Around 300,000 years ago, a cave in South Africa became the final resting place of at least 20 human cousins from the ancient species Homo naledi.
An entire ancient human species, Homo naledi, is known from specimens found at just one site in South Africa, back in 2013.
A cutting-edge analysis of the teeth from Homo naledi skeletons in a South African cave system found no males within the group. Experts are unsure what to...
Physicists have discovered that the dark matter structures that scaffold the universe—known as the “cosmic web”—are far larger and more persistent than...
An analysis of tooth proteins suggests all 23 Homo naledi individuals found in the Rising Star cave in South Africa were female, which strengthens the case...
In archeology, the truth lies in the teeth. Our hearty chompers can withstand the test of time, preserving precious genetic data that can help tell the...
From detecting the ripples of colliding black holes to imaging individual chemical bonds, mechanical transducers have repeatedly transformed our...
We've known for a long time that there are organic molecules on Mars. Rovers and landers keep turning them up wherever they look.
The annual celestial event is named after the strawberry harvest season.
NASA's September 2025 announcement about the Perseverance rover did not say that life had been found on Mars. It said something more careful, and in some...

SpaceX ($SPCX) launched a demo mission of its Starfall reentry capsule yesterday, kicking off a new era of competition in the budding reentry sector.
Scientists have reported the first-ever live observations of the elusive goblin shark in its natural deep-sea habitat, capturing footage at two remote...
Life-forms made of stuff we couldn't imagine may still be as conscious as we are.
Earlier this year, NASA officials seemed optimistic that Starliner would get to fly again by April. Obviously that did not happen. Now, the space agency has...
New study shows asteroid impacts may have created hydrothermal systems that helped life begin on Earth.
SpaceX launched the first test flight of its Starfall reentry capsule June 23, but the mission remained as secretive as the program itself.
