Fresh evidence suggests early Earth wasn't locked under a rigid stagnant lid but was already experiencing intense subduction. Ancient melt inclusions and advanced simulations point to continents forming far earlier than expected. The findings ...

This year's ozone hole over Antarctica ranked among the smallest since the early 1990s, reflecting steady progress from decades of global action under the Montreal Protocol. Declining chlorine levels and warmer stratospheric temperatures helped limit ...

Experiments reveal that pond frogs can eat highly venomous hornets without suffering noticeable damage, even after repeated stings. Most frogs successfully consumed hornets, including the notorious Asian giant hornet. This unusual resilience suggests ...

Scientists have captured a never-before-seen, high-resolution look at influenza's stealthy invasion of human cells, revealing that the cells aren't just helpless victims. Using a groundbreaking imaging technique, researchers discovered that our cells ...

Ancient anaconda fossils show that the snakes became giants soon after emerging in Miocene South America. Their size has stayed stable for over 12 million years, even though other huge reptiles went extinct. Surprisingly, warmer periods didn't make . ...

Researchers recreated conditions from billions of years ago and found that Earth's young atmosphere could make key molecules linked to life. These sulfur-rich compounds, including certain amino acids, may have formed naturally in the sky. The results ...

Ant pupae that are fatally sick don't hide their condition; instead, they release a special scent that warns the rest of the colony. This signal prompts worker ants to open the pupae's cocoons and disinfect them with formic acid, stopping the ...

Scientists have discovered a strange tubular structure inside Profftella, a symbiotic bacterium in the Asian citrus psyllid. These long, helical tubes, filled with ribosomes, show a complexity not typically found in bacteria. The discovery reshapes . ...

Scientists found that adult bristleworm eyes grow continuously thanks to a rim of neural stem cells similar to those in vertebrate eyes. This growth is surprisingly regulated by environmental light via a vertebrate-like c-opsin. The discovery reveals ...

Archaeologists excavating the ancient Roman city of Gabii have uncovered a massive stone-lined basin that may represent one of Rome's earliest monumental civic structures. Its central placement hints that early Romans were already experimenting with ...
