Two tiny pterosaurs, preserved for 150 million years, have revealed a surprising cause of death: violent storms. Researchers at the University of Leicester discovered both hatchlings, nicknamed Lucky and Lucky II, with broken wings—injuries consistent with being tossed through the…
A team of chemists has discovered how to transform PET plastic waste into BAETA, a material that captures CO2 with remarkable efficiency. Instead of ending up as microplastics in the environment, discarded bottles and textiles could become tools to combat…
Ghost sharks have evolved rows of true teeth on a bizarre forehead rod used for mating. Fossil and genetic evidence revealed the tenaculum’s teeth develop the same way as those inside the mouth, offering a striking example of evolution’s ability…
UC Santa Barbara researchers project that human impacts on oceans will double by 2050, with warming seas and fisheries collapse leading the charge. The tropics and poles face the fastest changes, and coastal regions will be hardest hit, threatening food…
Beijing’s recent military parade unveiled new hypersonic and intercontinental missiles alongside stealth drones, highlighting China’s expanding strike and defense capabilities
JetBlue will start using Amazon’s Project Kuiper broadband satellites for in-flight Wi-Fi in 2027. It’s a big win for Jeff Bezos’ company and its nascent internet constellation.
The seven members of the Expedition 73 crew worked on science and kept systems running on International Space Station this week in Earth orbit.
