The same waterlogged earth that entombed victims now impedes the rescuers trying to reach them, turning a search for the missing into a race against collapsing terrain.
As Rwanda's mountain gorillas multiply, conservationists confront a harder problem than poaching: there simply isn't enough forest left.
When one ocean basin quiets down, another roars to life—forcing forecasters to cover two storm seasons simultaneously.
How a decade-old wisdom quote finds new life in the scroll—and why it keeps resurfacing when people need it most.
Germany's manufacturing elite are demanding workers trade shorter hours for less pay, betting they can reshape decades of labor protections before contract talks heat up.
The actor's journey through forgotten Westerns reveals how he played against type long before he became science fiction's most iconic figure.
GRB 061201 was the textbook "hostless" burst. A team led from the Purple Mountain Observatory weighs two candidate galaxies against each other and finds the faint one wins on most tests, loses the formal chance-alignment score, and carries one loud caveat: its redshift is fitted rather than measured.
ALMA detected ionised oxygen in a galaxy seen before the universe was 300 million years old, supporting rapid stellar enrichment while leaving its exact history open.
The 2025 estimate depended on uncertain motions and neighbouring galaxies. A 2026 follow-up put the merger probability higher, showing why the forecast remains sensitive to the measurements.
Saturn's symmetry breaks: a ten-sided storm now mirrors the planet's legendary hexagon, suggesting these geometric puzzles obey deeper physics we're only beginning to understand.
Artificial intelligence led archaeologists to caves in Ireland where they discovered art suggesting humans arrived thousands of years before anyone thought possible.
For the first time, astronomers can map the cosmos in bulk, capturing the light signatures of a thousand distant objects at once to unlock the history of billions of galaxies.
A hypothetical sugarmaker illustrates a real Social Security rule: certain payments for work completed before retirement can be excluded from the earnings test.
What begins as a teenage science project can become a lifelong commitment—if you're patient enough to let nature do the work.
The discovery challenges assumptions about how single-celled life reproduces, revealing a microbe that births generations within itself before explosive release.
An 1879 experiment to test the limits of seed longevity has become one of science's longest-running projects, with some seeds still viable after 142 years underground.
