Scientists were surprised to discover a fossilized tooth from a capybara that lived almost 9 million years ago in what is now northern Chile’s Atacama Desert. Chile’s Atacama Desert is an unlikely place to find traces of capybaras, the world’s largest living rodents, whose lives revolve around water and wetland plants. Yet a fossilized tooth […]

Fossilized Vomit Reveals a Surprising Secret About Plesiosaur Behavior
Unusual fossils from an ancient North Sea delta may reveal where plesiosaurs fed. Fossilized vomit is not the kind of evidence paleontologists usually dream about finding. But it may have revealed an unexpected part of plesiosaur behavior. More than 20 fossilized masses recovered from rocks beneath the North Sea contain shells and other hard remains […]
Autism Study Reveals Two Opposing Molecular Patterns in the Brain
An analysis of more than 1,000 gene activity profiles from mouse brains reveals shared molecular patterns that vary by sex and respond differently to experimental drugs. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a condition involving differences in brain development, has been linked to more than 1,200 risk genes. Studying mutations individually has revealed many effects on the […]

Scientists Reveal What Workout Recovery Techniques Actually Work
Ice baths, massage, compression gear, and supplements promise faster recovery, but the science shows that feeling less sore does not always mean your muscles have actually recovered. An ice bath may help sore muscles feel better after a hard workout, but using one too often could come with a trade-off. Less soreness now may also […]
