In 1903, a mining engineer staked a claim on Arizona's Meteor Crater, convinced a fortune in iron lay beneath the floor, and spent 26 years drilling for a meteorite that had mostly vaporized on impact — his family still owns the crater today, and science later proved him right about everything except the treasure
1+ day, 10+ hour ago (26+ words) A wealthy engineer bet his fortune on a hole in the ground that science said was worthless, and spent three decades proving the experts catastrophically wrong....
Physicist Bhupal Dev at Washington University used the debris from GW170817 — the 2017 neutron star merger — to squeeze new limits on axion-like particles, treating the hot post-collision remnant as a natural forge for dark-matter candidates
4+ day, 23+ hour ago (302+ words) Physicist Bhupal Dev and colleagues have used the multi-year record of GW170817 — the 2017 neutron star merger seen in both gravitational waves and light — to tighten bounds on axion-like particles, treating the hot post-collision remnant as a natural forge for dark matter…...
Cambridge researchers kept a computer chip running for a year using blue-green algae in a container about the size of an AA battery — the living power source harvested energy from light and continued supplying electricity through periods of darkness
5+ day, 3+ min ago (46+ words) Living organisms just proved they can power our devices—without batteries, charging cables, or human intervention....
A meteorite that punched through a New Jersey roof carried amino acids and evidence of ancient salty water — clues to the chemistry that may have helped supply early Earth with the ingredients for life
6+ day, 1+ hour ago (631+ words) A space rock that crashed through a New Jersey home carries organic molecules and signs of water—suggesting how asteroids may have seeded Earth's primordial chemistry. Published September 8, 2026 · How we edit A hole in the bedroom ceiling, black grit spread…...
Researchers traced Leonardo da Vinci’s family through 21 generations and found matching Y-chromosome markers in six living men — now bones from a Renaissance family tomb could connect that genetic trail directly to his time
6+ day, 1+ hour ago (429+ words) A genetic thread stretches across five centuries, connecting living descendants to the Renaissance master through his prolific father—and newly excavated remains could prove it. Published September 8, 2026 · How we edit Leonardo da Vinci had no children, which makes the six…...
Astronomers long expected the Milky Way and Andromeda to collide in about 4.5 billion years — but a 2025 study in Nature Astronomy, using Hubble and Gaia data, estimated only a roughly 50–50 chance of the galaxies merging within the next 10 billion years.
1+ week, 8+ hour ago (810+ words) The 2025 estimate depended on uncertain motions and neighbouring galaxies. A 2026 follow-up put the merger probability higher, showing why the forecast remains sensitive to the measurements. By Deep Field · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 7, 2026 · How we edit The Milky Way’s…...
Nearly every element in your body except hydrogen was forged by stars—the calcium in your bones and much of the iron in your blood came through ancient supernovae, while the hydrogen flowing through you was born before the first star existed.
1+ week, 2+ day ago (982+ words) Hydrogen predates the stars, while generations of stellar fusion, supernovae and galactic recycling supplied the heavier elements now arranged into living bodies....
Scientists found a 3.7-billion-year-old chemical fingerprint in Australia’s oldest rocks that lines up with Apollo samples when traced back through time — strengthening evidence that Earth and the Moon were mixed together in a giant ancient impact
1+ week, 3+ day ago (381+ words) A distant lunar sample and Earth's most ancient rocks are telling the same isotopic story—one that only makes sense if a catastrophic collision once scrambled our planet and its future Moon together....
Every 97 days, a Neptune-sized world looms above Kepler-36b, spanning roughly 2.5 times the apparent diameter of our full Moon. At closest approach, its gravity raises enormous tides that could flex the rocky planet beneath it.
1+ week, 3+ day ago (758+ words) Kepler-36b and its Neptune-sized neighbour pass within about 1.9 million kilometres, creating a giant sky view and a powerful, changing tide across the rocky planet....
When Georgia Tech scientists tipped out a tumbler of Titan-like organic grains, 2 to 5 percent refused to fall, held to the walls by static electricity. In comparable experiments with terrestrial sand and volcanic ash, nothing stuck.
1+ week, 3+ day ago (875+ words) Organic grain analogues clung to a nitrogen-filled tumbler after becoming charged, but later tholin tests show why the result cannot yet be assumed to describe Titan's real dunes....
