The iron-rich core at the centre of our planet has been a crucial part of Earth’s evolution. The core not only powers the magnetic field which shields our atmosphere and oceans from solar radiation, it also influences plate tectonics which have continually reshaped the continents. But despite its importance, many of the most fundamental properties of the core are unknown. …

A vast network of 332 submarine canyons has been discovered beneath Antarctica’s icy perimeter, dramatically expanding scientists’ understanding of how the continent interacts with global ocean systems. The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Marine Geology, stem from what researchers describe as the most detailed map ever produced of the Antarctic seafloor. The research, led by Dr David Amblàs of …

In a groundbreaking discovery in Siberia, scientists have uncovered a 44,000-year-old wolf, nearly perfectly preserved in permafrost. This remarkable find, detailed by the North-Eastern Federal University Mammoth Museum, provides unparalleled insights into Ice Age predators. The wolf’s well-preserved body, including skin, fur, and organs, offers a rare glimpse into the Pleistocene era, revolutionizing our understanding of ancient ecosystems. A Unique …

Fossils usually leave us with bones turned to stone, the hard remains of creatures long gone. But every so often, nature offers something far rarer — a glimpse of soft tissue that survived for millions of years. Researchers examining a 520-million-year-old arthropod larva were stunned to find not just an outline of the creature, but an interior anatomy preserved with …

A groundbreaking discovery of a 520-million-year-old larva fossil, with its brain and organs intact, is reshaping our understanding of arthropod evolution. Using advanced 3D imaging, scientists have revealed unprecedented details of this ancient specimen, offering new insights into the origins of modern arthropods. The study, published in Nature, marks a major milestone in paleontology. The Discovery of a Lifetime: Why …

Mitochondria may be best known for fueling cells, but new research reveals they also play a surprising role in the spread of cancer. Credit: Stock Rockefeller researchers have discovered that the antioxidant glutathione, acting within mitochondria, plays a crucial role in allowing breast tumors to spread to the lung.

New research suggests that the loss of smell in early Alzheimer’s may stem from the brain’s immune cells dismantling critical neural pathways, offering fresh clues for early detection. Credit: Shutterstock Immune-driven nerve fiber damage may underlie early smell loss in Alzheimer’s, offering a new path for early diagnosis. A diminishing sense of smell can appear as one of the earliest …

As annoying as catching a cold may be, there could be a silver lining. New research suggests that it may temporarily protect you from getting covid-19. Researchers revealed that individuals, especially children, who had recently been infected by a rhinovirus—the most frequent culprit behind the common cold—were remarkably less likely to get a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes covid-19, …
