squid and octopuses usually left behind slender, bullet-shaped […]

A historical mystery about one of the earliest encounters between space weather and electrical technology has been resolved nearly two centuries later. A train that left Exeter 16 minutes late in the mid-1800s has helped scientists correct a nearly two-century-old mistake in the history of space weather. Researchers tracing the incident through railway records, newspapers, […]

A dinosaur long thought to belong exclusively to North America has turned up in Spain, offering a 150-million-year-old clue to how giants moved between continents. Paleontologists at the Fundación Conjunto Paleontológico de Teruel-Dinópolis have identified the first evidence of Diplodocus outside North America. Their study, published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, places the familiar […]

Magnetic nanoparticles could eventually help doctors both locate and treat ectopic pregnancies, after successfully targeting pregnancy-associated tissue in mice. When a fertilized egg implants inside a fallopian tube instead of the uterus, the growing pregnancy can rupture the tube and trigger life-threatening bleeding. About 98% of these abnormal implantations occur in the fallopian tubes, making […]

Researchers found that diabetes risk rose with higher exposure to meat-derived Neu5Gc, while the same pattern was not seen for Neu5Gc from dairy. A sugar found naturally in red meat may help explain part of the long-observed association between meat consumption and type 2 diabetes. Preliminary findings from nearly 90,000 adults suggest that people with […]

Researchers have demonstrated a solid-state approach to sound modulation that electronically creates the acoustic sensation of a moving sound source. A new speaker system developed at the University of Nottingham creates audio effects by manipulating sound waves around the listener rather than modifying only the electronic signal. The solid-state design recreates aspects of a classic […]
