A peculiar object dubbed an 'X-ray dot' could help solve the mystery of the 'little red dots' discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope.

When it comes to flying, humans are a bunch of posers. Yes, we’ve built incredible machines capable of dragging us across oceans at 500 miles an hour, but we can’t just get up and fly on our own. Researchers in China may have found a way to trick the brain in…

Now that we’ve recently learned Neanderthals may have been just as intelligent as Homo sapiens, it suddenly makes a lot of sense that a new study found they were carrying around sophisticated tool kits, including tools made from rhinoceros teeth. According to…
