Woese Institute for Genomic Biology demonstrated ...
Cracking a Persistent Astronomical Riddle (Image Credits: Flickr) Berlin, Germany – Astronomers revealed through cutting-edge simulations a colossal, flattened dark matter formation that envelops the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, framed by expansive voids devoid of galaxies. Cracking a Persistent Astronomical Riddle Astronomers grappled for nearly a century with unexplained patterns in the movements of ...

If you could stand under the night sky thousands of years ago, with no city lights and no smartphone in your hand, what would you see? For many ancient peoples, the sky was not just a backdrop of pretty lights; it was a living map, a calendar, a clock, and sometimes a message from the ...
Not that long ago, it felt like America was quietly saying goodbye to some of its most iconic animals. Bald eagles were disappearing under clouds of toxic pesticides, wolves were ghosts in their own historic ranges, and sea turtles were washing ashore tangled in human trash. If you grew up seeing these species only in ...
If you’ve ever had one of those spine-tingling moments where the world feels a little too perfectly timed, you’re not alone. Maybe you thought of an old friend right before they called, or you noticed how the Moon and Sun just happen to look the same size in the sky, making solar eclipses possible. These ...
Most people think they know American wildlife: bald eagles, bison, alligators, maybe a black bear if they have good luck or bad timing. But hidden in deserts, swamps, and mountain forests are animals so strange and surprising they sound like they were dreamed up for a fantasy novel, not living quietly in the same country ...
Some of the smartest people alive today, with labs full of cutting‑edge tools, are still scratching their heads over inventions built by people who didn’t even have steel, electricity, or modern math. That gap between what we think “primitive” people could do and what they actually pulled off is where the real magic of history ...
For decades, planetary formation sounded almost tidy: a young star, a swirling disk of gas and dust, small rocks sticking together, and eventually planets marching in neat orbits like a model in a classroom. Then better telescopes, sharper simulations, and a flood of data from exoplanets arrived and quietly blew that orderly picture to pieces. ...
