Researchers have recently discovered that tropical forests in Australia have become the first of their kind to emit more carbon than they absorb.
Scientists are working on finding the causes of this new anomaly in cancer research. The rate of early-onset cancers—cancer which affects those under 50—has exponentially increased since the 1990s.
Researchers studying Earth’s climate have made a grim discovery about the reality of its climate. The planet has passed its first climate tipping point, with relentlessly rising heat temperatures in the oceans pushing corals around the world past their limit.
About 60 years ago, the original Star Trek series featured a technology called a “warp drive,” which allowed space travel at speeds much faster than light.
The 2025 Ig Nobel ceremony, held at Boston University, continued the tradition of celebrating unorthodox curiosity. Winners included researchers who discovered that painting cows with zebra-like stripes reduces fly bites, scientists who studied whether drunken bats can still echolocate properly, and a team that perfected the physics of cooking the Italian dish cacio e pepe.
Can an object somewhat behave like both a planet and a star, especially when it is forming? Turns out, the answer is yes!
Recently, there has been significant research and discovery happening in Egypt — from the geographical origins of the Karnak Temple to an ongoing exploration that could reveal the elusive resting place of the country’s last pharaoh, Cleopatra VII.
