A viral post claiming that marine fossils on Mount Everest prove the Biblical Great Flood has reignited an old debate about Noah’s Ark, but the geology tells a very different story. The fossils are real....

Liver cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, largely because it is often diagnosed at an advanced stage when treatment options become limited. Now, a new microbubbles for liver cancer study from China suggests...

Scientists have long known that the Sun will not shine forever. In roughly five billion years, it is expected to exhaust its hydrogen fuel, expand into a Red Giant, and dramatically reshape the Solar System....

Archaeologists in northern Laos have uncovered one of the most intriguing discoveries yet at the enigmatic Plain of Jars—a massive stone container holding the remains of 37 ancient people. The unprecedented find is offering new...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that the DNA of two previously unknown “ghost lineages” of extinct human populations still survives in people living today. One of these ancient groups appears to have contributed genetic material to...

A new study has reignited debate over one of geology’s most controversial ideas: that Earth’s biggest catastrophes—including mass extinctions, asteroid impacts, and massive volcanic eruptions—may occur on a surprisingly regular schedule. Published in the journal...

For centuries, the Amazon rainforest has been portrayed as an untouched wilderness with only scattered human settlements before European contact. A new archaeological study is challenging that long-held assumption. Using advanced laser mapping technology, researchers...

More than 80 years after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, scientists have identified a previously unknown material created during the explosion, offering fresh insight into how matter behaves under some of the most extreme conditions...

A new study proposes that some of Earth’s largest geological and biological upheavals may follow a roughly 27-million-year cycle, potentially linked to the solar system’s motion through the Milky Way. The research, led by geologist...

A new theoretical study has explored what happens when a single photon interacts with a rapidly moving mirror, producing a surprising prediction: instead of behaving like a simple reflected particle, the quantum state can evolve...
