Scientists have discovered that moonquakes, not meteoroids, are responsible for shifting terrain near the Apollo 17 landing site. Their analysis points to a still-active fault that has been generating quakes for millions of years. While the danger to short missions is low, long-term lunar bases could face increasing risk. The findings urge future planners to […]
A large Mayo Clinic study shows that current guidelines fail to detect nearly 90% of people with familial hypercholesterolemia, a common inherited cause of dangerously high cholesterol. Many affected individuals already had early heart disease but never met testing criteria. Routine DNA screening could dramatically expand detection and prevention. The research underscores the need for

Student teams competed in the 2025 Invention Challenge at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory on Dec. 5. The event pits middle and high school teams against each other as they try to get handmade devices to accomplish a task.NASA/JPL-Caltech The 2025 Invention Challenge at JPL called on teams to build devices capable of moving about 2
Three years ago, ChatGPT was born. It amazed the world and ignited unprecedented investment and excitement in AI. Today, ChatGPT is still a toddler, but public sentiment around the AI boom has turned sharply negative. The shift began when OpenAI released GPT-5 this summer to mixed reviews, mostly from casual users who, unsurprisingly, judged the
Scientists have discovered that complex life began evolving much earlier than traditional models suggested. Using an expanded molecular clock approach, the team showed that crucial cellular features emerged in ancient anoxic oceans long before oxygen became a major part of Earth’s atmosphere. Their results indicate that early complexity developed slowly over an unexpectedly long timescale.
How solar probes detect space tornadoes Have you ever thought that space could have its own “tornadoes”? Well, it does! And while you probably don’t picture them like those that wreak havoc across the American plains, these space tornadoes can be just as terrifying – especially if we ignore them. Fortunately, we now have a
How Science Sparked a Digital Revolution When people think of CERN, they often picture particle collisions, the Higgs boson, or the massive Large Hadron Collider buried beneath Geneva.Few realize, however, that one of the most transformative inventions of modern history — the World Wide Web — was born in those very same laboratories. The internet

Imagine driving through the scenic routes of Europe, relying on your trusty GPS for directions. Have you ever wondered why Europe has invested heavily in its own navigation system, Galileo, instead of simply hitching a ride on America’s GPS? Well, the story of Galileo vs. GPS is as intriguing as it is vital for Europe’s
