After 166 years, scientists have finally identified the skeleton of Henry Peglar, a senior sailor from the doomed 1845 Franklin expedition who mysteriously died wearing a steward's uniform. DNA analysis solved a puzzle that has baffled historians since his remains were discovered on a remote Arctic island in 1859.
Scientists just diagnosed a rare genetic condition in a mother and daughter who lived over 12,000 years ago, proving that communities cared for vulnerable members even during the Ice Age. The discovery marks the earliest genetic diagnosis ever made in human history.
Scientists finally discovered why some stars stay young and blue for billions of years: they steal gas from companion stars like cosmic vampires. The finding solves a puzzle that has stumped astronomers since the 1950s.
Astronomers puzzled by mysterious red dots in deep space images have discovered something beautiful: baby black holes growing inside protective cocoons of gas, like cosmic butterflies. The finding solves a year-long mystery and reveals a previously unknown stage in how supermassive black holes develop.
Two determined moms and Yale researchers solved a medical mystery that was crippling children across Connecticut. Their discovery led to treatments that now help nearly half a million Americans recover each year.
An artificial intelligence model just cracked a famous math problem that's puzzled brilliant minds since 1946, marking the first time AI has independently solved a major mathematical mystery. Even more exciting: the breakthrough is already inspiring human mathematicians to push the discovery even further.
An AI model just solved a math problem that has stumped the world's brightest mathematicians since 1946. The breakthrough disproves what experts believed for nearly eight decades and marks the first time artificial intelligence has independently solved a major unsolved problem in mathematics. #
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered mysterious bright red objects from the early Universe that shouldn't exist according to standard physics. Scientists just figured out they're a new type of black hole that formed directly from gas clouds, solving a cosmic puzzle.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to solve a cosmic puzzle about a mysterious object 15 times heavier than Jupiter. The answer reveals how we can finally tell planets and stars apart, even when they're nearly identical in size.
NASA discovered two ultradense neutron stars colliding in a tiny galaxy hidden inside a massive gas stream, solving puzzles about mysterious gamma-ray bursts and how precious metals end up in distant stars. This groundbreaking find shows extreme cosmic events can happen in the smallest places.
Researchers finally discovered why up to 10% of people on life-saving cholesterol medication experience debilitating muscle pain. A new drug already in use could prevent this side effect entirely.
A puzzle that stumped physicists for three decades just got solved, and it turns out those "missing" neutrinos were never missing at all. New research shows the gallium anomaly was based on a measurement misunderstanding, not mysterious new physics.
Scientists discovered a massive ancient cliff system that may explain how the Grand Canyon's deepest rocks were exposed nearly a billion years before the Colorado River carved the iconic landscape. The finding also helps solve one of geology's greatest mysteries: where a billion years of rock disappeared to.
After 50 years, astronauts are heading back to the Moon with better tools and bigger questions. The Artemis missions could finally crack mysteries about our closest cosmic neighbor that have puzzled scientists since the Apollo era.
After nearly three decades, advanced DNA testing helped identify remains found in Olympic National Park, giving a Hawaii family closure about their missing loved one. The breakthrough shows how persistence and new technology can solve even the coldest cases.
Engineers at a South Dakota research facility discovered that rainwater rushing down mine shafts pushes air like a giant piston, solving a ventilation mystery. The breakthrough could help underground operations worldwide manage airflow during storms and emergencies.
