Scientists used AI to map unknown regions of the mouse brain
Scientists have used AI models like ChatGpt to create new maps of the mouse brain that capture previously unknown regions of the organ in unprecedented detail. The map, published on Tuesday (October 7th) in Journal Nature Communications, captures 1,300 areas of the brain, and is the first region to detail brain regions without the need […]
Shackleton’s infamous ship “There were obviously some structural defects in durability,” a new analysis reveals
The durability of the infamous ship that sank into Antarctica in 1915 was not built for polar voyages as previously thought. Explorer Ernest Shackleton sailed durability to Antarctica in 1914 as part of a failed British expedition to cross the continent on foot. The ship was trapped in the ice of the Weddell Sea and […]
Giraffe-sized asteroid zooms past Earth, closer to its satellites – astronomers didn’t catch it until hours later
The near-Earth Asteroid 2025 TF (red mating) approached Earth on Wednesday (October 1) as close to Earth as the International Space Station, evading detection until hours later. (Image credit: ESA/Las Cumbres Observatory) Last week, an asteroid, smaller than most satellites, passed through Earth and zoomed. Astronomers didn’t notice until a few hours later. According to […]
The Dramatic “Fireballs” Expected During This Week’s Draconid Meteor Shower: How to Enjoy the Best Views
If you’re out right after a dark Wednesday (October 8th), look for a chance to find a “fireball” as the peak of the annual Draconido meteor shower. The meteor shower is predicted to produce only about 10 “shooting stars” per hour at peak that night, but Draconido is still a valuable skywatching event. This is […]
A 2,700-year-old temple with a “sacred cave” discovered in Türkiye – and it may honor “mother goddess”
Archaeologists have discovered a temple that is two to seven hundred years old in Türkiye. Discovered near the modern city of Denizli, this temple was built by the Frisians, who had a kingdom in the area between 1200 and 650 BC. She was known by several names, including “Mattan”, “Matar”, and “Sybele”. Other cultures such […]
Fatal Mamba Snakebits stop the movement of the muscles, but sometimes anti-vivenom can send them overdrive
After antivenom is administered, symptoms of mambasnake acidosis may worsen in patients. Scientists can finally find out why. The complex interaction of toxins and anti-toxicity within the body reveals hidden neurological symptoms from specific toxins in the venom. These masked symptoms manifest when the effects of other, equally dangerous toxins are neutralized. These findings, published […]
Interstellar comet 3i/Atlas may come from the mystical frontiers of the early Milky Way, new research tips
Astronomers may be trapped in the age and origin of interstellar comet 3i/Atlas as they barrel towards the center of our solar system. A new study modelling the last 4 million years of cometary journeys through the Milky Way provides hints that interstellar visitors come from afar. This could be derived from the wild frontier […]
Leopards ate the faces of our ancient human ancestors, AI analysis reveals
Almost two million years ago, leopards likely hunted and feasted East African human ancestors, new research finds. Using an artificial intelligence (AI) analysis tool, this study provides insight into the end of two prehistoric individuals from Archaic Human Species Homo Habilis, one of the earliest members of the genus HOMO. In previous studies, H. Habilis […]
