Decades-Long Experiment Finds Strange Mix of Antimatter in The Heart of Every Proton
Like the Universe's tiniest matryoshka dolls, atoms are typically modelled as particles within particles – a nuclei built of protons and neutrons, which in turn contain trios of fundamental particles called quarks.

Dust From Asteroid That Ended Dinosaur Reign Closes Case on Impact Extinction Theory
Having dominated the planet's surface for hundreds of millions of years, dinosaur diversity came to a dramatic conclusion some 66 million years ago at the hot end of an asteroid impact with what is today Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.

In a Momentous Discovery, Scientists Show Neanderthals Could Produce Human-Like Speech
Our Neanderthal cousins had the capacity to both hear and produce the speech sounds of modern humans, a new study has found.
Based on a detailed analysis and digital reconstruction of the structure of the bones in their skulls, the study settles one aspect of a decades-long debate over the linguistic capabilities of Neanderthals.

A 1990s iMac Processor Powers NASA’s Perseverance Rover
As we watched NASA put a rover on Mars last month, it definitely seemed like the agency had to be using some sort of high-tech processor in its machine. Surely the rover is built on something much more powerful than the components in devices us civilians use, right? But while NASA is technically using a specialized processor to power the Perseverance rover, it’s not far removed from the world of consumer electronics—about 23 years ago.

🚀 SpaceX's SN10 Test Flight Highlights
Three Raptors (engines) relit. Shutdown one. Flip complete. Shutdown another. Landed on one as intended. Landing legs seemed to be an issue, but landed on the pad. Test was deemed extremely successful. SN10 later exploded on the pad likely due to a Methane leak however SpaceX are very satisfied with the data gained from the test. We look forward to future test flights.

This Exoplanet May Be Our Best Chance of 'Seeing' The Atmosphere of an Alien World
Named Gliese 486 b, the exoplanet is a rocky world that astronomers think could be similar to Venus - rocky, hot, and possibly sporting an atmosphere (although it would be a lot thinner than Venus'). And it meets all the criteria that we look for when trying to find exoplanetary atmospheres to probe with the next generation of telescopes.
