The specimen, uncovered in Teruel, measured 25 meters and lived 150 million years ago

The discoverer of asymmetric organocatalysis defends the discipline’s potential to solve humanity’s greatest problems

Diego Córdoba and Luis Martínez‑Zoroa’s research is the foundation of the announcement that artificial intelligence has solved one of the greatest enigmas in history. Both believe the achievement will radically change the discipline

Remains found in the fossilized feces of a theropod show that modern-type feathers had already evolved in other bird lineages 66 million years ago
