Hidden seismic signals hint at a tsunami threat in Alaska

Since 2020, scientists have installed monitoring instruments around the Barry Landslide in Alaska’s Prince William Sound to closely track seismic activity in the area. Their goal is to detect warning signs early, before a sudden landslide could trigger a destructive tsunami. By analyzing these seismic recordings, researchers identified a previously…

Science says we’ve been nurturing “gifted” kids all wrong

Exceptional performers play a major role in driving innovation and tackling some of the world’s most urgent challenges. Because of this, societies have a strong stake in understanding how top-level talent develops. A new review published in the journal Science argues that many long standing approaches to gifted education and…

Ancient sewers expose a hidden health crisis in Roman Britain

Scientists studying ancient sewer drains at the Roman fort of Vindolanda, located near Hadrian’s Wall, have uncovered evidence that the people living there were infected with three different intestinal parasites: roundworm, whipworm, and Giardia duodenalis. All three parasites spread through poor sanitation, typically when food, water, or hands are contaminated…

Scientists found a hidden clock inside dinosaur eggshells

A global team of geologists and paleontologists has developed a new technique that makes it possible to accurately determine the age of fossil-bearing rocks by directly analyzing fossilized dinosaur eggshells. This approach offers a reliable alternative to methods that depend on surrounding materials that may not always be present. The…

Subaru Telescope reveals a hidden giant planet

Astronomers working with the Subaru Telescope in Hawaiʻi have identified two remarkable objects circling distant stars: a giant planet and a brown dwarf. These findings mark the first successes of OASIS (Observing Accelerators with SCExAO Imaging Survey), a project that pairs precise space-based data with Subaru’s powerful imaging systems to…

Scientists unlocked a superconductor mystery under crushing pressure

Superconductors are materials that allow electrical current to flow with no resistance. This unique ability makes them extremely valuable for technologies such as efficient power transmission, energy storage, magnetic levitation systems, and quantum computers. The challenge is that superconductivity usually occurs only at very low temperatures, far below everyday conditions.…

Astrophysicists map the invisible universe using warped galaxies

In today’s leading model of cosmology, most of the universe is invisible: about 95 percent of the universe is made up of dark matter and dark energy. Scientists still do not know what either one actually is, but their influence is unmistakable. Dark matter provides extra gravity that helps shape…

Scientists found climate change hidden in old military air samples

By examining DNA preserved in decades-old air samples collected by the Swedish Armed Forces, scientists at Lund University in Sweden have uncovered clear evidence that the seasonal release of spores by northern mosses has changed dramatically over the last 35 years. The research shows that moss spores are now released…

Is a vegan diet safe for kids? A huge study has answers

Carefully planned vegetarian and vegan diets can support healthy growth in children when appropriate supplements are included, according to a major new meta-analysis, the most comprehensive review to date of plant-based diets in young people.
