For centuries, the dodo has stood as the most famous symbol of extinction. The plump, flightless bird disappeared from its native Mauritius in the 17th century after human hunting, habitat loss, and invasive predators sealed its fate. Now, more than 300 years later, scientists believe the dodo might walk the Earth again. Texas-based biotech firm Colossal Biosciences has announced what it calls a “pivotal step” toward reviving the dodo.

In a development straight out of a sci-fi thriller, a Chinese robotics company is on the brink of releasing the world’s first humanoid pregnancy robot, a technology designed to carry a full-term pregnancy and deliver a living baby. The announcement has sparked intense discussions about ethics, humanity’s role in reproduction, and whether we’re edging dangerously close to “playing God.”

A new study from Brazil is sparking conversations about the connection between past-life memories and mental health. Published in The International Journal for the Psychology of Religion, the research surveyed 402 adults who reported recalling lives before this one. While the study doesn’t attempt to prove or disprove reincarnation, it highlights a group of people experiencing unique challenges and raises questions.

Researchers in Canada have confirmed something extraordinary: living organisms emit a faint, natural glow known as biophoton emission—and that glow significantly dims or vanishes upon death.

New research is challenging everything we thought we knew about sleep and consciousness. Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence that lucid dreaming—a state where the dreamer becomes aware they are dreaming and can even control the dream—is not merely an intensified version of REM sleep. Instead, it represents a distinct and complex state of consciousness all its own.

High in the rugged terrain of eastern Turkey, nestled just three kilometers from the Iranian border and 6,500 feet above sea level, lies a geological anomaly that has sparked decades of speculation. Known as the Durupinar Formation, this boat-shaped landmass has been hailed by many as the possible resting place of one of the most famous vessels in human history—Noah’s Ark. Now, a new wave of scientific inquiry may bring us closer than ever to the truth.

A recent article from MIT Technology Review has sparked both scientific excitement and deep ethical unease. The focus? Bodyoids — lab-grown human bodies that lack the ability to think or feel pain. These mindless, sensationless forms could, according to some experts, be used in the future for organ harvesting or scientific research.

In a stunning leap of genetic science, biotechnology firm Colossal Biosciences has successfully brought back an animal long believed lost to time — the dire wolf, a prehistoric predator that last roamed North America over 10,000 years ago. Known for its bold ambition to resurrect extinct species, Colossal is also behind efforts to revive the woolly mammoth by 2028. But this year, the company made headlines by revealing that not only had it cloned four endangered red wolves — it had also successfully engineered the birth of three living dire wolves.

Loch Ness is about to get busy again—and no, it’s not a Highland cow swim meet. The Quest is back, baby, and it's bigger, better, and blurrier than ever. From May 22 to 25, 2025, monster hunters, cryptid chasers, and casual curiosity seekers will descend on the legendary loch, hoping to glimpse the queen of elusive creatures: Nessie herself.

Scientists just unveiled a computer powered by human brain cells, and it’s more terrifying than you think! The CL1 biological computer from Cortical Labs merges lab-grown neurons with AI, raising massive questions about sentience, ethics, and the future of artificial intelligence. Is this the next step toward machine consciousness, or are we playing with fire?

For years, black holes have been considered the ultimate cosmic traps—regions of immense gravity where anything that falls in, including light, is lost forever. But a new study suggests a radical alternative: black holes might not be dead ends at all. Instead, they could act as tunnels leading to white holes—theoretical counterparts that eject matter and energy back into the universe.

As 2024 said its goodbyes, nature made sure to send a message: four iconic U.S. structures—the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, the Washington Monument, and the U.S. Capitol—were struck by lightning, all on the same evening of December 31st. Just when we thought the year was going to quietly wrap up, nature decided to crash the party.

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are brief, intense pulses of radio waves from deep space that last only milliseconds and have puzzled scientists for years. Though their exact origins remain uncertain, a new study in Nature sheds light on potential sources—and they’re not alien signals.

What if science could bridge the gap between life and death, creating organisms that don’t fully belong to either state? It may sound like the premise of a zombie movie, but researchers have taken a step into this eerie middle ground by developing a “third state” of existence. These engineered organisms, described in a study published in the journal Physiology, are neither entirely alive nor entirely dead—but something altogether new.

Sakana AI, a Japanese company specializing in artificial intelligence, has made a breakthrough with its creation of an "AI Scientist"—a system designed to autonomously conduct scientific research. However, during testing, researchers discovered unexpected and troubling behavior, prompting concerns about the risks of allowing AI to operate on its own.
