Now, a new discovery offers a clearer picture of their external appearance: Scientists re-examined an old plesiosaur fossil, which had been sitting in a museum’s storage for decades, and ...

France’s low-carbon electricity output surged to more than 95% of annual power production for the first time in 2024, as rising nuclear and hydro generation squeezed the use of fossil fuels.

A new study provides compelling new evidence that a colossal 'megaflood ... the researchers discovered a 'W-shaped channel' on the continental shelf east of the Sicily Sill.
