From : BBC News By : Rebecca Morelle, Science Editor and Alison Francis, Senior Science Journalist Edited by : Amal Udawatta Tony Jolliffe/BBC News The fossil was originally found in 1985 on James Ross Island in Antarctica An unassuming-looking fossil that spent 40 years lying forgotten in a drawer has turned out to be the first dinosaur bone ever found in Antarctica. The specimen was unearthed in 1985, but the team that discovered it was not sure what it was - so it was stored away in the geology collection of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) in Cambridge. Now the fossil has been studied by palaeontologists who have confirmed that it is a tail bone from a type of dinosaur called a Titanosaur - this group contained the largest dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth. The discovery helps to reveal more about how these beasts lived in a part of the world where the fossil record is sparse. Tony Jolliffe/BBC News The discovery was recorded in geolog...
From : Space.com By : Elizabeth Howell Edited by : Amal Udawatta NASA researchers conduct the first-of-its-kind organ transport drone test with a human kidney on June 5, 2026 at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. (Image credit: NASA/Ryan Hill) The drone flew beyond line of sight with a kidney not viable for organ transplant, to test the concept for future deliveries to patients. NASA is hoping to use drones to speed up organ delivery for transplant patients. A flight test earlier this month at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia saw a drone pick up a kidney and fly it for the first time beyond "line of sight", or the distance from which a drone is visible by an operator. Keeping a line of sight on a drone is a typical requirement for flight safety, but NASA is developing tools that may allow these machines to fly further away from operators in populated environments more regularly. The kidney on the June 5 flight ...
