Archaeologists have discovered an ancient submerged stone bridge in Genovesa Cave on Mallorca, the main island of the Balearic Archipelago and the sixth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. The discovery suggests that humans settled the western Mediterranean much earlier than previously believed. The 5,600-year-old submerged stone bridge in Genovesa Cave, Mallorca, Spain.

Paleontologists have added another species to the Cretaceous-period dinosaur fauna of Europe, and this one was found in Normandy, France. An abelisaurid tooth associated with the holotype specimen of Caletodraco cottardi. Image credit: Buffetaut et al., doi: 10.3390/fossils2030009. Caletodraco cottardi lived in what is now France durign the Cenomanian age of the Early Cretaceous epoch

Astrophysicists with the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration have conducted test observations achieving the highest resolution ever obtained from the surface of the Earth, by detecting light from the centers of distant galaxies at a frequency of around 345 GHz. When combined with existing images of supermassive black holes at the hearts of Messier 87
Astronomers using the Murchison Widefield Array in Western Australia have searched for alien signals at a 10 kHz spectral resolution originating from a population of about 2,800 galaxies toward the Vela supernova remnant. This illustration shows what the activities of a Kardashev Type III civilisation might look like – encapsulating the energy of stars by
In a paper published today in the Astronomical Journal, astronomers analyzed the evolution of massive galaxies at redshifts of 4-8 selected from the JWST Cosmic Evolution Early Release Survey (CEERS).

Fossil fuels have been the main driver of Nigeria's economy since the 1960s, so it can be difficult for a renewable energy company to get a look-in. SunFi, which helps people finance solar panels and storage batteries, aims to change all that and turned to Studio Morfar in Copenhagen to create a short video to
Bubble use evolved in many small invertebrates to enable underwater breathing, but, until recently, there has been no evidence that vertebrate animals use bubbles in a similar manner. Only one group of vertebrates, semi-aquatic Anolis lizards, may be an exception: these lizards dive underwater when threatened and, while underwater, rebreathe a bubble of air over
Paleontologists have described a new species of fossil comma shrimp based on a well-preserved specimen found in the Japanese prefecture of Shizuoka. Makrokylindrus itoi. Image credit: Javier Luque & Sarah Gerken, doi: 10.1111/ivb.12440. “Comma shrimp, or cumaceans, are a group of small peracarid crustaceans with over 1,900 living species currently described worldwide,” said Dr. Javier
Archaeologists have unearthed hundreds of Clovis stone tools at the 13,000-year-old campsite of Belson in southwest Michigan; Clovis people traveled to this site annually, probably in the summer, for at least three but likely up to five consecutive years; the stone artifacts also show evidence that the settlers’ diets included a wide variety of animals
Ballard Power Systems says it has started restructuring its global operations to cut costs due to slower hydrogen infrastructure development and delayed fuel cell adoption.
