NASA sent 4 humans back to the moon after 53 years - then fire hit the shield
For the first time in 53 years, NASA sent a crew of four humans back toward the Moon on a mission that reopened the path to deep space. But the most dangerous moment came on the way home, when the spacecraft slammed into Earth’s atmosphere and extreme heat tested the same shield design that had raised concerns before. From lunar flyby views to total communication blackouts, the mission pushed both astronauts and technology to the limit. This is the story of how Artemis II brought humans back to the Moon era — and how close the final test really felt.
Taking a closer look at immune 'memory' could spur progress in the fight against lethal illnesses
The average human has about 1.8 trillion immune cells. These cells patrol the body for bacteria, viruses, cancers, and other threats. Vaccines enhance this security system by teaching our immune cells to target specific pathogens. According to the World Health Organization, vaccine-induced immunity saves about six lives every minute. But how long does this protective immune "memory" last?
Science is drowning in AI spam
Who doesn’t want to talk to a whale or hear their dog tell them a story? Using AI, scientists think they’re closer to bridging the communication barrier between humans and animals. Artificial intelligence has decoded the sperm whale’s “phonetic alphabet”, claim scientists. The Seti Institute, which looks for signs of alien life, has even attempted ...

Soviet scientists dug 7.5 miles - and stopped cold
We can point telescopes to the edge of the solar system and learn more than we do about the ground under our feet. For decades, teams of scientists have tried to pry open the Earth and see what lies beneath the crust, with mixed results. Soviet researchers spent years chasing that prize, and when they finally hit something unexpected deep underground, they shut down their machines for good.

A smarter way to build vaccines: Scientists harness AI to target emerging alphaviruses
A team of scientists at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), led by Nikos Vasilakis, Ph.D., and Peter McCaffrey, MD, has developed a new computational pipeline that could dramatically accelerate the development of vaccines against a group of mosquito-borne viruses known as alphavirus. Vasilakis is a professor and the vice chair for research, and McCaffrey is an assistant professor of clinical practice and director of the UTMB AI...

25 discoveries that terrified scientists
Science is supposed to give us answers. The problem is that sometimes the answer is worse than not knowing. There's a parasite on this list that may already be living inside your brain right now, and it has been quietly shaping how you behave for years. There's also a glacier NASA confirmed is hollowing out from the inside, running decades ahead of every prediction anyone had made. These are 25 discoveries that terrified scientists.

15,000 nuclear weapons still exist - and 1,800 can launch in 15 minutes
More than 15,000 nuclear weapons still exist across nine countries, and around 1,800 remain on high alert, ready to launch within minutes of a command. Even a small amount of highly enriched uranium could devastate an entire city and kill hundreds of thousands of people instantly. Despite the end of the Cold War, the nuclear threat has never fully disappeared. Experts warn that accidents, cyberattacks, or political miscalculations could still trigger catastrophe.
Earth has officially completed half its lifespan
If current scientific models are anything to go by, Earth, now 4.5 billion years old and halfway through its total lifespan, has about a billion years of livable conditions left. After that, the oceans go, slowly boiled away by an aging, brightening Sun. But the loss of water might not even be the first fatal […] Read the original article here: Earth has officially completed half its lifespan
Study finds Mount Etna drew magma from 50 miles down in rare event
Mount Etna towers over eastern Sicily, its summit rising roughly 3,350 meters above a coastline where nearly a million people live, work and farm on volcanic soil. Scientists have monitored its eruptions for decades, mapping the shallow magma reservoirs and fracture networks that feed its frequent lava flows. But a peer-reviewed study published in 2025 […]
Exclusive: OpenAI lobbies for expanded AI role in life sciences
Advances in AI's ability to take on novel scientific work are helping researchers move faster, connect siloed knowledge, and design treatments more efficiently, according to a new report from OpenAI's policy, research and sciences team shared first with Axios. Why it matters: The life sciences have saved hundreds of millions of lives over the past century, but progress has slowed dramatically — even as the toughest diseases remain unsolved. The...
Scientists have found the most 'pristine' star in the universe—and it's right here in the Milky Way
Not only does the star have less metal content than our Sun, but it is also the most iron-poor known star.
Something strange is being built on the moon – and it starts with Starship
The first moon base may not be built from scratch — it could be made from rockets. SpaceX’s Starship is designed to land on the Moon and stay there, potentially being converted into a permanent habitat. Some concepts even involve tipping the rocket onto its side and rebuilding the interior for long-term living. But survival on the Moon comes with constant threats, from radiation to meteor impacts. This is how humanity may begin living beyond Earth — and it won’t feel familiar.
Scientists say reality could be a simulation - and the numbers are alarming
Some scientists believe reality may not be real at all, but instead part of a vast simulation created by advanced civilizations. Using theoretical models, one argument suggests there could be up to a 98% chance that everything we experience is artificial. While the idea sounds extreme, it is taken seriously in scientific and philosophical discussions. The more it is explored, the more it raises unsettling questions about what is actually real.

Missing ingredient finally reveals how galaxies formed at the dawn of time
A snapshot of the simulation. (Schaye et al., 2026) Long ago, a time existed before galaxies had drawn themselves together out of the primordial matter that filled the burgeoning Universe in the wake of the Big Bang. How this process occurred, and what that matter consisted of, has long been something of a mystery. Now, however, scientists may have brought us closer to understanding how galaxies formed and evolved – through more powerful simul
Contaminants, including ink, detected in meteorites suggest sample preparation needs improving
The IBeA group of the EHU-University of the Basque Country is proposing new measures to safeguard the purity of extraterrestrial samples. Several contaminants, including traces of ink, originating in the preparation of subsamples, have been identified in Martian meteorites by the EHU's research group. The finding highlights the importance of stricter protocols to prevent misinterpretations of the composition of these rocks and to ensure the...
