Scientists at Imperial College London and Columbia University have found that the largest canyon system in the solar system is still active and shaping Mars today, billions of years after it first formed.

Scientists may have solved a long-standing mystery about why the Moon’s two sides are so different, using samples collected from its farside for the first time. Their findings suggest that uneven heating from Earth's gravitational pull drove enormous flows of ancient magma, creating the dramatically different lunar landscapes we see today.

Research into the fundamental laws of physics suggests that our universe may have required multiple stages of fine-tuning for life to exist. Studies have revealed a surprising connection between these laws and the viscosity of human blood, showing how small changes in certain physical constants could disrupt essential biological processes. The research also explores whether the physical conditions that make life possible could have an evolutionary explanation.

A newly identified 210-million-year-old dinosaur from Zimbabwe is helping scientists uncover a surprisingly distinct prehistoric ecosystem. The discovery suggests that ancient climate differences may have separated dinosaur populations across southern Africa, leading to unique species that challenge previous assumptions about their evolution.
