Massive Iron Age deposits discovered in Britain may be from the funeral of a powerful Celtic queen
Two huge caches of burnt Iron Age metal weapons, ships, chariots and carts found in northern England were likely part of a royal funeral for the queen, archaeologists say. Metal detectors discovered the hoard near the Yorkshire village of Melsonby in 2021 and alerted archaeologists. Excavators discovered two separate deposits containing more than 950 artifacts […]
A cannonball-sized meteor crashes through the roof of a Texas home as multiple ‘fireballs’ rain down on the US
A Houston family is counting their luck that no one was hurt after a cantaloupe-sized meteor crashed through the roof of their home and ricocheted around an empty bedroom. The space rock is most likely a fragment of the meteorite that witnesses saw smash into pieces with a thud in the deep blue skies of […]
The Iran war has already released staggering amounts of carbon dioxide, with the destruction of schools, homes and buildings being the biggest source.
In the first two weeks of the war between the US, Israel and Iran, current and future greenhouse gas emissions have increased so much that they have exhausted the world’s carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined, a new analysis has found. According to the researchers, between February 28 and March 14, 2026, parties to […]
Rare active volcanoes on Mars could be causing the entire Earth to spin faster
Scientists know that Mars’ rotation has become a little faster each year, but the cause has remained a mystery. Now, a new study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets on February 18 suggests the reason may lie deep underground, where giant plumes of buoyant rock may be stirring beneath the Martian crust. This […]
AI compresses billions of years of evolution into seconds, creating a ‘Lego-like robot’ that can recover after losing a limb
Researchers have developed a robot equipped with artificial intelligence that can autonomously navigate all types of terrain and keep moving even after severe damage. Dubbed “legged metamachines,” these awkward-looking bots could reveal insights into human and animal evolution and provide a path for future robots to overcome limitations in locomotion, their creators say. The robot […]
Colorado River negotiations are stalled between seven states, leading to water shortages. What happens next?

Chemistry student develops clear polish that turns fingernails into touchscreen stylus
University students realized that people with long fingernails and calloused fingertips had trouble operating smartphones, so they created a prototype of an abrasive that turns fingernails into touchscreen stylus. Manasi Desai, a student at Centenary University in Louisiana with an interest in cosmetic chemistry, launched the project with her research advisor, Joshua Lawrence, an associate […]
Russia’s rocket heading to the ISS suffers from a major problem with its antenna, triggering a remote-controlled astronaut backup plan
A Russian unmanned rocket carrying vital supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) suffered a serious “malfunction” after liftoff, and the cargo plane will no longer be able to autonomously dock to the station, NASA has warned. As a result, the cosmonauts (Russian cosmonauts) may have to use a “backup system” to remotely dock the […]
