Aziz KarimovPaleontologists have described a new species of ancient bird from Fujian province that lived 150–148 million years ago. It had serrated teeth and a sickle-shaped claw like predatory dinosaurs, but short forelimbs indicate a ground-dwelling lifestyle. The work is published in Nature.
Aziz KarimovResearchers at the University of Amsterdam reported in Nature a 'time crystal' whose rhythm emerged without external periodic forcing — through a mechanism of 'wave coarsening'. The system was assembled from 37 metamaterial cells printed on a 3D printer; the synchronous rhythm persisted even with added noise.
Sevara AzamovaA new study published in the journal Nature has found that about 44% of reef-building coral species are at elevated risk of extinction. The main cause cited is climate-related thermal stress. Scientists warned that the assessment does not take into account the record ocean warming of 2023–2025, so the share of endangered species may be even higher.
