New DNA evidence could change everything we know about how humans settled and spread in South America
New DNA evidence could change our understanding of how humans settled and spread in South America as research has revealed long-distance migration began centuries earlier than previously thought.An international research team uncovered evidence that extensive coastal migration in Peru began at least eight centuries ago, well before the Inca Empire rose to power.The findings, published in Nature Communications, challenge previous assumptions about the mobility of pre-Inca societies along the Paci...
Wildfire risk is now spreading to cool climates like the Scottish Highlands and Irish uplands

Thomas Halpin/ShutterstockThe most destructive wildfire season on record in Europe was in 2025, with more than one million hectares burned and tens of thousands of people displaced by fires across the continent. For people in Ireland and Britain, the type of destructive wildfires that ravage southern Europe each summer can seem like a distant problem. But these fires are not confined to the dry Mediterranean land...
Alien material uncovered inside Earth's crater 'rewriting human history'
Researchers have uncovered traces of alien space matter within an ancient impact site in South Korea, a discovery that could fundamentally alter our understanding of how life began on Earth.The team examined the Hapcheon crater, the sole verified asteroid-strike site on the Korean Peninsula, where they identified stromatolites bearing extraterrestrial signatures.These distinctive layered rock formations, created by microbial activity, rank among the earliest known indicators of life on our plane...
Scientists map rocks with rare earth element potential, helping pinpoint new deposits
Researchers from Cambridge’s Department of Earth Sciences mapped occurrences of CO2-rich igneous rocks – the world’s primary source of rare earth elements – finding that their distribution is strongly tied to variations in Earth’s rigid outer layer, the lithosphere. Thicker lithosphere is key to creating the right rocks for enrichment, say the researchers, allowing pockets of molten rock to become trapped at depth where they slowly steep to concentrate metals. The findings, published in the jo...

Something coming: Here's what scientists know about a potential 'super' El Nino
Forecasters say a potentially “super” El Nino is rapidly taking shape in the Pacific — but whether it evolves into a history-making event could hinge on fickle winds and other volatile atmospheric shifts. The fast-warming tropical Pacific is pointing to a major event but a crucial weakening of trade winds — capable of turbocharging or throttling the phenomenon — has yet to materialise. Scientists say these interactions are notoriously complex and difficult to predict — making it too early to con...

Phenomenon, often seen around Britain’s coast at this time of year, is caused by a combination of algae and weatherAt this time of year a sinister-looking substance can often be sighted around Britain’s coast: a frothy foam piled up along the shoreline or appearing in long ribbons offshore. People sometimes assume this foam is the result of pollution or sewage dumping. In fact it is a common natural phenomenon produced by a combination of algae and weather.Sea algae start to grow in April as con...

SpaceX to give out bonus when 1m humans settle on Mars
NEW YORK: SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO filing included some out of this world details, including a provision that founder Elon Musk’s massive bonus only kicks in if one million humans settle on Mars. The bonus structure, laid out in SpaceX’s prospectus filed with US regulators on Wednesday, reads less like a compensation agreement and more like a science fiction plot. Musk’s bonus is contingent on SpaceX’s stock market value hitting targets ranging from $400 billion to $6 trillion — along with the...
