Apr 27th, 2026 - Scientists were shocked to find that the Houtman Abrolhos Islands' coral reefs survived a prolonged extreme heatwave in 2025 virtually unharmed, which may reveal how to protect corals elsewhere Coral reefs on a chain of islands off Western Australia were almost untouched by a prolonged heatwave that devastated corals in other regions in early 2025. Researchers hope that learning the secret of extreme heat tolerance in these corals will help to protect reefs across the globe, which are in danger of being wiped out by global warming.

Apr 27th, 2026 - The breach already happened; you just don't know it yet. Somewhere on a server you'll never audit, in a jurisdiction your legal team can't touch, a copy of your encrypted enterprise data is sitting in a folder marked "2030." No ransomware, headlines or incident report. Nation-state actors don't need quantum computers today. They need hard drives and time. And time, according to  Forrester 's new report,  The State of Quantum Computing, 2026 , is the one thing enterprise leaders are burning through fastest. This is a security story, dressed up like a technology story about the ... [Read More]

Apr 25th, 2026 - You can now listen to Fox News articles! Officials recently unveiled the discovery of an 11th-century wax seal belonging to one of the most influential monarchs in English history. The seal, which had been missing since the 1980s, was found by a Ph.D. student in the Archives Nationales in Paris, where it has been held since the 18th century. Known as the Saint-Denis seal, the artifact was uncovered in 2021, though the discovery has only now been made public. The seal was used by Edward the Confessor, who ruled England from 1042 to 1066.

Apr 24th, 2026 - CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The Sombrero galaxy and its glowing halo of stars have never looked this good. The U.S. National Science Foundation's NOIRLab released the latest photo of the popular hat-shaped galaxy on Friday. A telescope in Chile observed it four years ago, but the color imaging was not completed until this week. Located approximately 30 million light-years away, this spiral galaxy — formally known as Messier 104 — is one of the largest in the constellation Virgo cluster . It's an estimated 50,000 light-years across. A light year is about 6 trillion miles. ... [Read More]

Apr 24th, 2026 - NASA scientist says a mysterious "fifth force" may be hiding in our solar system Astronomers are grappling with a cosmic mystery: Why does the Universe behave differently on massive scales compared to our own solar system? While distant galaxies reveal clear signs of something bending the rules of gravity—often attributed to dark energy or a hidden "fifth force"—everything nearby seems to follow Einstein's playbook perfectly. A force refers to an action that can cause an object to change its velocity or its shape, or to resist other forces, or to cause changes of pressure. Dark ... [Read More]

Apr 24th, 2026 - It is no secret that Florida has a Burmese python problem. The invasive species has infiltrated the Sunshine State and has practically taken over.

Biologists Are Using Opossums To Tackle Florida's Burmese Python Problem I have to warn you, I find this solution slightly morbid. Is it effective? Yes. Does it make ... [Read More]

Apr 24th, 2026 - Layer by layer, researchers revealed the jaws of an ancient predator. Some 80 million years ago, the late Cretaceous oceans were patrolled by 17-meter mosasaurs, long-necked plesiosaurs, and massive, predatory sharks. For decades, the paleontological consensus was that this was the age of vertebrates; anything without a backbone was lunch. However, a new Science paper argues there was another apex predator lurking in the depths, and it didn't have a single bone in its body. Researchers have uncovered the fossilized remains of ancient, finned octopuses that likely reached lengths of up to 19 ... [Read More]
