Are we in the Anthropocene Epoch? Scientists can't decide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anthropocene is a popular term for the current time in history but is not an official geological age. A proposal put forward by a group of scientists in 2024 to declare when the epoch started was rejected. The scientists said the decision was flawed and voting should be opened up more widely. In 1952 the first full-yield test of a hydrogen bomb erupted not far from Naoero, mushroom cloud billowing above the Pacific Ocean. That first test, and many more, spread plutonium-239 and -240 around the w
Pilots, aircrew face higher radiation-related cancer death rates, study finds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new study found almost 7 per cent of all deaths among US flight attendants and pilots from 2020-2024 were due to radiation-related cancer, the highest rate among the 500 occupations studied. The researchers suggested increased mortality could be caused by cosmic radiation, which aircrews are exposed to at higher levels. The Transport Workers' Union and experts have called for better protections for workers but the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency says the results are n
Feather discovered in fossilised dinosaur poo is first of its kind (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Palaeontologists have discovered an extremely well-preserved feather from an extinct bird in fossilised dinosaur faeces. The researchers said the fossil could help explain why ancestors of modern birds survived the mass extinction 66 million years ago. The researchers said the discovery was a "call to action" for scientists to scan other fossilised faeces to look for feathers. A piece of fossilised dinosaur poo contains one of the best-preserved feathers from the dinosaur age. A palaeontologist
Vicious friends and buried undies win at 2026 Ig Nobel prizes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do burying undies, stealing from babies and vicious friends all have in common? It's all part of research celebrated today with an opera about mushrooms and paper planes thrown at winning researchers as part of the Ig Nobel Prizes. The annual awards, which play on the coveted Nobel Prizes, are given for research that "first makes people laugh, and then make them think". In the past, very important research such as Dr Karl's citizen science investigation into belly button lint has won awards
'This could be it': Dark matter detector finds hint of unknown particle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Physicists at the LUX-ZEPLIN detector in the US have uncovered a single event which they say could be evidence of dark matter or a new type of particle interaction. The team are cautious, but the results suggest there is just a 0.5 per cent chance the event could be explained by something else. The results have been released for other scientists to pore over, with the researchers hoping other detectors will be able to find similar events in their data. Dark matter, an elusive substance that perm
