Scientists can't know precisely when a volcano is about to erupt, but they can sometimes pick up telltale signs.

Around 700 million years ago, the Earth cooled so much that scientists believe massive ice sheets encased the entire planet like a giant snowball. This global deep freeze, known as Snowball Earth, endured for tens of millions of years.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a machine learning framework that uses limited water quality samples to predict which inorganic pollutants are likely to be present in a groundwater supply. The new tool allows regulators and public health authorities

A rainbow of feathers!

Laser beams have been shown to cast shadows, defying previous notions that light cannot block light. This phenomenon, demonstrated using ruby crystals and special laser settings, opens up potential uses in advanced light control and optical switching devices. Can light

Researchers have created a highly detailed cellular map of Alzheimer’s disease progression, revealing new insights into the disease’s development. By analyzing over 3.4 million cells, scientists identified specific neuron types that are lost early in Alzheimer’s, potentially unlocking new therapeutic

Early human cultures likely used stones as spindle whorls to spin fibers into yarn. A collection of perforated pebbles discovered at an archaeological site in Israel may be spindle whorls, marking a significant milestone in the development of rotational tools,

Evidence from Colorado suggests glaciers once covered Earth to the equator, supporting the Snowball Earth theory. This discovery provides insight into early climate shifts and the evolution of life. Geologists have discovered compelling evidence in Colorado that hundreds of millions

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope recently released a chilling view of two spiral galaxies, IC 2163 and NGC 2207, merging into one.

Evo is a large language model that is not trained on words but on the genomes of millions of microbes. It can accurately predict the effects of mutations.

Data from China's Zhurong rover has revealed what appears to be an ancient shoreline streaking through Mars' northern hemisphere.

Elon Musk's good standing with Donald Trump may be good news for Tesla, but not necessarily for EV makers in general.

Trump hates windmills with the power of a thousand turbines. That could hurt California, which is becoming more reliant on renewable energy.

After a decade of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, we need to expand our vision for water-friendly land in the Golden State.
