Scientists have discovered that a fossil site in Colorado was once the equivalent of a popular nightclub back in the long-ago Cretaceous era. In those times, male dinosaurs, some similar to the Tyrannosaurus rex, traveled to this once long-ago plain of tidal mud to preen and bust dance moves — even doing what the researchers described as a prehistoric moonwalk …

Memories of places “drift” across the brain as they are carried by different sets of neurons over time, a new study in mice suggests. Historically, neuroscientists thought that memories of locations and features of our immediate environment were encoded by specific “place cells.” These place cells, located in a key memory center called the hippocampus, light up when a mammal …

On July 26, 2025, the four astronauts of SpaceX’s Crew-11 mission made their way to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, marking a crucial milestone ahead of their scheduled liftoff to the International Space Station (ISS) on July 31. This arrival comes after their departure from Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, where they boarded a NASA aircraft and flew to …

In March 2025, central Myanmar was struck by a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake—the strongest to hit the region in over a century and one of the deadliest in its modern history. What sets this seismic event apart is the capture of the fault’s sudden rupture in real time by a nearby CCTV camera, marking the first-ever video evidence of such …

What do you get when you stare at the same dead star for more than 20 years? Insight into the weirdest physics in the universe. The star PSR J0922+0638 is a pulsar. Pulsars are neutron stars — the ultradense leftover cores of long-dead stars — that spin rapidly and emit radiation at regular intervals. Pulsars have some of the wildest …

A recent groundbreaking study published in Geophysical Research Letters has revealed an astonishing new insight: Earth’s rotational axis has shifted 31.5 inches in less than two decades, largely due to human activities such as groundwater pumping. This unexpected discovery challenges conventional understanding of Earth’s rotation and its link to climate change. Experts now suggest that this tilt could have more …
