A leather bag made from Tyrannosaurus rex cells will be auctioned off on Thursday by Paris auction house Giquello, estimating the “one-of-a-kind” piece could sell for more than US$500,000. Unveiled in the spring in Amsterdam, the bag was created from traces of collagen from the femur of a T. rex found in the US state of Montana 25 years ago. “In recent years, we’ve developed techniques – biotechnologies that allow us to instruct a cell culture to produce, so to speak, genuine T. rex skin in the.

El Niño, nature's chaotic climate agent, has formed in a warmed-up Pacific Ocean and is expected to grow to historic strength, meteorologists said Thursday.

El Niño has officially begun, the Climate Prediction Center announced Thursday. And it's not just any El Niño — this year's is shaping up to be one for the record books.

The Gulf Stream shifts warm water across the Atlantic to Europe. NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio, CC BY-SA Around 13,000 years ago, as the world was emerging from the grip of the last ice age, much of the North Atlantic region plunged back into near-glacial conditions. Sea ice expanded across the North Atlantic, reaching as far south as the Shetland Islands. Glaciers began to regrow in the Scottish Highlands, while winter temperatures across Europe and North Amer

The myth of the 'noble savage,' which suggests that humanity is naturally egalitarian, is being challenged by a new study. Drawing on traditional societies, it explains that individual motivations are always at play behind human actions, reports columnist Pauline Grosjean for Le Monde.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman on Wednesday defended the decision to use an all-male crew for the approaching Artemis III mission.  “I have seen reactions ranging from disappointment to outrage,” Isaacman wrote in a post on X, in response to complaints about the mission lacking female astronauts. “I have personally been to space twice with 50…

A newly discovered whale graveyard in the southeastern Indian Ocean is providing scientists with a rare glimpse into how marine life can thrive for millions of years at great depths.

When a whale dies, a very special natural phenomenon can come alive. The carcass might float at the surface for some time, attracting sharks and other predators. As it becomes weathered it may start to sink, falling through the water until it eventually settles on the seafloor where deep sea scavengers feast upon it. The scientific record of “whale falls” is sparse and fragmentary. But a team of researchers, led by Xiaotong Peng from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered a vast and a

Archaeologists have been left baffled after discovering dozens of human skeletons, almost all of them missing their skulls, in a 7,000 year-old settlement in Slovakia.

In the 9th century, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Kharizmi helped solidify the concept of algorithms in mathematics and popularized algebra and the use of the zero.

The world's largest whale graveyard has been discovered at the bottom of the Indian Ocean by Chinese scientists.

With the lingering threat of big cities, prediction markets at Kalshi are expecting a 94% chance of over an inch of rain in New York City by the end of the month.

But these events are really a surface expression of more fundamental changes that are affecting our planet: the Earth itself is accumulating heat faster than ever before.

Richard Freeman / UNSW Most of us think of espresso as a hot, high-pressure ritual. Finely ground coffee goes into a machine, boiling water is forced through it, and in about 30 seconds we get a concentrated shot with crema, aroma, bitterness, body and caffeine. As someone from Colombia, I like to think coffee is in my blood – and I’m proud to come from a country known for producing some of the best coffee beans in the world. So perhaps that’s why I have spent a lot of time in my laboratory with
