Q&A: Ancient bird species found in China's Liaoning had extra-long tail feathers for elaborate courtship

Ancient bird species found in China's Liaoning had extra-long tail feathers for elaborate courtship Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A recently discovered extinct bird from the early Cretaceous Period (approximately 121 million years ago) may have waggled its long tail feathers to attract mates, according to a study published May 27, 2026 in the open-access journal PLOS One by Alexander Clark of the University of Chicago and colleagues. Clark shares more details...

1994 Tutsi Genocide: 'French government has never fully come to terms with its involvement'

Annette Young is pleased to welcome Phil Clark, Professor of International Politics at SOAS University of London. He specialises in conflict and post-conflict issues. As French President Emmanuel Macron and Rwandan President Paul Kagame inaugurate a new memorial in Paris dedicated to the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, profound questions remain about France's historical role and the limits of reconciliation between Paris and Kigali.

Critical Te-104 decay measurements may help answer century-old alpha particle formation question

Critical Te-104 decay measurements may help answer century-old alpha particle formation question Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor University of Tennessee, Knoxville physicists and their colleagues have made critical measurements of the lifetime and decay energy of tellurium-104 (Te-104), an important step in answering a century-old question and understanding how hundreds of nuclei decay. The results are published in Nature. A particle determined to escape Professor...

50 years of data reveals true extent of climate change impacts on kelp forests

50 years of data reveals true extent of climate change impacts on kelp forests Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor New research from the University of Victoria (UVic) has found that some kelp forests around Vancouver Island were disappearing far earlier than scientists previously thought, highlighting that climate change has been altering ecosystems long before most people were aware anything was wrong. "Most research has focused on recent kelp forest losses resulting from...

Ocean collapse triggered ancient wildfires, research suggests

Ocean collapse triggered ancient wildfires, research suggests Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Research led by the University of Alabama found that widespread wildfires during one of Earth's ancient environmental crises did not trigger an ocean collapse but were a consequence of it. The study, published in Science Advances in April, revisits the Late Devonian period, when large parts of the coastal ocean became oxygen-depleted, disrupting marine ecosystems on a...

Nitric oxide overload jams plant immune signals, researchers find

Nitric oxide overload jams plant immune signals, researchers find Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A new study from the University of Kentucky Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment (CAFE) helps explain how plants can lose track of their own disease warnings. Plants do not have blood, nerves or immune cells like people do, but they still have ways to protect themselves. When one leaf is attacked by a pathogen, the plant can send warning signals to...

Pulsar wind nebula inside supernova remnant explored with Chandra

May 30, 2026 report Pulsar wind nebula inside supernova remnant explored with Chandra Tomasz Nowakowski Author Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Astronomers from the George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC, and elsewhere have employed NASA's Chandra X-ray spacecraft to observe a pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnant known as CTA 1. Results of the observational campaign, presented in a research paper published May 20 on the arXiv preprint server,...

Record ultraviolet quasar wind reaches 30% light speed near supermassive black hole

Record ultraviolet quasar wind reaches 30% light speed near supermassive black hole Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A team led by York University researchers has discovered the fastest wind near a supermassive black hole ever found at ultraviolet wavelengths, driven by the disk of matter (quasar) surrounding the black hole. "This quasar has a black hole of 1.7 billion times the mass of the sun. What's not typical is that it has gas moving towards us at 30% of the...

Faster lower-cost PFAS testing could reshape how US drinking water is monitored

Faster lower-cost PFAS testing could reshape how US drinking water is monitored Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor A new investigation from the University of Kansas improves detection of PFAS, a family of so-called "forever chemicals" in drinking water supplies. The method, which can measure trace pollution levels of PFAS in water more quickly and inexpensively than current techniques, was recently detailed in the journal PLOS Water. PFAS chemicals, marketed for...

Nature's 'master painters': Study reveals how damselflies break optical barriers to create saturated colors

Nature's 'master painters': Study reveals how damselflies break optical barriers to create saturated colors Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Scientists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have uncovered for the first time the "ingenious" biological strategies that allow blue-tailed damselflies to produce strikingly vivid, angle-independent colors. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, provides a new blueprint for creating...
