news Anthropology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Archaeological chemistry
Hair from a Scythian tomb in Siberia holds a THC breakdown product beside cannabis seeds from 2,800 years ago. What it shows, and why a toxicologist doubts it.
news Astronomy Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Orbital observations
ExoMars TGO found hydrogen chloride over Alba Mons in the cold season, above fresh fissures. It may be magma seeping out, but no eruption has been seen.
news Astronomy Evidence status: Official announcement
NASA's Swift observatory re-entered over North Sumatra on 4 Nov 2026 after almost 22 years. Why drag won, what Swift found, and what is unknown about debris.
news Anthropology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Descriptive site study
An Antiquity paper describes 280 Ice Age engravings, 55 of them animals, in Catalonia's Cova de la Font Major. The 26,000-year figure is not their date.
news Astronomy Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Method paper
A Nature study's FLIP software recovered the known planet 51 Eridani b in JWST data at 4.3 microns and beat standard processing 2 to 15 times. No new planet.
news Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed; phylogenetic modelling with imputed traits
A PLOS Biology study finds 80% of 51 recently extinct hooved mammals were likely migratory, versus 46% of living ones, but the model result depends on fossils.
news Astronomy Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Observational census
A census of 37 nearby dwarf galaxies finds they keep 4% to 25% of the oxygen their stars made, about 11% on average. Where the rest went is still unknown.
news Physics Evidence status: Preprint, not yet peer reviewed
LHCb reports first single-experiment evidence (3.2 sigma, preprint) for the rare B⁰ decay to two muons, matching the Standard Model but short of discovery.
news Astronomy Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Statistical analysis of two real events
Two gravitational-wave events and a galaxy catalogue give H0 = 67 (+18/−15) km/s/Mpc, a first for this method, but too imprecise to settle the Hubble tension.
