scientists have unveiled a colossal underwater crater beneath Chesapeake Bay, three times the size of the Grand Canyon. Formed by an asteroid strike 35 million years ago, this discovery reshapes our understanding of catastrophic events in Earth’s history. It echoes findings from a recent Meteorite & Planetary Science study, which explores how such impacts have dramatically influenced Earth’s climate and …

Researchers have pinpointed a specific region of the brain that may explain why older adults often feel less familiar with their surroundings as they age.  Experts from Stanford University analyzed over a dozen mice similar in age to humans, ranging from 20 to 90 years old.  As the mice ran through virtual reality simulations, their brains’ medial entorhinal cortex fired …

Cancer cells unleash a rapid burst of energy when physically squeezed, triggering mitochondria to rush around the nucleus and deliver extra ATP. This newfound mechanism, observed in both lab experiments and patient biopsies, helps cells repair DNA damage and survive extreme stress.

In a groundbreaking discovery, a new species of mollusk, Bathylepeta wadatsumi, was uncovered deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. Situated 19,430 feet (nearly 6 kilometers) below the ocean surface near Japan, this limpet species pushes the boundaries of deep-sea biology. The full study, published in Zoosystematics and Evolution, provides further insights into the species’ anatomy, genetic makeup, and the importance of …

A huge “wave” is rippling through our galaxy, pushing billions of stars in its wake, a new study reveals. The Milky Way‘s galactic wave was spotted in mapping data from the European Space Agency‘s (ESA) Gaia space telescope, which charted the positions and movement patterns of millions of stars with high accuracy before retiring earlier this year. Like ripples in …

Scientists have made a promising discovery that could transform the treatment of pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of the disease. Researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research in London have identified a protein called SPP1 that plays a key role in the aggressive spread of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common form of pancreatic cancer. By blocking …

In a game like Hollow Knight: Silksong, where a mere pixel can ruin an entire ruin, it’s important to be properly informed. While the second major patch for the devilish Metroidvania helpfully listed some of the notable changes in a blog post, players have since discovered a handful of adjustments that aren’t noted anywhere. Some of these tweaks are minor, …

A supermassive black hole in the far reaches of the Universe has been found guzzling down material at one of the fastest rates ever seen. At the heart of a quasar galaxy called RACS J0320-35, just 920 million years after the Big Bang, the black hole appears to be devouring matter at 2.4 times the Eddington limit – the theoretical …
