Earlier this week police said they believe they found Decker’s remains, with Sheriff Michael Morrison speaking with …

Scientists have found proof that an asteroid hit the North Sea more than 43 million years ago causing a huge tsunami and leaving a 1.9 mile (3km) wide crater under the seabed. The Silverpit Crater is around 80 miles (128 km) off the East Yorkshire coast and was discovered in 2002. Since then geologists have disagreed over how it was …

Only a little over a week after scientists announced NASA’s Perseverance rover may have detected a potential biosignature in a Martian rock named Sapphire Canyon, a new study suggests similar habitable conditions were widespread across Jezero Crater — the site of that major discovery — broadening the stage for the search for ancient life on Mars. In the study, scientists …

Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, a severe post-infectious complication of SARS-CoV-2 emerged globally called multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), affecting mostly previously healthy children of school age. The great majority of these children were admitted to the intensive care unit, not due to pneumonia, but because of life-threatening cardiovascular involvement including myocarditis. CDC investigators were tracking MIS-C closely in …

In February 2016, scientists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) announced the first detection of gravitational waves (GW). These ripples in space time, originally predicted by Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, are caused by the merger of massive objects (like neutron stars and black holes). Since then, gravitational wave observatories like LIGO, VIRGO, and the Kamioka Gravitational Wave …

Buried deep in Greenland’s ice sheet lies a puzzling chemical signature that has sparked intense scientific debate. A sharp spike in platinum concentrations, discovered in an ice core (a cylinder of ice drilled out of ice sheets and glaciers) and dated to around 12,800 years ago, has provided support for a hypothesis that the Earth was struck by an exotic …
