Hagfish fossils reveal stepwise eye simplification before near-total vision loss
June 5, 2026 feature Hagfish fossils reveal stepwise eye simplification before near-total vision loss Ingrid Fadelli Author Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Many animals, including humans, rely on their eyes to detect changes in their surroundings. The eyes of vertebrates, animals with a backbone or a similar supporting structure, contain a transparent structure (i.e., the lens) that focuses incoming light onto a layer of light-sensitive cells, known as the retina....
Mathematician solves origami donut efficiency challenge with fewest folds
June 1, 2026 report Mathematician solves origami donut efficiency challenge with fewest folds Krystal Kasal Author Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Most people wouldn't think that it would take rigorous mathematical proof to show how many folds it takes to make a donut shape out of paper.
Wonderwerk Cave bones reveal possible fire use by human ancestors 1.79 million years ago
June 7, 2026 report Wonderwerk Cave bones reveal possible fire use by human ancestors 1.79 million years ago Paul Arnold Author Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The discovery of fire was a major milestone in human evolution, giving our ancestors a way to stay warm, ward off predators, and eventually start cooking food. But exactly when this first happened is still intensely debated, as unambiguous evidence is difficult to find. However, new research from a cave in...
Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries
May 31, 2026 report Supermassive black holes could be the universe's biggest planet nurseries Paul Arnold Author Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Supermassive black holes are the largest known black holes in the universe, sitting at the center of most large galaxies. They are sometimes described as cosmic monsters because they feed on surrounding gas and dust when they are active, as well as destroy anything that gets too close. But their reputation could be due for a...
A giant star may have destroyed itself in one of the universe's rarest explosions
June 1, 2026 report A giant star may have destroyed itself in one of the universe's rarest explosions Shreejaya Karantha Author Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Astronomers may have discovered one of the clearest examples yet of a rare "pair-instability" supernova. It is a catastrophic explosion thought to completely destroy some of the most massive stars in the universe, leaving behind no remnant. The paper outlining the properties of this rare explosion was...

May 30, 2026 feature Inside Europe's largest Copper Age tomb, children's bones expose an ancient health crisis hidden for 5,000 years Sandee Oster Author Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Nearly 5,000 years ago, respiratory infections, possibly including tuberculosis, were ravaging the children buried at Camino del Molino (CMOL), Spain. The massive circular burial cave carved into rock is Europe's largest Copper Age mass burial, containing over 1,300 individuals,...
JWST finds a stellar bar in the early universe that breaks all rules
May 31, 2026 report JWST finds a stellar bar in the early universe that breaks all rules Shreejaya Karantha Author Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a stellar bar in GN20, a massive galaxy seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The new paper was submitted to the preprint server arXiv on May 14. Cosmic funnels Stellar bars are elongated arrangements of stars that cut across the center of...
