Scientists have mapped the genetics of cancer in cats for the first time at scale, uncovering major overlaps with human cancers. Key mutations--like those linked to breast cancer--appear in both species, and some human cancer drugs may also work in . ...

Pink granite boulders sitting mysteriously atop Antarctica's Hudson Mountains have led scientists to a stunning discovery: a hidden granite mass buried beneath Pine Island Glacier, stretching nearly 100 km wide and 7 km thick. By dating the rocks to ...

Some feathered dinosaurs may have briefly taken to the skies--only to give it up later. By studying rare fossils with preserved feathers, researchers uncovered a surprising clue hidden in molting patterns, revealing that Anchiornis likely couldn't .. ...

A critically ill 33-year-old man survived an almost unimaginable scenario--living for 48 hours without lungs--thanks to a groundbreaking surgical approach. After a severe flu-triggered infection destroyed his lungs and caused multiple organ failure, ...

Kepler-51d is a giant, ultra-light "super-puff" planet wrapped in an unusually thick haze that's blocking scientists from seeing what it's made of. Observations from JWST revealed that this haze may be one of the largest ever detected, possibly ...

MIT physicists have built a powerful new microscope that uses terahertz light to uncover hidden quantum motions inside superconductors. By compressing this normally unwieldy light into a tiny region, they were able to observe electrons moving ...

Bull sharks may have a reputation as lone hunters, but new research reveals they actually form social bonds and even have preferred "friends." After six years of observing 184 sharks in Fiji, scientists discovered these animals don't just mix ...

Astronomers have identified a strange new kind of exoplanet that challenges how scientists classify worlds beyond our Solar System. The planet, L 98-59 d, appears to contain a vast ocean of molten rock beneath its surface that traps large amounts of ...

A mysterious metal-rich asteroid called Psyche has been baffling scientists for over two centuries, and its true origin remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in planetary science. Is it the exposed core of a failed planet, or a chaotic mix ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed new details in a bizarre nebula that looks like a brain floating in space. Formed by a dying star, the "Exposed Cranium" nebula shows layered gas and a dark central divide that creates its eerie shape. Webb ...
