Nearly Half Of World's Population Could Suffer Extreme Heat By 2050, Oxford Study Warns
Nearly half of the world's population could be living under conditions of extreme heat by the middle of this century if current fossil fuel use continues, according to new research from the University of Oxford.

Sinking Calcium Carbonate Locked Away Greenhouse Gases, Reveals New Study
Scientists have solved a 66-million-year climate mystery, explaining how Earth cooled from a tropical greenhouse to an ice-capped world. New research reveals ocean calcium levels dropped by more than half, reshaping marine chemistry. As calcium declined, oceans locked away more carbon dioxide, lowering atmospheric CO2. The study links deep-Earth pr...

Biggest Space Discoveries in 2025: From New Comets and Black Holes to Sign of Life on Mars
The year 2025 proved extraordinary for astronomy, delivering discoveries that stretched from our cosmic backyard to distant galaxies. Scientists tracked Comet 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object, while nearby stars like Barnard’s Star and Alpha Centauri revealed new planetary companions. On Mars, strange “leopard spots” raised ...

New Fossil Evidence Shows Dinosaurs Flourished Until Their Final Days
Fossils from New Mexico’s San Juan Basin, dated to just 350,000 years before the asteroid impact, prove dinosaurs remained diverse and abundant until their sudden extinction. The study debunks the belief they were fading beforehand, showing a vibrant Late Cretaceous ecosystem teeming with hadrosaurs and sauropods.

New Fossil Teeth Evidence Suggests Herbivorous Dinosaurs Preferred Nutrient-Rich, Textured Plants
Using the calcium isotopes of a 150-million-year-old dinosaur's teeth, the researchers have identified them as fussy eaters. The herbivorous dinosaurs chose their food based on nutrients and textures, not according to their heights.
