The largest map of the universe reveals over 800,000 galaxies

5 days ago | newatlas.com | Jay Kakade

For years, astronomers have been working to piece together the story of our universe, but the critical early chapters remained largely incomplete. Our telescopes simply haven't been sensitive enough to pick up those faintest traces of light from the farthest reaches of the universe. Until now that is. A new collaborative project dubbed the COSMOS-Web field has compiled the most comprehensive cosmic map ever, including images of the early universe as far back as 13.5 billion years.
Human breathing patterns are as unique as our fingerprints

6 days ago | newatlas.com | Jay Kakade

Just like fingerprints, your breathing patterns may be a unique identifying feature. Scientists have found they can identify people with 96.8% accuracy using only their breathing patterns. And it's not just simple identification, researchers say they can even predict Body Mass Index (BMI), state (sleeping or awake), and cognitive traits (anxiety or depression) from the way you breathe. Though we coordinate it effortlessly, breathing isn’t as simple a process as we may think.

Scientists genetically engineer a lethal mosquito STD to combat malaria

Mosquitoes have long been among humanity’s most formidable adversaries, plaguing us for thousands of years and causing more deaths than any other animal. With traditional control methods facing mounting resistance, researchers are seeking innovative ways to combat mosquito-borne disease. Now, entomologists at the University of Maryland have bioengineered a deadly fungus that spreads sexually in Anopheles (malaria-spreading) mosquitoes.
Researchers find 43,000-year-old human fingerprint, from a Neanderthal

Archaeologists have long debated the origin of human symbolic behavior. The dominant idea was that only modern humans (Homo sapiens) were capable of complex symbolic thought and behavior; such as creating art, jewelry, or engaging in rituals. However, growing evidence suggests Neanderthals also developed symbolic behavior independently, around the same time. This evidence includes decorated ochre items and personal ornaments found at Neanderthal sites.
Oceans are getting darker and marine life is under threat

1 week ago | newatlas.com | Jay Kakade

The oceans are losing their light – and with it, possibly their life. A new study reveals more than 20% of the Earth's oceans, an area larger than Asia, has darkened over the last two decades. These findings raise concerns about how this spreading shadow could reshape marine ecosystems that depend on sunlight and moonlight for survival.
We finally know the recipe for 5,000-year-old Egyptian blue dye

1 week ago | newatlas.com | Jay Kakade

Ancient Egyptians were not only masters of architecture – they also were the original wizards of synthetic chemistry. Around 5,000 years ago, they crafted the world’s first synthetic pigment, Egyptian blue, which exhibits a range of hues from deep blue to gray or green. From painting woods and stones to smearing amulets and beads, Egyptian blue was often traded for high-priced gems like turquoise and lapis lazuli.

Bacteria living on the skin could act as a natural sunscreen

3 weeks ago | newatlas.com | Jay Kakade

Scientists have long recognized human skin as a vibrant ecosystem that's home to millions of microorganisms. Our skin microbiome includes bacteria, fungi, and viruses; all playing a key role in shaping our health by promoting skin immunity and guarding against diseases. These friendly microbes feed on our skin's nutrients, and as a byproduct, they produce various active molecules that influence and interact with our skin cells.
Ancient solar storm 18 percent stronger than 775 AD event

3 weeks ago | newatlas.com | Jay Kakade

A study published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters has uncovered evidence of an extreme ancient solar storm that struck Earth over 14,000 years ago, during the waning days of the last Ice Age. This event is now confirmed as the most powerful solar particle storm on record, exceeding the infamous 775 CE storm that was long considered the strongest.
