- A 2024 Harvard-led study collected 281 German cockroaches from 17 countries across 6 continents and analyzed their DNA; researchers found the pest evolved from an Asian cockroach about 2,100 years ago before hitching rides with humans around the worldAccording to new genetic findings, the German cockroach's roots trace back to Asia nearly 2,000 years ago. It seems that the cockroach adap...

- In 1997, Sandia won $393,000 to make fingerprints and other organic evidence blink under flashing light. Decades later, the idea remains an example of using fluorescence to find hidden cluesIn 1997, Sandia National Laboratories secured $393,000 to solve background glare on physical crime scene evidence. By modulating light at h...
- In 1836, a pangolin from Nepal entered a London museum collection. 190 years later, scientists sequenced its preserved DNA and confirmed Manis aurita as a distinct species, giving conservationists a new tool against poachingA historic pangolin specimen from 1836 helped confirm Manis aurita as a distinct species. This discovery aids conservationists in identifyi...

- In 1864, a bottle of Guinness was brewed under Queen Victoria; 162 years later, divers recovered it from a shipwreck, where its preserved yeast may help recreate the taste of Victorian stoutA 162-year-old Guinness bottle has been pulled from a shipwreck in the English Channel, opening a rare window into Victorian brewing. The s...
- In 2014, scientists compared EPAS1 DNA from 40 Tibetans and 40 Han Chinese and linked a high-altitude adaptation to Denisovan-like ancestry. 12 years later, the finding traced the genetic gift to an interbreeding event about 48,700 years agoIn 2014, scientists found a remarkable clue in Tibetan DNA. They compared the EPAS1 gene in 40 Tibetans and 40 Han Chinese and uncovered a ...
