    Pilots, aircrew face higher radiation-related cancer death rates, study finds (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    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)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    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)

    Excerpt · English

    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

    'Pretty overwhelming': The 23 species in Australia hit by bird flu so far (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Bird flu has quickly spread around Australia since it was first detected in mid-June. As predicted, it spread from Antarctica to offshore Australia and then from beaches to inland waterways. As of late August there are more than 350 confirmed events of bird flu, including several mass mortalities. But hidden in the numbers are more than 20 distinct species of animal that have fallen to the disease. According to Rachael Gray, a veterinary pathology researcher at the University of Sydney who has w
