Discovery of Exquisite Feathered Dinosaur in China Could Rewrite The Evolution of Flight (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An exquisitely preserved feathered raptor just discovered in north-eastern China could probably fly. It's also somewhat disrupted the evolutionary path we thought birds took to get into the air. Norellraptor barsboldi, as the new dinosaur has been named, is a microraptor, which means it's a small dinosaur with feathers and wings. It's also a member of the wider group Paraves, which includes a range of theropod dinosaurs, including some that are still thriving today: birds. And, like its living r
As Permafrost Melts, Toxic Metals Are Poisoning Rivers With Levels 70 Times Higher Than Normal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the past decade, a network of usually pristine blue rivers and lakes that winds through Alaska's breathtaking Brooks Range mountains has been starting to look a little… rusty. Scientists first noticed the unusual orange plumes flowing into the water back in 2018. They began to investigate, collecting water samples from various sites so remote they can only be accessed by helicopter – but at the time, they were only able to get a snapshot of what was going on. "The more we flew around, we st
Primate Communication May Follow Grammar Patterns Once Thought Uniquely Human (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Human languages are complex and versatile. They reflect our intelligence, our cultures, our need to understand and be understood. Our languages tend to follow specific patterns. Little chunks of grammatical sense can sit within the larger structures of sentences to form complex layers of syntax. We've long thought those nested patterns of language – known as supra-regular recursive grammar – distinguished us from any other animal on Earth. But there's growing evidence that at least some of our t
Water-Loving Capybaras Lived in The Atacama Desert 8.8 Million Years Ago (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Atacama Desert in Chile is one of the driest places in the world, with almost all of its scant moisture provided by fog that rolls in from the Pacific. As such, it's the last place you'd expect to find capybaras: those giant, guinea pig-like, water-loving rodents the internet has come to hold so dear. You might've seen capybaras kicking it in a yuzu-studded hot spring in Japan, but their true home is South America. There, they lurk in wetlands around the Amazon basin, in every country on the
Teen Discovered With a Memory More Powerful Than 99.9% of The Population (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For most of us, our memories are as fragile as they are precious. Even some of the most important events in our lives can quickly become a blur, missing key details and warping with time. In some very rare cases, however, memories are as vivid as the day they were written. Fewer than 100 people are believed to have highly superior autobiographical memories (HSAM), and a new study documents the experiences of one of them: a 16-year-old boy scientists have named KCL, to protect his identity. He ha
