Largest ever sea creature discovered by scientists | BBC News

Scientists have identified what they have suspected was probably the largest marine reptile ever to swim in the seas – a creature longer than two, nose-to-nose buses. The creature lived around 202 million years ago alongside the dinosaurs. Its fossilised jawbone was found in 2016 by a fossil hunter on a beach in Somerset, UK. In 2020 a father and daughter found another similar jawbone….

Deadly Africa heat caused by climate change, scientists say | BBC News

A deadly heatwave in West Africa and the Sahel was “impossible” without human-induced climate change, scientists say.   Temperatures soared above 48C in Mali last month with one hospital linking hundreds of deaths to the extreme heat.   In Bamako, the capital of Mali, the Gabriel Toure Hospital said it recorded 102 deaths in the first days of April.   Researchers say human activities like…

Corals turning white and dying after record heat, say scientists | BBC News

Coral around the world is turning white and even dying as recent record ocean heat takes a devastating toll. It has triggered the fourth global mass coral bleaching event, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Bleaching happens when coral gets stressed and turns white because the water it lives in is too hot. Coral sustains ocean life, fishing, and creates trillions…

Scientists grow whole model of human embryo, without sperm or egg – BBC News

Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo, without using sperm, eggs or a womb. The Weizmann Institute team say their “embryo model”, made using stem cells, looks like a textbook example of a real 14-day-old embryo. It even released hormones that turned a pregnancy test positive in the lab. The ambition for embryo models is to provide an ethical way…

How artificial intelligence is helping scientists talk to animals – BBC News

Scientists are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to decode animal languages. Scientists in Israel are closer than ever to making two-way communication with another species more likely – by using AI to understand the language of bats. “I’ve always dreamt of a Dolittle machine that will allow me to talk with animals”, said Professor Yossi Yovel of Tel Aviv University. The team at…

Scientists pick up shock waves from colliding galaxies – BBC News

Scientists have picked up shock waves from the orbit of supermassive black holes at the heart of distant galaxies as they begin to merge. This may be the first direct evidence of giant black holes distorting space and time as they spiral in on each other. The theory is that this is how galaxies grow. Now astronomers may soon be able to watch it happen….
