Research reveals 14,000-year-old mummification traditions in Southeast Asia, predating other known practices. Smoked, flexed remains link early hunter-gatherers to modern customs in New Guinea and Australia.
Boudica, queen of the Iceni, led a revolt against Roman rule in Britain. Despite her defeat, she became a British heroine. Her burial location remains a mystery, sparking 19th-century speculation.
New system uses DART mission data to calculate the best impact location on Earth-threatening asteroids, minimizing the risk of gravitational keyholes. Apophis' 2029 flyby is a safe test.
JWST reveals Pismis 24 in the Lobster Galaxy: Powerful stellar winds and UV radiation from massive young stars sculpt gas and dust, birthing new stars in a cosmic nursery. Colors reveal gas density and starlight.
Peeling tape generates high voltage via triboelectricity, creating 'micro-lightning' that can drive chemical reactions. This green chemistry method could replace toxic chemicals by using static electricity.
Explore cosmic threats to Earth, including magnetic field flips, meteorite impacts, and supernovae, and their potential impact on human evolution and Neanderthal extinction. Were ancient humans affected?
Astronomers have detected RBFLOAT, a powerful FRB (Fast Radio Burst) traced to a galaxy in Ursa Major. The signal, twice as intense as previous FRBs, may be linked to a magnetar system. CHIME played a key role.
Clinical trials show LSD may offer quick anxiety relief, with higher doses yielding significant improvements over placebo. FDA fast-tracks LSD formula development for anxiety treatment. Larger trials are underway.
Rodents' evolutionary success may stem from thumbnails aiding in food manipulation, enabling them to access nuts and seeds. Study examines thumb structure across 425+ species. Science journalism support needed.
Explore macro photography: ethical considerations, essential gear (macro lens, filters), focusing techniques, depth of field, lighting and finding subjects in your backyard. Capture stunning close-up shots!
Study reveals hepatitis B vaccine linked to a 15% lower diabetes risk, especially type 2, regardless of hepatitis B infection. Vaccine may reduce chronic inflammation affecting blood sugar regulation.
Scientists are puzzled by the lack of water in planet-forming disks in NGC 6357. JWST and upgraded observatories are crucial to understanding the role of carbon dioxide and UV radiation in Earth-like world formation.
Use paper chromatography to separate leaf pigments. Discover how solvents and paper interactions reveal vibrant colors. See color molecules' movement based on their properties. Learn about pigment types and autumn colors.
New research suggests that the remains of ancient protoplanets may be hidden deep within Mars' mantle. NASA's InSight lander data reveals structures formed by impacts 4.5 billion years ago.
A woman's prosopometamorphopsia (PMO) caused faces to appear as dragons. Doctors linked it to brain lesions and abnormal activity. Treatment with valproic acid reduced hallucinations.
Explore Jupiter, nebulae like Lagoon, and Hubble's key space discoveries: galaxies, stars' radiation, asteroid collisions, and more. NASA's role and evolution in space are also covered.
H5N1 bird flu can infect human mammary glands due to specific sugars. Nursing infants could be at risk via breast milk, research suggests. Study examines virus survival and potential interventions.
