Newly discovered asteroid larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza will zoom between Earth and the moon on Saturday
A skyscraper-size asteroid discovered two weeks ago will zoom between Earth and the moon on Saturday (June 29). At its closest approach, the space rock will pass within roughly 184,000 miles (295,000 kilometers) of our planet — about three-quarters the average distance between Earth and the moon. The asteroid, named 2024 MK, is estimated to […]
A frozen wolf discovered in Siberia turned out to be 44,000 years old. It’s so well-preserved that scientists are checking its gut for ancient viruses.
Researchers are studying a 44,000-year-old mummified wolf found in the permafrost in Russia. The wolf may tell scientists what its lifestyle and diet were like during the Pleistocene era. Researchers hope to learn more about ancient bacteria and how the wolf is related to modern animals. This wolf looks pretty good for its age, considering […]
Milky Way’s black hole ‘exhaust vent’ discovered in eerie X-ray observations
The monster black hole at the center of our galaxy may be unleashing huge, gassy explosions — and now, astronomers think they’ve pinpointed the exact spot where that superheated gas is spilling into the Milky Way. Acting like a gargantuan exhaust vent, the newly discovered feature is a bright region of X-ray energy that’s nearly […]
Lucy, discovered 50 years ago in Ethiopia, stood just 3.5 feet tall − but she still towers over our understanding of human origins
In 1974, on a survey in Hadar in the remote badlands of Ethiopia, U.S. paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson and graduate student Tom Gray found a piece of an elbow joint jutting from the dirt in a gully. It proved to be the first of 47 bones of a single individual – an early human ancestor whom […]
Engineers Discovered the Spectacular Secret to Making 17x Stronger Cement
While the modern world is build with cement, its creation is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gasses. As a result, finding ways improve its durability and safety is paramount. In a new study from Princeton University, scientists turned toward the humble oyster and its iridescent composite material nacre for design inspiration. Matching the […]

Space radiation can damage satellites − my team discovered that a next-generation material could self-heal when exposed to cosmic rays
The space environment is harsh and full of extreme radiation. Scientists designing spacecraft and satellites need materials that can withstand these conditions. In a paper published in January 2024, my team of materials researchers demonstrated that a next-generation semiconductor material called metal-halide perovskite can actually recover and heal itself from radiation damage. Metal-halide perovskites are […]
