A recent study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has revealed an extraordinary feature in the male spotted ratfish, a shark-like species inhabiting the sea off the northeastern Pacific coast. Researchers discovered that this fish possesses true teeth on a forehead appendage used in mating, overturning decades of assumptions about the exclusive oral location of vertebrate teeth. …

Remember when DeepSeek briefly shook up the entire artificial intelligence industry by launching its large language model, R1, that was trained for a fraction of the money that OpenAI and other big players were pouring into their models? Thanks to a new paper published by the DeepSeek AI team in the journal Nature, we finally know what it took to …

The powerful NSF Inouye Solar Telescope has just delivered absolutely mind-blowing observations of its first X-class solar flare. On 8 August 2024, the telescope managed to capture one of the most powerful flares our Sun is capable of producing – at a remarkable resolution of just four Earths across. This level of detail reveals some of the finest structures we’ve …

Men appear to be dying disproportionately from preventable diseases and conditions way more than women, and in many cases it’s their own damn fault: because they’re refusing to go to the doctor until it’s too late. In interviews with the New York Times, doctors and public health experts expressed concerns with the state of men’s preventative care, which they say many …

Astronomers have directly observed the transformation of a dying star over a span of 130 years, marking one of the most extraordinary long-term studies in stellar astrophysics. The results, published in The Astrophysical Journal in August 2025, focus on the planetary nebula IC 418, also known as the spirograph nebula. Researchers documented a dramatic rise in the temperature of the central …

Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna have demonstrated a precise method for reversing time in a quantum system, achieving an average fidelity of more than 95%. The study, published in Optica, shows that it is possible to make a quantum particle return to a previous state without knowing anything about its internal dynamics—a feat …

Cicadas in southern India have been found to start their dawn chorus with remarkable accuracy, timing their song to a precise level of light during the pre-dawn hours. Researchers discovered that the insects begin singing when the sun is exactly 3.8 degrees below the horizon – a moment known as civil twilight. Recording cicada songs The study, published in the …
