The Congo’s orange-lipped, roar-and-snort monkey is described in PLOS One, and its DNA redraws African primate timelines.

The discovery of Colobus congoensis could already be endangered, raising immediate conservation stakes.

They detected the ultraviolet “Hawking partners” and the back reaction that reshapes the analogue event horizon.

A raspberry-like molecule in a molecular cloud could reshape origin-of-life chemistry, even if Earth never makes cosmic candy.

Heat alone is bad. Heat plus high humidity can become biologically unmanageable, and the wet-bulb numbers say it clearly.

A new result narrows the gap between truly random behavior and the structure that still leaks through.

The Shel Talmy Recordings compilation finally releases unheard 1965 material, rewiring how the early Bowie-to-Page story gets told.

NASA’s rover found the “Broom Point member,” likely over 3.9 billion years old, and timed the violence.

A new approach treats thermal fluctuations as a feature, not a bug, changing how reliability is engineered.

A dented Duro Rocket felt-tip turns into a collector valuation benchmark, and it matters for anyone pricing rare provenance.
A volatile queen pheromone enforces who reproduces, reshaping how we think about social control in biology.

A single queen scent, tested in cages and colony removals, functions like a colony-wide super-contraceptive.
