Now more than 15 billion miles from Earth, the spacecraft has detected something extraordinary at the edge of our solar system: a blistering region so intense that it may force scientists to rethink what they know about …

Welcome back to the Abstract! Here are the studies this week that walked the walk, squeezed with ease, and became immortalized in amber.  First, ancient artifacts in Turkey might rewrite the history of early human migrations into Europe. Then: a Cretaceous insectarium, badminton in space, a breakthrough in quantum sensing, and block parties for chimps. Before we get to that, …

1.5 Million km² Buried by Magma: Colossal Plumes May Rewrite Earth’s Future Continents Fancy a science article with a side of science fiction? Great news: you’re in the right place. Here, we aren’t just gazing into the crust of the Earth—we’re peering into the planetary future and seeing dreams (and nightmares) erupt alongside volcanoes. Buckle up: the real monsters under …

The watery part of the world dominated our science news coverage this week, beginning with the alarming prediction that a key Atlantic current, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which includes the Gulf Stream, could begin its irreversible collapse in decades. That’s according to a new landmark study, which combined the predictions of 25 climate models to arrive at an …

Dinosaur DNA remains out of reach, so scientists hunt rarer clues: soft tissues entombed in bone. Using synchrotron X-rays, researchers visualized iron-rich casts of blood vessels inside a healing T. rex rib, capturing the vascular surge that follows trauma. Credit: Shutterstock Researchers uncovered blood vessels in Scotty, the largest T. rex fossil. High-powered x-rays revealed mineralized tissues that deepen our …
