Small quakes wake up deep life under Yellowstone
In 2021, a swarm of small earthquakes rippled beneath Yellowstone National Park and jolted a hidden ecosystem nearly 325 feet below the surface. Microbes living in a buried pocket of groundwater suddenly got a burst of energy.
A new study of…

JWST spots a strange red dot so extreme scientists can’t explain it
In the summer of 2022, only a few weeks after the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) began delivering its first scientific images, astronomers noticed an unexpected pattern: tiny red points scattered throughout the new observations. These…

The Universe Might Just Go Dark Forever, Scientists Say
People love an apocalyptic spectacle. Meteor showers, collapsing stars, something dramatic enough to justify every disaster movie ever made. The real long-term cosmic forecast is stranger, slower, and way less cinematic. The Universe may not…

The Tabletop Experiment That Could Unify Quantum Mechanics And Gravity
The quest to unify quantum mechanics and gravity stands as one of the most profound challenges in modern physics. For decades, these two pillars of science have remained irreconcilable: quantum mechanics governs the behavior of particles at…

Scientists may have found dark matter after 100 years of searching
In the early 1930s, Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed that many galaxies were moving far faster than their visible mass should permit. This unusual motion led him to propose that some kind of invisible structure — dark matter — was…
