Researchers confirmed that Rapa Nui's moai statues could "walk" upright using a rocking motion, aided by rope and just a few people. Experiments with replicas and 3D models revealed design features like a forward lean and curved bases that made ...

Researchers at KAUST have confirmed that the Red Sea once vanished entirely, turning into a barren salt desert before being suddenly flooded by waters from the Indian Ocean. The flood carved deep channels and restored marine life in less than 100,000 ...

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle jet. The Frankfurt team's FPIC code shows that magnetic reconnection, where magnetic field lines snap and reform, works ...

By combining Gaia's massive asteroid dataset with AI modeling, scientists discovered that asteroid rotation depends on how often they've been hit. A mysterious gap in rotation speeds marks where collisions and internal friction balance out. This ...

Hubble captured a breathtaking view of NGC 6000, a spiral galaxy where blue newborn stars shine beside golden, aging ones. The image also reveals traces of ancient supernovae still glowing faintly among the stars. As a bonus, an asteroid crossed ...

Scientists have discovered that bacteria living inside tumors can produce a molecule that fights cancer and enhances chemotherapy. The molecule, called 2-methylisocitrate (2-MiCit), was found to make colorectal cancer cells more vulnerable to ...

An international team has confirmed that large quantum systems really do obey quantum mechanics. Using Bell's test across 73 qubits, they proved the presence of genuine quantum correlations that can't be explained classically. Their results show ...

Researchers in Japan have pinpointed a biological cause of Long COVID brain fog using advanced PET brain imaging. They discovered widespread increases in AMPA receptor density linked to cognitive impairment and inflammation. The findings confirm ...

Addiction often isn't about chasing pleasure--it's about escaping pain. Researchers at Scripps Research have discovered that a tiny brain region called the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) becomes hyperactive when animals learn that ...

Birds across the globe independently evolved a shared warning call against parasites, blending instinct and learning in a remarkable evolutionary pattern. The finding offers a rare glimpse into how cooperation and communication systems evolve across ...
