Earth’s Oldest Impact Crater Turns Out to Be Much Younger, Scientists Reveal in New Study
The Miralga impact crater in Western Australia, once thought to be Earth’s oldest at 3.5 billion years, has now been redated to after 2.7 billion years ago. With a revised diameter of just 16 kilometers, the structure no longer supports theories of early crust or life formation, but remains scientifically valuable for studying Mars-like planetary...

Fungus Wiping Out Frogs: Innovative "Frog Saunas" Offer Hope for Survival
Frog populations worldwide are being decimated by the chytrid fungus, which is responsible for the decline and extinction of many species. Scientists have developed "frog saunas," simple heated structures that allow frogs to warm up and combat the infection. Studies show that this method can help infected frogs recover faster and even develop resis...
