Study site Eqalorutsit Kangilliit Sermiat (EKaS; also known as Qajuuttap Sermia) is, to our knowledge, the only major Greenlandic tidewater outlet glacier that has continuously gained mass over the past three decades52. At the calving front, the Eqalorutsit Kangilliit fjord is 280–300 m deep and filled with sediments, resulting in a flat bathymetry across the fjord. At the eastern part of …

A meteorite that tore through the roof of a U.S. home in June 2025 has been dated at 4.56 billion years old, making it roughly 20 million years older than Earth itself. The impact occurred on June 26 in the state of Georgia, when witnesses reported a bright fireball streaking across the sky, followed by a loud boom. The meteorite …

In 2023, astronomers recorded one of the most extraordinary space explosions they had ever seen. It took place some 750 million light-years away, flaring into the detectors of the Zwicky Transient Facility on 7 July. At first, it looked just like a normal supernova – the explosive death of a star – and astronomers named it SN 2023zkd. Six months …

The three robots worked as a team to enter and map an underground tunnel.Credit: Carlos Pérez-del-Pulgar To explore volcanic tunnels on the Moon or Mars, send a team of specialized robots. Researchers have demonstrated this approach in tests on Lanzarote, an island in Spain, with one rover helping another to rappel down a vertical shaft into a subterranean cave. Testing …

Summary: Researchers have identified a genetic region, HAR123, that may help explain what makes the human brain unique. Acting as a transcriptional enhancer, HAR123 influences the development of neural progenitor cells, which give rise to neurons and glial cells, and plays a role in determining their ratio. This regulation appears to support cognitive flexibility, a distinctly human trait involving the …

PULLMAN, Wash. — Scientists at Washington State University’s (WSU) Puyallup Research & Extension Center have been working to find out why coho salmon in Puget Sound creeks seem to suffocate after rainstorms. Coho, or silver salmon are born in freshwater streams in the Pacific Northwest, swimming hundreds of miles to the ocean, where they spend most of their lives. A …

A long-overlooked geologic fault in Canada’s remote north may be capable of producing a massive earthquake, according to new research. The Tintina Fault, stretching about 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) from British Columbia to Alaska, was once thought to be inactive for at least 40 million years. Now scientists say it has a history of large ruptures within the last 2.6 …
