A newly studied fossil from the Gobi Desert is reshaping scientific understanding of how early mammals evolved, offering rare evidence from a pivotal period in Earth’s history. Researchers say the find helps clarify how mammal lineages diversified after the age of dinosaurs, with implications for evolutionary biology and climate-linked extinction recovery.
BCCI senior chief selector Ajit Agarkar appears set to leave his post after a turbulent but influential stint that began with optimism and ended amid changing leadership dynamics in Indian cricket. His final selection committee meeting, sources indicate, came just over a week ago when the panel named squads for the West Indies series and the Irani Cup, with Rohit Sharma's future once again under scrutiny.
A Democratic US representative has announced plans to introduce legislation that would terminate the federal surveillance tower program along the southern border, citing MIT Technology Review's investigation into its deadly failures. The move comes as AI's role in climate and security debates intensifies, with the technology drawing both investment and skepticism at New York Climate Week.
A new MIT Technology Review investigation has found that more than a thousand people moved through areas monitored by U.S. border surveillance towers without being reached or apprehended, and later died there. The findings challenge the long-promised security and humanitarian benefits of the billions spent over 25 years on the southern border's so-called virtual wall, including newer AI-powered systems meant to detect people automatically.
A landmark study combining reference genomes and fossils has redrawn the bat family tree, pushing the origin of modern bats back about 65 million years and pointing to Europe as an early center of bat evolution. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about where bats first emerged and how they spread across the world after the age of dinosaurs.
The final A-10 Thunderbolt II assigned to Nellis Air Force Base has made its last departure, closing a notable chapter in the aircraft's long association with one of the U.S. Air Force's most important training hubs. The departure underscores the steady drawdown of the Warthog fleet and the enduring reputation the aircraft built among pilots, maintainers and ground forces alike.
A battery-powered small unmanned aircraft system has shattered a world endurance record after flying for more than eight hours in desert heat, powered by critical propulsion components assembled at Tobyhanna Army Depot. The milestone highlights the growing role of the Army's organic industrial base in supporting advanced defense technology and accelerating innovation for unmanned systems.
