NASA Finds Lost Cold War City Beneath Greenland Ice
For most of modern history, Greenland’s vast ice sheet has been treated as a place where things disappear forever. Planes lost in World War II, ancient landscapes, forgotten experiments, and even entire human ambitions have slowly vanished beneath layers of snow and ice, seemingly locked away for eternity. But in April 2024, that assumption was…
Hidden Fungus Linked to LSD Like Compounds Finally Identified and Sequenced
For decades, scientists quietly suspected that something unusual was hiding inside one of the most common flowering plants in the world. Morning glories, often seen climbing fences or growing wild along roadsides, had long been associated with naturally occurring compounds similar to those found in LSD. These similarities were not folklore or speculation, but observations…
Radio Waves Meant for Submarines Created an Invisible Shield in Space
Humanity has a habit of changing the planet in ways no one expects. We see it in rising sea levels and vanishing glaciers. We saw it when the DART mission knocked an asteroid off course, proving our species could move celestial bodies. Yet some of our most profound impacts happen without any intention at all,…
Scientists Discover Microplastics in Clouds Are Actively Altering Weather Patterns
From the depths of the Mariana Trench to the peaks of Mount Everest, plastic pollution has been documented in almost every corner of the planet. Yet, a new frontier has emerged that is far more elusive than land or sea: the atmosphere. Recent research suggests that microscopic plastic particles are no longer just passive litter;…
The Hidden Glow That Defines Living Things
For centuries, mystics, healers, and spiritual traditions around the world have spoken of a subtle light surrounding living beings. It has been called an aura, a life force, or a luminous field that reflects health, emotion, and vitality. Until recently, these ideas lived almost entirely in the realm of subjective experience and spiritual interpretation. Modern…
Lost Underwater Drone Captured Never-Before-Seen Formations Beneath Antarctic Ice
Somewhere beneath hundreds of meters of frozen Antarctic ice, a seven-meter robot lies silent in the dark. Its batteries died weeks ago. Its last known position remains a mystery. And the secrets it carried with it may never surface. Ran was no ordinary underwater vehicle. Built by the University of Gothenburg and valued at 38…
For the First Time in Years, Antarctica Shows a Massive Annual Ice Gain Exceeding 100 Billion Tons
For the first time in decades, Antarctica has delivered a climate story that caught almost everyone off guard. After years of consistent ice loss, new research published in Science China Earth Sciences reports that the Antarctic Ice Sheet gained mass between 2021 and 2023. This shift is remarkable both because of its scale and because…
How a Simple Agate Became a Dinosaur Discovery
For more than a century, a delicate pink and white sphere sat quietly in the Mineralogy Collection of the Natural History Museum in London. It was admired for its beauty and symmetry and regarded as a fine example of agate. Generations of curators cataloged it, moved it, displayed it and stored it again without suspecting…
How Uranus Almost Carried a Royal Name That History Rejected
Most planets in our solar system carry names that feel ancient and inevitable, like echoes from a mythic past whispered through the centuries. Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Mercury sound like they have always belonged to the sky. Yet Uranus, that cyan ice giant rolling sideways through the heavens, has a history that is strangely…
Scientists Uncover the Surprising All Body Brain of Sea Urchins
Sea urchins have long been pictured as simple marine grazers, drifting over rocks and reefs with little more to their biology than a spiny exterior and a slow-moving lifestyle. Yet recent scientific research has brought these quiet ocean dwellers into the spotlight. A series of studies conducted by international teams of developmental biologists and marine…
