For millennia, the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza has remained among the most enigmatic puzzles in history. Over 2.3 million stone blocks, each averaging two tons, how did an ancient civilization without modern machinery move and assemble? A long-lost branch of the Nile buried for millennia may have been the secret road used ...
A South Korean research team has accomplished what was once thought of as science fiction: reprogramming malignant cancer cells into healthy, functional tissue without chemotherapy or radiation in a ground-breaking leap for oncology Under the direction of Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho of the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), this ground-breaking method may redefine ...
Death and life have been considered for millennia as complete opposites, a binary switch with permanent reversal. But creative new research suggests a possible third state of life whereby cells persistently function, adapt, and even create new life after the death of the organism they belonged to, so defying accepted definitions. Called a “third state,” ...
For decades, teleportation was only a concept found in science fiction perfected by Star Trek’s venerable transporter beam. But in May 2025, Northwestern University researchers made a discovery that pushes us toward that futuristic vision: successful quantum teleportation across ordinary internet cables. This milestone transforms how quickly, securely, and without physical transmission knowledge moves, not ...
Deep under the waves off Australia’s northern coast sits a lost chapter of human history that might change our knowledge of ancient migration, climate resilience, and vanished civilizations. On the submerged Northwest Sheld of Sahul, a landmass linking Australia to New Guinea tens of thousands of years ago, researchers have found the remains of a ...
For millennia, people have seen intelligence as a singular evolutionary triumph, a pinnacle attained only by mammals, with primates (and finally, humans) at the top. But apparently nature had other ideas. Modern ground-breaking studies show that intelligence developed twice in two quite different spheres of life: mammals and birds, not once. Birds have long surprised ...
Deep in Mongolia’s windswept deserts, a long-forgotten fossil has surfaced from the shadows of prehistory exposing a vital missing link in the narrative of the most terrifying predators to have ever trotted the planet. Meet Khan khuluu mongoliensis, the “Dragon Prince of Mongolia,” a recently discovered tyrannosaur that fills in between early, small-sized hunters and ...
The highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, is a land of extremes where equatorial heat gives way to Arctic ice in barely a few thousand meters. But tucked among its dramatic slopes is one of the most unusual botanical beauties in nature: the giant groundsel (Dendrosenecio kilimanjari). Rising nowhere else on Earth, these towering plants ...
For tens of thousands of years, people have been enthralled with red not only for its beauty but also for its power, symbolism, and usefulness. Red colors have shaped art, trade, war, even survival from the deep, earthy tones of ochre to the vivid carmine of crushed cochineal bugs. But why did prehistoric people travel ...
Earth’s silent regulator in heat absorption, oxygen generation, and life sustaining action has always been the ocean. But under the waves something concerning is occurring: sunlight is disappearing. According to a new study, over the past two decades, 21% of the surface waters of the ocean have darkened; some areas have lost light penetration over ...
