'Impossible' Earthquakes: The First Global Map of Quakes Deep Inside Earth's Mantle
Stanford scientists have created the first-ever global map of continental mantle earthquakes. Out of 46,000 quakes over 35 years, they identified 459 seismic events occurring not in the crust, but deeper — in Earth's mantle.

CDG-2: The Ghost Galaxy Detected Only Through Its Globular Clusters
Astronomers have found CDG-2 in the Perseus cluster — an object 300 million light-years away made of 99% dark matter. It was detected not by starlight, but by four globular clusters that betrayed its invisible host. This is the first galaxy ever discovered exclusively through its globular cluster population.

A Bacterium Frozen for 5,000 Years Is Resistant to 10 Antibiotics — and May Help Discover New Ones
Deep in a Romanian ice cave, scientists found an ancient microbe that has never encountered modern medicine — yet already knows how to resist it. The discovery is both a warning and a window of opportunity.

Spinosaurus mirabilis: A New Saber-Crested Dinosaur Discovered in the Sahara
The first new Spinosaurus species in over a century has been found deep in Niger's Sahara — a 42-foot predator with a vivid head crest that lived not in the sea, but along inland rivers 95 million years ago.

The Golden Ratio in Your Brain: How Balancing Prediction and Surprise Makes Us Antifragile
A new theoretical framework links the golden ratio, information theory, and neuroscience — revealing how the brain balances certainty with surprise to become stronger through stress.

Coffee vs. Dementia: Harvard Tracked 132,000 People for 40 Years
The largest observational study of its kind in JAMA: 2–3 cups of coffee or 1–2 cups of tea per day linked to 18% lower dementia risk. Decaf showed no benefit — and that tells us something important.
