Study Explores Sun’s Magnetic Field Changes and Solar Wind Acceleration
A study published in The Astrophysical Journal has shed light on how the Sun’s magnetic field influences solar wind acceleration. Using data from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, researchers observed that sharp magnetic switchbacks smooth out into gentler waves as they travel further from the Sun. This relaxation process transfers magnet...

Advanced 3D Fossil Scans Provide Clues to the Origins of Bipedalism in Human Evolution
A new study published in the American Journal of Primatology uses advanced 3D scanning technology to examine fossilized bones and muscle insertion points, shedding light on the evolution of bipedalism in human ancestors. Led by Professor Josep M. Potau from the University of Barcelona, the research suggests that early hominins, like Australopithecu...

Study Explains Blinking Gamma-Ray Bursts Using Falling Stardust, Unsteady Jets
Astrophysicists have developed the first 3D simulation of the entire evolution of a jet from its birth by a rotating black hole to its emission far from the collapsing star. Simulation explains that as the star collapses, its material falls on the disk that swirls around the black hole. This falling material tilts the disk, and, in turn, tilts the ...

Early Humans Began Cooking And Eating Starchy Plant Tubers 120,000 Years Ago: Study
According to a recent research, published in the Journal of Human Evolution, early humans began roasting and eating starchy plant tubers, as early as 120,000 years ago.

Breathe Easy: Nose Shape Was Influenced By Local Climate
The human nose, in all its glorious forms, is one of our most distinctive characteristics, whether big, little, broad, narrow or somewhere in between. Scientists are now sniffing out some of the factors that drove the evolution of the human proboscis.

Astronomers Find A Tailless Comet, First Of Its Kind
Astronomers have found a first-of-its-kind tailless comet whose composition may offer clues into long-standing questions about the solar system's formation and evolution, according to research published on Friday in the journal Science Advances.

How Climbing Down From Trees Let Humans Finally Get A Good Night's Sleep
Millions of years ago, when we were shorter and hairier and, well, let's just say it, not too far removed from chimps, a night of uninterrupted sleep was impossible to come by.
