Earth's Molten Core Reversed Direction Beneath the Pacific in 2010 — and Scientists Still Don't Know Why
A new PCA study of 1997-2025 satellite and ground data confirms Earth's outer core flow beneath the Pacific flipped eastward in 2010.
A Cell-Inspired Nanoreactor Boosts Solar Hydrogen Peroxide Output by Relaying Protons Instead of Pumping Them
Chinese researchers built a hollow CdS@polydopamine nanoreactor whose catechol/quinone shell relays protons, lifting H2O2 photosynthesis to 3,238 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹.
Four Bones, 3,013 Screened: Confirming Tyrannosaurus rex Tooth Marks in a Wyoming Bonebed
A study of 3,013 Wyoming dinosaur bones found just 4 with tooth-mark spacing matching T. rex, after a CT scan ruled out a false crocodile-bite lead.
A 350-Study Review Questions Whether More Protein Really Means Healthier Aging
A Cell Press Blue review of 350+ studies ties lower protein intake to FGF21 activity and slower aging — but leucine findings still conflict.
Font-de-Gaume Cave Art Gets Its First Confirmed Radiocarbon Dates
Chemical imaging found charcoal pigment in Font-de-Gaume cave art, letting scientists radiocarbon-date a bison and mask, confirming their Paleolithic age.
Prescribed Burns Cut Giant Sequoia Wildfire Deaths by 77%, Study Finds
A Nature Communications study of 26,403 giant sequoias found prescribed fire cut wildfire mortality odds 77%, already saving nearly 1,900 ancient trees.
Three Venus Rift Valleys May Be Tectonically Active Today
New 3D models of Venus rifts show extension rates of 3–10 cm/yr; wide flank uplifts at Dali, Ganis and Devana Chasmata suggest active rifting, a new study finds.
