We might have just seen the first hints of dark matter

Genetic material from a woolly rhinoceros was recovered from the stomach of a mummified wolf pup that lived 14,400 years ago, providing new insights into the extinction of this iconic megafauna species. The discovery was made in Siberia, where researchers analyzed the remains of the two-month-old female wolf cub, revealing a piece of woolly rhino flesh.

A recent study has identified a unique white dwarf star, RXJ0528+2838, which is producing a rainbow-like shockwave as it travels through the Milky Way, while simultaneously disrupting its companion star. This phenomenon is described as a rare and astonishing occurrence in the field of astrophysics.

Psychiatry has made significant strides in identifying objective biomarkers for mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression, marking a pivotal moment in the field. This breakthrough comes after decades of research aimed at providing clearer diagnostic tools for mental health conditions.

Newly discovered stars in the small galaxy Sextans A are forming without some of the typical ingredients, prompting scientists to reconsider theories about star formation and the evolution of the early universe. This finding challenges existing models that rely on conventional elements for star creation.

An analysis of growth rings in the leg bones of 17 Tyrannosaurus rex individuals indicates that these dinosaurs took approximately 40 years to reach full maturity, suggesting a slower growth rate than previously believed. This finding contributes to the understanding that T. rex may not represent a single species but rather a more complex evolutionary lineage.

Construction is responsible for 10 to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, prompting calls for a complete overhaul in building practices to maintain global temperatures below 2°C. Efficient design and sustainable materials are essential to mitigate the climate impact of urban development.

A recent report indicates that the world may face climate impacts sooner than anticipated, potentially costing trillions due to underestimated warming rates that threaten economic growth.

New research indicates that the x-ray emissions from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, have undergone significant changes over the past few hundred years, suggesting it may have once been 10,000 times brighter than it is today.
