Long before large flesh-eating dinosaurs came to dominate the planet, a specialised imposter had been strutting its stuff in North America's Southwest region on two feet. To anyone examining this quick, bipedal animal with a birdlike beak and no teeth, it would appear that they were dealing with an early theropod dinosaur.

Chinese researchers have unveiled a breakthrough experimental therapy that could one day protect humans from the deadly effects of nuclear radiation exposure. The study, published in the journal Cell Death and Differentiation, showed that mice exposed to harmful levels of ionising radiation survived at dramatically higher rates after scientists disabled a key protein pathway linked to radiation-triggered cell death.

The capacity of solar panels fitted on campervans and off-grid vans is normally expected to be lower compared to what is advertised under real-world circumstances. However, some users of these vehicles have recorded cases where the capacity of solar panels exceeds their usual capacity due to unusually favourable weather.

Scientists have rediscovered Vaccinium piliferum in Arunachal Pradesh after nearly 188 years without a confirmed sighting. The find highlights the region's rich biodiversity and the urgent need to protect its fragile forest habitat.

In 2017, scientists found human traces in ordinary cave dirt by reading the DNA, and they did not find a single piece of bone. This was far more than ancient sediment.

The deep sea is commonly thought to be the ultimate mystery waiting to be explored; it is a place that requires us to go many miles ahead before we discover anything new. However, in some cases, what we do not know is always closest to us; we find answers where least expected to - in those places that we believe we know best.
