Artists reconstruct extinct Sri Lankan megafauna‎

For animator and academic Dr. Jason Kennedy, palaeoart isn't just a hobby. Creating 3D images of prehistoric animals sits at the intersection of science and art, combining fossil analysis, comparisons with living species, and digital modeling to bring long-extinct creatures back to life.

Universe's most distant 'Hot DOG' yet may owe extreme infrared glow to polar dust, Webb reveals‎

New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed fresh details about one of the most luminous known objects in the universe: the dust-shrouded quasar W2246−0526, seen just 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang. The paper outlining the results was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society on May 14.

New mathematical model predicts global population crash by 2064‎

In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies 12,000 years of human population growth and points to stark possible futures if global environmental crises intensify.

New material could help NASA melt moon rocks, harness lunar resources‎

A material recently discovered and tested at NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland could help astronauts pack lighter for future missions to the moon. NASA is researching ways explorers could "live off the land" by harnessing lunar resources, including melting moon rocks to extract metals for building infrastructure and oxygen for fuel and life support.

A beautiful death: How a dying star created the Crystal Ball Nebula‎

Planetary nebulae like the Crystal Ball Nebula (NGC 1514) are sort of like stellar obituaries. Though crystal balls supposedly reveal the future, the Crystal Ball Nebula tells us more about the past. It shows us how a binary pair of stars met their end. And since NGC 1514 is 1,500 light years away, we're seeing what it looked like 1,500 years ago.

Mars fungi could make red planet regolith fertile for crops‎

You're on the fourth human mission to Mars, and you've been tasked with establishing the first self-sustaining food crop on a Martian settlement. You're nervous because you're using a new type of fungi called beneficial fungi, which you're told will help enhance the Martian regolith, enabling it to be used for growing crops.
