Physicists finally put Feynman's path integral to the test - Phys.org

For nearly 80 years, physicists have relied on a thought experiment created by Richard Feynman to predict how quantum particles behave. For the first time, researchers in China have tested this trick directly in the lab.

Scientists discover massive 'thermal anomaly' beneath the surface of Mars - Space

"Scientists usually assume that the interiors of planetary bodies are generally spherically symmetric, but this is not necessarily true."

Six healthy men entered a simulated Mars spacecraft in 2010. Within three months they were moving less, and over 520 days the crew slept and rested progressively more—a slide into what researchers called “behavioural torpor,” possibly driven by confinem - Space Daily

About 252 million years ago, Siberian volcanoes heated Earth's oceans until much of marine life effectively suffocated — and scientists have now confirmed the same deadly combination of warming and oxygen loss is developing again today. - Space Daily

About 252 million years ago, Siberian volcanoes heated Earth's oceans until much of marine life effectively suffocated — and scientists have now confirmed the same deadly combination of warming and oxygen loss is developing again today. - Space Daily

A 2026 PNAS study links end-Permian extinction patterns to temperature-dependent hypoxia, while modern observations show oceans are warming and losing oxygen. The mechanisms align, but the ancient catastrophe is not a direct forecast of present conditions.
