Scientists discovered that deep earthquake faults can heal far faster than expected, sometimes within hours. Slow slip events in Cascadia reveal repeated fault movements that only make sense if the fault quickly regains strength. Lab experiments show ...

Scientists have uncovered a long-missing piece of the volcanic puzzle: rising magma doesn't just form explosive gas bubbles when pressure drops--it can do so simply by being sheared and "kneaded" inside a volcano's conduit. These shear forces can ...

Scientists have traced kissing back to early primates, suggesting it began long before humans evolved. Their analysis points to great apes and even Neanderthals sharing forms of kissing millions of years ago. The behavior appears to have persisted .. ...

Scientists used CRISPR to boost the efficiency and digestibility of a fungus already known for its meatlike qualities. The modified strain grows protein far more quickly and with much less sugar while producing substantially fewer emissions. It also ...

Scientists confirmed that West Coast transient killer whales actually form two separate groups split between inner and outer coastal habitats. Inner-coast whales hunt smaller prey in shallow, maze-like waterways, while outer-coast orcas pursue large ...

New climate modeling shows that heatwaves will keep getting hotter, longer, and more frequent for centuries--even after the world hits net-zero emissions. Delays of just a few years dramatically increase the likelihood of extreme, once-rare heat ...

Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside Earth--hidden formations that have puzzled researchers for decades. New modeling suggests that slow leakage of elements from . ...

Researchers have launched the first coordinated plan to protect microbial biodiversity, calling attention to the "invisible 99% of life" that drives essential Earth systems. The IUCN has formally recognized this effort through the creation of the ...

Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production and even maintains this process for weeks. It ...

A nationwide analysis has uncovered how sprawling fossil fuel infrastructure sits surprisingly close to millions of American homes. The research shows that 46.6 million people live within about a mile of wells, refineries, pipelines, storage sites, . ...
