| Ancient “Syphilis-Like” Disease in Vietnam Challenges Key Scientific Assumptions |
|
|
2026-04-24 23:16:47 +00:00
 Ancient skeleton evidence suggests congenital infection doesn’t prove syphilis, pointing instead to multiple treponemal diseases in history. New research led by a Charles Sturt University scientist is challenging a long-held assumption about ancient diseases. The findings could reshape a major debate in medical history: where syphilis originated. The research underscores the increasing difficulties scientists face [...]

| Scientists Discover Tiny New Spider That Hunts Prey 6x Its Size |
|
|
2026-04-24 18:26:00 +00:00
 Scientists discovered a tiny wall-dwelling spider that preys on common urban pests and may aid natural pest control. Its resemblance to a distant Galapagos species suggests a possible evolutionary link. Researchers from several South American institutions have expanded understanding of the Pikelinia spider genus with the discovery of a new crevice weaver species, Pikelinia floydmuraria. [...]

| The Most Powerful Neutrino Ever Detected May Have a Surprising Cosmic Source |
|
|
2026-04-24 11:43:06 +00:00
 An unprecedented neutrino detection in the Mediterranean has pushed the boundaries of high-energy astrophysics, raising new questions about the most extreme processes in the universe. Three years ago, scientists detected an “ultra-energetic” cosmic neutrino in the Mediterranean Sea, the most energetic ever recorded. The discovery drew global attention from researchers, the media, and the public. [...]

| Newton’s 300-Year-Old Law Passes Its Biggest Cosmic Test Yet |
|
|
2026-04-24 11:08:59 +00:00
 By studying galaxy clusters separated by hundreds of millions of light-years, Penn physicist Patricio Gallardo and collaborators show that the laws of gravity described by Newton and Einstein still hold, providing strong evidence that invisible dark matter exists. Gravity may seem simple in everyday life. Drop an apple, and it falls. On cosmic scales, though, [...]
