Scientists found traces of two unknown ancient human lineages hiding in modern DNA; one split from our ancestors about 800,000 years ago, another around 1.8 million years ago |
Representative Image of ancient human evolution showing the genetic connections between humans, Neanderthals, and Denisovans…
In 2002, a NASA intern stole a 600-pound safe containing $21 million in Moon rocks to give his girlfriend, then an online sale led him into an FBI trap |
The Moon has been romanticised for centuries, but few people have ever tried to give…
MIT scientists watched electrons rebuild inside a quantum material; one phase grew like an ice crystal |
Deep inside a crystal cooled to nearly -230°C, MIT physicists have caught something rarely seen…
In 2007, only 6 Galápagos snapdragons were known to survive on remote lava fields; after conservationists planted 94 nursery-grown shrubs, the wild adult population has grown to 28

Yale researchers found a new way to tackle ‘forever chemicals’: they make some PFAS molecules roughly twice as large so they separate from water and become easier to destroy
forever checmicals(Representative image) Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are often called “forever chemicals” because their…
An invasive beetle wiped out black ash trees across parts of North America; scientists germinated 22,000 seeds, including genetic material from tree populations that no longer survive in the wild

The human brain usually decays first after death, so how have thousands survived for 12,000 years? Scientists uncover the chemistry behind the mystery
Representative Image (Canva) The human brain is one of the first organs to break down…
Meet Aashritha Penumudi, the 17-year-old Virginia student who created stalled ribosomes in the lab and trained AI on breast-cancer data; its predictions matched what she saw under the microscope
