Dogs and humans may share surprisingly similar metabolic signatures linked to lifespan. New research from the Dog Aging Project suggests that dogs and humans share some of the same biological patterns linked to lifespan. The finding could help scientists better understand how aging works in both species. In a study recently published in The Journals […]
A 150-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Flight Mystery May Finally Have an Answer
Archaeopteryx may have taken off by using two or three powerful leaps to reach the speed needed for sustained flight. With wings that could not lift high above its back and no keeled breastbone to power a modern-style launch, Archaeopteryx faced a basic problem: how did this early bird get off the ground? New research […]

236-Million-Year-Old Fossil Reveals a Stunning Secret About the Origins of Mammal Birth
An unusual growth mark in an ancient bone may help resolve a longstanding mystery surrounding the origins of mammalian reproduction. A microscopic growth mark preserved inside a 236 million-year-old fossil may help answer a longstanding question about how the ancestors of mammals reproduced. A study published in Frontiers in Mammal Science provides the first compelling […]
This Suitcase-Sized Spacecraft Could Detect a Signal From Before Stars Existed
A suitcase-sized satellite could use the Moon’s far side to search for the first direct signal from the universe before stars existed. A satellite no bigger than a small carry-on suitcase could help investigate a period of cosmic history that has never been directly observed. Developed in the UK, CosmoCube is designed to search for […]

Breakthrough in a Bizarre Galaxy Could Help Unlock the Mystery of Dark Matter
The first globular cluster stellar stream found beyond the Milky Way shows that these faint structures can be used to study dark matter in other galaxies. A faint ribbon of stars stretching across a galaxy can preserve a record of how that system has evolved. Known as globular cluster stellar streams, these long, coherent structures […]
