	Most pristine trilobite fossils ever found shake up scientific understanding of the long extinct group Researchers have described some of the best-preserved three-dimensional trilobite fossils ever discovered. The fossils, which are more than 500 million years old, were collected in the High Atlas of Morocco and are being referred to by scientists as "Pompeii" trilobites due to their remarkable preservation in ash.
	Large analysis finds that for healthy adults, taking multivitamins daily is not associated with a lower risk of death A large analysis of data from nearly 400,000 healthy U.S. adults followed for more than 20 years has found no association between regular multivitamin use and lower risk of death. The study, "Multivitamin Use and Mortality Risk in 3 Prospective US Cohorts" led by researchers at the National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute, was published June 26, 2024, in JAMA Network Open.
	Tiny bright objects discovered at dawn of universe baffle scientists A recent discovery by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) confirmed that luminous, very red objects previously detected in the early universe upend conventional thinking about the origins and evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes.
	The surprising behavior of black holes in an expanding universe A physicist investigating black holes has found that, in an expanding universe, Einstein's equations require that the rate of the universe's expansion at the event horizon of every black hole must be a constant, the same for all black holes. In turn this means that the only energy at the event horizon is dark energy, the so-called cosmological constant. The study is published on the arXiv preprint server.
	Analysis of data suggests homosexual behavior in other animals is far more common than previously thought A team of anthropologists and biologists from Canada, Poland, and the U.S., working with researchers at the American Museum of Natural History, in New York, has found via meta-analysis of data from prior research efforts that homosexual behavior is far more common in other animals than previously thought. The paper is published in PLOS ONE.
	Quantum effects forbid the formation of black holes from high concentrations of intense light, say physicists For the last seven decades, astrophysicists have theorized the existence of "kugelblitze," black holes caused by extremely high concentrations of light.
	New research challenges black holes as dark matter explanation The gravitational wave detectors LIGO and Virgo have detected a population of massive black holes whose origin is one of the biggest mysteries in modern astronomy. According to one hypothesis, these objects may have formed in the very early universe and may include dark matter, a mysterious substance filling the universe.
	Frog 'saunas' help endangered frogs survive the devastating impacts of a deadly fungal disease Macquarie University researchers have used heat to develop a simple and effective way to help endangered frogs survive the devastating impacts of a pandemic sweeping multiple species.
	NASA's Juno probe gets a close-up look at lava lakes on Jupiter's moon Io New findings from NASA's Juno probe provide a fuller picture of how widespread the lava lakes are on Jupiter's moon Io and include first-time insights into the volcanic processes at work there. These results come courtesy of Juno's Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument, contributed by the Italian Space Agency, which "sees" in infrared light. Researchers have published a paper on Juno's most recent volcanic discoveries in Communications Earth and Environment.
	Simple new process stores carbon dioxide in concrete without compromising strength By using a carbonated—rather than a still—water-based solution during the concrete manufacturing process, a Northwestern University-led team of engineers has discovered a new way to store carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ubiquitous construction material.
	New tipping point discovered beneath the Antarctic ice sheet A new and worrying way that large ice sheets can melt has been characterized by scientists for the first time. The research focuses on how relatively warm seawater can lap at the underside of ground-based ice, which can accelerate the movement of the ice into the ocean.
	Gravitational wave researchers cast new light on Antikythera mechanism mystery Techniques developed to analyze the ripples in spacetime detected by one of the 21st century's most sensitive pieces of scientific equipment have helped cast new light on the function of the oldest known analog computer.
	1,500-year-old reliquary discovered Since the summer of 2016, archaeologists from Innsbruck have been carrying out excavations in a late antique hilltop settlement in southern Austria. Two years ago, they made a sensational discovery: a Christian reliquary was still hidden in a previously unknown church. It contained a richly decorated ancient reliquary box made of ivory.
	Sediments reveal the ancient ocean during a mass extinction event About 183 million years ago, volcanic activity in modern South Africa unleashed an estimated 20,500 gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the ocean–atmosphere system over a period of 300 to 500 thousand years. Known as the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE), the lack of oxygen, or anoxia, in the water during this time caused a mass extinction of marine species.
	Research suggests parenting styles affect whether a child uses drinking to cope with stress Every parent wants their kid to have a healthy relationship with alcohol. But how do you help them get there? Is it by letting them drink while they're young in hopes of making alcohol less alluring? Or by taking a strict no-drinking approach when they're underage?
	New study reveals comet airburst evidence from 12,800 years ago Researchers continue to expand the case for the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis. The idea proposes that a fragmented comet smashed into the Earth's atmosphere 12,800 years ago, causing a widespread climatic shift that, among other things, led to the abrupt reversal of the Earth's warming trend and into an anomalous near-glacial period called the Younger Dryas.
	The beginnings of fashion: Paleolithic eyed needles and the evolution of dress A team of researchers led by an archaeologist at the University of Sydney are the first to suggest that eyed needles were a new technological innovation used to adorn clothing for social and cultural purposes, marking the major shift from clothes as protection to clothes as an expression of identity.
	Wolves reintroduced to Isle Royale temporarily affect other carnivores, humans have influence as well In a rare opportunity to study carnivores before and after wolves were reintroduced to their ranges, researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that the effects of wolves on Isle Royale have been only temporary. And even in the least-visited national park, humans had a more significant impact on carnivores' lives.
	The downside of being good-looking New research challenges the notion that good looks are the key to happiness. It turns out that an attractive appearance leads to more risky behavior among young people. The more attractive a teenager is, the greater the likelihood that they will party and drink more alcohol than others. According to Professor Colin Peter Green at the Department of Economics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), this means that the risk of developing alcohol problems later in life increases.
