The dingo is a wild dog endemic to Australia with enigmatic origins. Dingoes are one of two remaining unadmixed populations of an early East Asian dog lineage, the other being wild dogs from the New Guinea highlands, but connections between these groups have long proved elusive. To investigate this issue, scientists from the University of
The Hubble team has released a stunning new image snapped by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the barred spiral galaxy IC 1954.

Unlike other data storage formats that degrade over time, 5D memory crystals can store up to 360 terabytes of information without loss for billions of years, even at high temperatures, according to a team of scientists at the University of Southampton. The 5D crystal is equivalent to fused quartz, one of the most chemically and
Io is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System. Io’s volcanoes are powered by both the extreme tides from Jupiter and the gravitational interactions between it and Jupiter’s other moons. These tides generate friction inside Io. Using data from an infrared camera on NASA’s Juno orbiter called the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM)
Around 3,000-7,000 hunter-gatherers on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus hunted endemic dwarf hippopotamus (Phanourios minor) and dwarf elephants (Palaeoloxodon cypriotes) to extinction within less than 1,000 years, according to new research led by Flinders University.

In a new study on the UK Biobank cohort, habitual coffee or caffeine consumption, especially at a moderate level, was associated with a lower risk of new-onset cardiometabolic multimorbidity, which refers to the coexistence of at least two cardiometabolic diseases. Lu et al. found that regular coffee or caffeine intake, especially at moderate levels, was
Gliese 229B was the first known brown dwarf, discovered in 1995. In new research, astronomers observed Gliese 229 B with the GRAVITY interferometer and, separately, the CRIRES+ spectrograph at ESO’s Very Large Telescope. Both sets of observations independently resolved Gliese 229B into two components, Gliese 229 Ba and Bb. They orbit each other every 12.1 days with a semimajor axis of
