Scientists warn about golden oyster mushrooms sold in Florida markets

A fresh mystery is unfolding inside Egypt’s pyramids. Researchers have discovered two hidden air-filled voids lurking behind the smooth eastern face of the Menkaure pyramid—an area long suspected to conceal something unusual. Using advanced, non-invasive techniques like radar and ultrasound, the team pinpointed these cavities with surprising precision, lending strong support to the idea that a secret entrance may exist.

Beneath the dry farmland of New South Wales lies a hidden window into a lost rainforest teeming with life from 11-16 million years ago. At McGraths Flat, scientists have uncovered fossils preserved in astonishing detail—not in typical rock like shale or sandstone, but in iron-rich sediment once thought incapable of such preservation. Tiny iron particles filled and captured entire cells, preserving everything from insect organs to fish eye pigments and delicate spider hairs.

Microplastics are floating through the atmosphere and spreading across the globe, but their true origins have been misunderstood. New research shows land sources emit over 20 times more microplastic particles into the air than the ocean, challenging earlier beliefs. Scientists also discovered that previous models dramatically overestimated how much plastic is in the atmosphere.
