As the Trump administration continues its crusade against the institutions of science, the careers of would-be researchers in the US are on the line. President Donald Trump has suggested slashing NASA's science directorate's budget in half, which could deal a fatal blow to dozens of future science missions and greatly undermine the United States' leadership in space, experts warn. Trump's outright anti-science agenda could have devastating knock-on effects for anybody looking to make a career

Hundreds of thousands—if not over a million—years ago, humans discovered how to make fire. This would prove to be one of the most important advancements in prehistoric human development, but the origin of this vital discovery remains a contentious topic among scholars.

Security researchers say Meta and Yandex used native Android apps to listen on localhost ports, allowing them to link web browsing data to user identities and bypass typical privacy protections. Following the disclosure, researchers observed that Meta's Pixel script stopped sending data to localhost and that the tracking code was largely removed. The move may help Meta avoid scrutiny under Google Play policies, which prohibit covert data collection in apps. "We are in discussions with Google t

A cousin of herpes might just help us fight cancer. Scientists have engineered a protein derived from a herpesvirus in monkeys that could enhance the immune system’s potency against cancer. Researchers at the University of Michigan detailed their work on the protein in a paper published last month. In experiments with mice, the protein prolonged the life of cancer-fighting T cells, leading to reduced tumor growth. The findings point to a novel way that we can further strengthen immune-related c

While digging inside a cave in the Spanish city of Segovia, archaeologists uncovered an unusual rock. The hand-sized stone naturally resembled an elongated face, and featured a spot of red pigment made from ochre right on the tip of what may be considered its nose. “We were all thinking the same thing and looking at each other because of its shape: we were all thinking, ‘This looks like a face,’” David Álvarez Alonso, an archaeologist at Complutense University in Madrid who was part of the dig,

On December 17, 1917, the U.S. Navy submarine USS F-1, crashed off the coast of San Diego. Now, more than a century later, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) have collected the first high-definition visuals of the wreckage. During a series of seven dives conducted earlier this year, researchers employed the crewed underwater vehicle Alvin and autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry, both based on the WHOI research ship Atlantis, to snap close-ups of the sunken submarine.

Perhaps the greatest challenge to studying coastal prehistoric communities is the fact that, because of erosion and changing sea levels, those coastlines simply no longer exist. However, there are still ways to study them indirectly.

A giant boulder in Tonga rode a wave from an ancient tsunami 7,000 years ago. The 1,300-ton rock traveled a distance twice the size of a football field, swept away by the sheer force of the wave, according to a new study. But this was no ordinary giant rock. It was also sitting on a 100-foot (30-meter) tall cliff before surfing to its new location—hinting at a past mega-tsunami that swept the region.
