The study, led by the University of Tübingen and published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, marks a major advance in ancient DNA recovery. It challenges long-held assumptions that genetic material can only survive for millennia in frozen or sheltered environments like caves or permafrost. Instead, the Schöningen site, known for its well-preserved wooden tools, is now the backdrop for an …

After many years of using ‘Pro’ iPhones, this year I bought an iPhone Air instead. My first impressions were very positive, but I knew there might come a time I missed the Pro’s battery life and cameras. But a recent trip to Disney World with the iPhone Air brought surprising results. Putting iPhone Air to the test at Disney World …

As he explained why the club traded superstar Rafael Devers to the Giants, he stuck his neck out with a prediction on what was to come. “At the end of the season,” Breslow said, …

For the first time, astronomers have observed something like a Pluto colliding with a white dwarf, the shriveled corpse of a medium-size star. The white dwarf, dubbed WD 1647+375, is about 260 light-years away from Earth in space. Despite its distance, this dead star’s realm might have had striking similarities to our own solar system, including something akin to a Kuiper …

A massive eruption 74,000 years ago affected the whole planet – archaeologists use volcanic glass to figure out how people survived  SpaceView Full Coverage on Google News Source link

If you were lucky 74,000 years ago, you would have survived the Toba supereruption, one of the largest catastrophic events that Earth has seen in the past 2.5 million years. While the volcano is located in what’s now Indonesia, living organisms across the entire globe were potentially affected. As an archaeologist who specializes in studying volcanic eruptions of the past, …

Published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, more than a decade after King cracked the concept, “The Long Walk” is technically …

In 1978, while inspecting a faulty detector inside the Soviet Union’s most powerful particle accelerator, physicist Anatoli Bugorski was struck in the head by a proton beam traveling close to the speed of light. Amazingly, Bugorski remains alive to this day, and while government secrecy prevented details of his medical assessment from being leaked, researchers have now reconstructed the path …
