Researchers at the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute have made an exciting discovery that could change how lung cancer is treated. They found that a specific signal, or marker, on cancer cells found in a patient’s blood can help predict whether a new drug called tarlatamab will work for them. This test could give doctors […]

SIR JIM RATCLIFFE and the Glazers will meet at Carrington this week to discuss Manchester United's recent turmoil. Red Devils bosses are putting their heads together for the first time since hiring Michael Carrick. And direct talks with the ex-Middlesbrough manager will be high on their agenda. United's upcoming committee meeting has been moved from...

Every second, a trillion ghost particles stream through your body unnoticed, invisible messengers carrying secrets from the hearts of distant stars. Astrophysicists at the University of Copenhagen have now mapped exactly where these neutrinos originate across our Milky Way Galaxy and how many reach Earth, creating the most comprehensive picture yet of these elusive particles.

Under the Great Salt Lake playa lies a potentially vast reservoir of pressurized freshwater that has accumulated over thousands of years from mountain-derived snowmelt, according to new research from University of Utah geoscientists. This groundwater occupies the pore spaces in sediments that fill the basin west of the Wasatch Mountains and below a 30-foot-thick salty layer.

Researchers risk fire, explosion or poisoning by allowing AI to design experiments, warn scientists. Some 19 different AI models were tested on hundreds of questions to assess their ability to spot and avoid hazards and none recognised all issues – with some doing little better than random guessing

Xenovenator espinosai Rivera-Sylva, Aguillón-Martinez, Flores-Ventura, Sánchez-Uribe, Guzman-Gutierrez & Longrich, 2026DOI: doi.org/10.3390/d18010038AbstractDinosaurs repeatedly evolved adaptations for sexual selection over their 150-million year history, including adaptations for display and intraspecific combat. Adaptations for intraspecific combat have not previously been described in non-avian maniraptorans. We report a troodontid from the Campanian Cerro del Pueblo Formation of Coahuila, Mexico, showing a thickened and domed skull roof. The cranium is domed and bones are extremely thick, a morphology convergent on that of Pachycephalosauridae. Referred specimens show less thickening or doming, suggesting ontogenetic changes or perhaps sexual dimorphism. The holotype shows fusion of the frontal midline suture and tightly interdigitating sutures between skull bones, and a rugose skull roof. The specializations seen here suggest adaptation for intraspecific combat, specifically head-butting as hypothesized for pachycephalosaurids and pachyrhinosaurin ceratopsids. Repeated evolution of elaborate weapons and display features in the Cretaceous suggests that sexual selection became increasingly important in dinosaur evolution during the Cretaceous.Keywords: Dinosauria; Theropoda; Maniraptora; Troodontidae; Cretaceous; Campanian; Laramidia; sexual selection; intraspecific combatSaurischia Seeley, 1888 Theropoda Marsh, 1881 Avetheropoda Paul, 1988 Coelurosauria Von Huene 1914 Maniraptora Gauthier 1986 Deinonychosauria Colbert and Russell, 1969 Troodontidae Gilmore, 1924 Troodontinae van der Reest and Currie, 2017 Troodontini n. tax.Xenovenator gen. nov.Diagnosis. Troodontid characterized by thick frontals, anterior displacement of frontal postorbital processes relative to the parietal suture, broad and transversely arched interfrontal ridge, broad frontal-lacrimal suture.Etymology. Greek xenos, ‘strange’ + Latin venator, ‘hunter’.Xenovenator espinosai sp. nov. Holotype. CPC 2973, braincase including frontals, parietals, orbitosphenoids, laterosphenoids, exoccipitals, prootics, basisphenoid, basioccipital (Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8). Etymology. The species name honors Luis Espinosa, a pioneer in the study of Mexican dinosaurs and mentor to many generations of paleontologists.Diagnosis. Xenovenator characterized by the following characters (* = autapomorphy): frontals extensively fused; frontals, parietals, and other cranial bones with strongly interdigitating sutures *; strong doming of frontals *; frontals and parietals massive (up to 12 mm thick) *, thickening well-developed anteriorly and less well-developed in the center of the frontal *; dorsal surface of frontals and parietals rugose and striated *, nasal processes broad between lacrimals *, orbital fossae widely separated ventrally *, frontal with notch and shelf to receive posterior end of lacrimal, parietal forms narrow process inserting between frontals *; triangular parietal table *, anteroventral expansion of the orbitosphenoids and laterosphenoids to enclose braincase ventrally *.Horizon and Locality. Cerro Del Pueblo Formation, uppermost/latest Campanian (Figure 3), Coahuila, Mexico. CPC 2973 and CPC 3112 are from the La Parrita locality, 54 km west of Saltillo; municipality of General Cepeda, Coahuila, Mexico. CPC 3112 is from the Ejido Trincheras locality, 109 km west of Saltillo, municipality of Parras de la Fuente, Coahuila, Mexico (Figure 2). Hector E. Rivera-Sylva, Martha C.
