Archaeologists Found 4 Nazca Mummies in the Wrong Place. It Could Turn the Story of an Ancient Empire 'Upside Down' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Peru’s archaeological record is arguably one of the most pillaged in the world. For centuries, thousands of its pre-Columbian artifacts have been looted, first by Old World conquistadors, then by black market marauders and their local accomplices, known as huaqueros, an indigenous Quechua word that now has effectively come to mean “grave robbers.” So, it’s saying something when researchers manage to uncover a sacred site that is eerily intact. Corina Kellner, a professor of biological anthropolo
Something Strange Happens When an Old Heart Is Transplanted Into a Young Body (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hundreds of people die each year while waiting for the right organ to perform a high-stakes transplant surgery. It’s the kind of resource scarcity that has led to some daring alternatives, including artificial hearts and animal-to-human “xenotransplant” experiments. But, if those two options leave you a little squeamish, how would you feel about receiving a replacement human heart with a bit of an age gap? Long story short, it might work out surprisingly well. Harvard biochemical researcher Jess
A Physicist Has an Ingenious Plan to Track Arctic Sea Ice With a Cold War-Era Early Warning Radar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It took U.S. military scientists and defense contractors the entirety of the Cold War to bring the concept to fruition, but it only became operational as the Berlin Wall came crumbling down. Over-the-horizon (OTH) radar surveillance, including the Pentagon’s pre-DARPA “Polar Fox” experiments, bounced high-frequency (HF) radio waves off of Earth’s ionosphere to peer around distant curving horizons as far as 1,800 miles (2,897 kilometers) away. This high-frequency (HF) “skywave” radar, as the back
This Gene-Tech Is More Impressive Than the Extinct Dire Wolves It Created. Here's Why (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers with Colossal Biosciences, the private biotechnology and genetic engineering firm, are winners of the 2026 Gizmodo Science Fair for developing an integrated pipeline capable of robust genomic reconstruction, gene-editing, and synthetic embryo maturation. You might recall the fruits of this effort, the birth of three “dire wolf” pups via surrogate dogs in 2025—which leveraged some (but not all) of the ancient wolves’ genetic code, which this team painstakingly recovered from fossilize
Scientists Thought Venus Was Too Acidic for Complex Chemistry. It May Actually Be Weirdly Hospitable (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Acid clouds: This is not just a genre of house music someone ten years older than you, or younger than you, will claim exists. Swirling above the hellish surface of Earth’s nearest neighbor Venus, a surface where the average temperature could melt lead and even some aluminum alloys, layers of “superrotating” sulfuric acid clouds roil with the energy generated by the planet’s runaway greenhouse gas effect. The prospect that extraterrestrial microbes might somehow be able to call this caustic stor
