A rare type of meteorite known as a CO chondrite was likely the object that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago and triggered the extinction of about 75 percent of all species, including every non-avian dinosaur. Researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Paris, Brussels, and Vienna reached that conclusion by analyzing nickel…
Dr Julie Elie of the University of California, Berkeley, received the 2026 Coller-Dolittle Prize for Two-Way Interspecies Communication after her research showed that zebra finches use 11 distinct call types linked to specific situations. By combining years of field observations with machine-learning analysis and behavioural experiments, her team found the birds responded to calls according…
The fossil turned out to be a hatchling of a crocodile-like creature, and it suggests, according to a new study, that early animals did not use metamorphosis to evolve to dwell on land Eli Stark-Elster | AAAS Mass Media Fellow June 18, 2026 Two fossils of juvenile embolomeres—crocodile-like creatures, illustrated here—suggest that they did not…
The diarrhoea-causing parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis reproduces through egg-like structures called oocysts (stained orange in this microscope image).Credit: CDC/DPDx – Melanie Moser A microscopic parasite found in contaminated food products is ruining summer meals across the United States in the largest outbreak of its kind in the country’s history. And health officials have yet to identify…
Scientists have proposed a new way to describe black holes that could overcome a major limitation in one of Stephen Hawking’s most influential ideas. The research introduces an updated approach to black hole thermodynamics that works even when black holes are changing over time, potentially offering new insights into how they form, merge, and slowly…
On a Sunday afternoon in April, the main minibus terminal in Sukabumi, Indonesia, looked sleepy from the outside. But in an open space round the back, hundreds of men were gathered. Amid chatter and cigarette smoke, the air buzzed with excitement, for one of the region’s biggest bird-singing competitions was set to begin, and a…
