Ancient bones discovered in a cave in Vietnam could belong to one of the world’s earliest known victims of homicide. An analysis of the bones and circumstances of his death suggests that the man, aged around 35 years at the time of his death, some 12,000 years ago, died at the hands of another human. If so, it would be …

A child’s skeleton, found nearly a century ago in Skhul Cave on Mount Carmel in Israel, has taken on new meaning after a modern re-analysis. A fresh look at the skull and jaw, dated to roughly 140,000 years ago, suggests that the remains show a blend of Homo sapiens and Neanderthal traits. The authors say this specimen is …

The first tandem OLED screen technology was introduced by Apple when it launched its M4 iPad Pro models, bringing a ton of benefits to the table. The company is exploring bringing the same additions to the iPhone, but it will take a couple of years for this transition to happen. However, according to the latest report, one of the Cupertino …

A monster galaxy from the early universe shows that the cosmos was rich with oxygen when it was only less than 3% of its present age, astronomers have found. The discovery raises questions about how early life could have first appeared in the universe. This isn’t the first time astronomers have looked at that enigmatic galaxy, named JADES-GS-z11-0. It was …

Astronomers have confirmed the earliest, most distant black hole yet – and it’s surprisingly monstrous for its time. Residing in a galaxy called CAPERS-LRD-z9, it was already approximately 300 million times the mass of the Sun just 500 million years after the Big Bang, when the baby Universe was just 3 percent of its current age. Additionally, this discovery sheds …

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified the earliest black hole found thus far, dating back to more than 13 billion years ago. The black hole and its home galaxy, together dubbed CAPERS-LRD-z9, existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang. Its properties could help researchers understand what the universe was like in that elusive early …

But Whitehouse presented a third line of evidence to dispute the 3.95 billion-year date: isotopes of hafnium in the same zombie zircon crystals. The technique relies on radioactive decay of lutetium–176 to hafnium–176. If the 2.8-billion-year age resulted from rejuvenation by later heating, it would have had to have formed from material with a hafnium isotope ratio incompatible with the …
