Researchers have directly observed torsional Alfvén waves twisting through the Sun's corona -- magnetic waves first predicted over 80 years ago. Captured using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, these motions could explain why the corona is ...

A massive crater hidden beneath the Atlantic seafloor has been confirmed as the result of an asteroid strike from 66 million years ago. The new 3D seismic data reveals astonishing details about the violent minutes following impact--towering tsunamis, ...

The Southern Ocean absorbs nearly half of all ocean-stored human CO2, but its future role is uncertain. Despite models predicting a decline, researchers found that freshening surface waters are currently keeping deep CO2 trapped below. This ...

New research shows that the rise of Sumer was deeply tied to the tidal and sedimentary dynamics of ancient Mesopotamia. Early communities harnessed predictable tides for irrigation, but when deltas cut off the Gulf's tides, they faced crisis and ...

Researchers traced tremor signals deep inside Tanzania's Oldoinyo Lengai volcano, pinpointing their 3D locations for the first time. The study revealed linked tremors at different depths, offering a rare glimpse into magma and gas movement. Because . ...

A team of researchers has developed a floral-scented fungus that tricks mosquitoes into approaching and dying. The fungus emits longifolene, a natural scent that irresistibly draws them in. It's harmless to humans, inexpensive to produce, and remains ...

Researchers found that life expectancy growth in wealthy nations has dramatically slowed since 1939. Once driven by major reductions in child mortality, longevity gains are now limited by slower progress in older-age survival. The study suggests no . ...

GLP-1 drugs, originally developed for diabetes and obesity, may also curb addictive behaviors by acting on reward circuits in the brain. Early trials show reductions in alcohol intake, opioid seeking, and nicotine use. Though more research is needed, ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, they detected energy shifts showing electrons ...

Dinosaurs weren't dying out before the asteroid hit--they were thriving in vibrant, diverse habitats across North America. Fossil evidence from New Mexico shows that distinct "bioprovinces" of dinosaurs existed until the very end. Their extinction .. ...
