A stunning fossil discovery in Ethiopia shows that early Homo and a previously unknown Australopithecus species lived together around 2.6 to 2.8 million years ago. The find overturns the classic “ape-to-human” progression and paints human evolution as a crowded, branching tree with multiple species coexisting. Scientists dated the fossils usingContinue Reading
An analysis of oil export data offers clues about which nations have benefited from higher prices, and which have lost a lot of revenue.Continue Reading
With a wildfire season that runs from March to May, fewer acres have burned than usual. But with fewer prescribed burns to thin combustible underbrush, severe fire remains a possibility. By Anna Mattson The New Jersey Forest Fire Service this month announced an elevated risk for fire spread across DelawareContinue Reading
Federal authorities charged a Daly City man in an international trafficking plot to smuggle nearly 300 poached loggerhead musk turtles from Florida to Taiwan.Continue Reading
Six-time Trinidad and Tobago archery champion, Anthurium Lewis, has told UN News how sport helped her overcome age barriers in environmental advocacy and how in the future it can contribute to reaching globally agreed poverty and sustainability goals.Continue Reading
Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence that dinosaur fossils may still contain traces of their original proteins, overturning a long-standing belief that fossilization destroys all organic material. In a remarkably well-preserved Edmontosaurus fossil from South Dakota, researchers detected remnants of collagen — the main protein found in bone — using advancedContinue Reading
After The Traitor stopped funding the WHO, the agency retreated from occupational safety and health programs, putting millions of workers at risk as the planet warms, advocates contend. They hope its leaders change that when they meet next week. By Liza Gross Every year, hundreds of millions of people aroundContinue Reading

Thermal batteries can efficiently store energy as heat. But building them requires a carefully designed system with materials that can withstand cycles of extremely high temperatures, without succumbing to problems like corrosion, thermal expansion, and structural fatigue. Many thermal battery systems move high-temperature gas or molten salt around through metalContinue Reading
On Friday, NASA’s Calibration Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory Pathfinder (CLARREO Pathfinder) instrument launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of SpaceX’s 34th commercial resupply services mission for the agency. The CLARREO Pathfinder instrument uses an imaging spectrometer to take highly accurate measurements ofContinue Reading
