Saudi Arabia has reintroduced the critically endangered red-necked ostrich to a royal reserve, marking a major milestone in desert ecosystem restoration.
Odd bird behaviour in winter, from wobbling to window crashes, is often caused by fermented berries producing alcohol that briefly affects balance and flight.
Massive underground tunnels discovered across parts of South America have drawn growing scientific interest, as their size and structure do not align with any known human activity. Carved through rock and compacted soil, these tunnels stretch for tens of metres and, in some cases, much farther. Their smooth walls and consistent curvature suggest deliberate excavation […]
Astronomers say the star system V Sagittae is heading for a supernova so bright it could be visible from Earth even during the daytime.
Researchers in Canada have recorded killer whales and Pacific white-sided dolphins hunting together—an unprecedented behaviour never seen before in the wild.
A major study reveals that Africa’s forests—once vital carbon absorbers—have shifted into carbon sources due to human activity, threatening global climate goals.
A new study reveals a fragile DNA zone near gene starting points that fuels early embryo mutations, offering fresh insight into inherited disorders.
Scientists have discovered rapid DNA changes in Greenland’s polar bears, offering rare insight into how the species may be adapting to rising temperatures and shrinking ice habitats.
New research links a major 14th-century volcanic eruption to climatic shocks, famine, and trade shifts that enabled the Black Death’s deadly spread.
A menstrual cup remained intact during a rocket flight test, offering new possibilities for managing periods during future long-duration space missions.
Megaloblatta, the world’s largest cockroach genus, is known for its enormous size, rainforest habitat and unique defensive traits studied for over a century. The Megaloblatta genus, home to the largest winged cockroaches on the planet, has long intrigued entomologists for its exceptional size, unusual behaviours and ecological role within Central and South American rainforests. Ongoing […]
Over 60,000 African penguins have died from starvation due to collapsing sardine stocks, with experts warning the critically endangered species needs urgent protection.
A NASA-led study finds that light from low-Earth orbit satellites is contaminating images from major space telescopes, including Hubble, posing new challenges for astronomy.

New magnetic data has revealed that the Earth’s crust beneath East Africa is steadily tearing apart — a continental breakup that may culminate in the birth of a new ocean in the next 5–10 million years.
From the Moon to Mars, Artemis is carrying the nation’s spirit of discovery into its next great chapter.
Here’s a look at nine of the world’s most dangerous insects.
Not all species nurture young in the same way. Some protect for years, some guide briefly, and some — like these spiders and earwigs — give their own bodies as a final gift.
