Nobody from the city seemed to notice at first. What…
This 200 Year Old Whale Could Hold A Secret To Longer Human Lives
A whale that can live for more than 200 years has given scientists a fascinating clue about one of biology’s biggest mysteries: why some bodies age far more slowly than others. Researchers studying bowhead whales have identified a protein involved in DNA repair that may help explain how these enormous animals survive for so long.…

Earth Has Nine Critical Limits And Scientists Say Seven Are Already Crossed
Earth has nine major environmental boundaries that scientists use to track how much pressure the planet can take. A new assessment says humanity has now pushed seven of those systems beyond the limits considered safe. The latest findings include worsening climate pressure, accelerating biodiversity loss and a newly breached ocean acidification boundary. Yet there is…
Mercury Could Be Smaller Than Its Ancient Size By Miles
Mercury has been shrinking for billions of years, but scientists may have seriously underestimated how much the planet has contracted. A new analysis suggests its roughest terrain has been hiding evidence of that dramatic change. The revised estimate puts Mercury’s radial contraction between 6.9 and 11.6 kilometers. At the upper end, that could mean the…

The Climate Warning Signs Are Becoming Impossible To Ignore
The warning signs are no longer confined to climate models or distant projections. Forests are burning across huge areas, crops are being threatened by shifting rainfall, oceans are reaching extraordinary temperatures, and glaciers are changing the stability of mountain landscapes. No single disaster defines the climate crisis. Instead, a series of increasingly severe events is…
