CT scans and DNA revealed that Australia’s rare sea muppets only look like seahorses and actually belong to a separate evolutionary lineage. A tiny fish from southern Australia could easily be mistaken for a seahorse. Its head bends downward in the same horse-shaped profile, its tail curls tightly enough to grasp, and males carry their […]
Scientists Discover a 245-Million-Year-Old Reptile With Its Organs Still Preserved
An international research team examined a unique fossil from China that, for the first time, preserves the digestive system of a marine reptile with a long neck that lived in the oceans 245 million years ago. Inside an almost complete fossil from China, researchers identified the stomach, liver, and intestines of a marine reptile that […]
Scientists May Have Solved a Long-Standing Melanoma Treatment Mystery
With cancer treatment, when a drug is given may matter almost as much as which drug is used. For years, melanoma researchers have faced a frustrating contradiction. Experiments suggested that periodically stopping certain targeted drugs might help keep resistant cancer cells in check. Yet when intermittent dosing was tested in patients, continuous treatment performed better. […]

Popular Fertility Drug May Raise Miscarriage Risk Without Improving Live Birth Odds
A widely used fertility drug may carry a hidden tradeoff: as treatment adds up, the risks may rise without improving the odds of a live birth. Researchers found that women exposed to higher cumulative doses of clomiphene citrate had progressively greater risks of miscarriage and multiple births, yet no corresponding improvement in the chance of […]
Scientists Survey Mount Ararat’s Mysterious Glacier for the First Time
A German and Turkish research team is studying a shrinking glacier as a record of past climate and environmental change. More than 5,000 meters above sea level, amid intense cold, strong winds, and oxygen levels roughly half those in the valley below, a German-Turkish research team conducted the first survey of Mount Ararat’s glacier in […]
