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 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.
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. #
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.
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.
A mysterious golden sphere found on the Alaskan seafloor in 2023 stumped scientists for nearly three years. Advanced DNA testing finally revealed it was part of a giant deep-sea anemone, showing how ocean exploration continues unlocking nature's secrets.
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.
A microbiologist spent nearly 10 years solving how superbugs spread resistance. An AI agent figured it out in 48 hours, pointing to a revolution in scientific discovery.
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.
After five years of investigation, Canadian researchers have finally provided answers to hundreds of patients worried they had a mysterious brain disease. The good news: thorough medical testing found most patients have diagnosable conditions that doctors can actually treat.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope just cracked a cosmic puzzle that had astronomers scratching their heads. Those mysterious "little red dots" from the early universe aren't breaking the laws of physics after all.
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.
NASA's newest space telescope, launching August 30, could finally crack the universe's biggest puzzle: the mysterious force making space expand faster every year. Scientists are calling it our best shot yet at understanding dark energy, which makes up most of the cosmos.
Scientists finally identified the mysterious "golden orb" discovered two miles underwater in the Gulf of Alaska. Advanced DNA testing revealed it was the remains of a rare giant deep sea anemone.
Scientists discovered that a single ancient asteroid collision may have reshaped nearly the entire surface of Deimos, Mars' mysterious smaller moon. New computer simulations and spacecraft images reveal how one impact created both the moon's giant southern crater and its strangely smooth, dusty surface.
Astronomers may have cracked the code on one of space's most dazzling mysteries. A brilliant cosmic flash called "the Whippet" could reveal how black holes devour massive stars.

After nearly three years of investigation, researchers finally identified a strange golden blob found on the Alaskan seafloor. The mysterious orb turned out to be tissue from a rare giant sea anemone that scientists are still trying to understand.
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.
Astronomers have finally figured out what's causing strange radio bursts from space that repeat every few hours. The discovery could unlock secrets about dozens of similar cosmic mysteries.
