Zebra shark makes world-first switch from sexual to asexual reproduction
A zebra shark (Stegostoma fasciatum) in Australia has become the first recorded case of a shark switching from sexual to asexual reproduction.
In April last year, Leonie gave birth to three pups called Cleo, CC, and Gemini in a Queensland aquarium. This sweet but otherwise unremarkable tale would have gone unnoticed by the science world if it weren't for one key detail: Leonie hadn't mated with a male shark since 2012.

Physicists say they've manipulated 'pure nothingness' and observed the fallout
According to quantum mechanics, a vacuum isn't empty at all. It's actually filled with quantum energy and particles that blink in and out of existence for a fleeting moment - strange signals that are known as quantum fluctuations.
For decades, there had only ever been indirect evidence of these fluctuations, but back in 2015, researchers claimed to have detected the theoretical fluctuations directly. And now the same team says they've gone a step further, having manipulated the vacuum itself, and detecting the changes in these strange signals in the void.

Trump Reportedly Interested in a Mars Mission
Some speculate that incoming President Donald Trump is considering supporting a revamped humans-to-Mars program.
Trump reportedly talked about Mars exploration and public-private partnerships with Elon Musk during a meeting.
Trump also talked with historian Douglas Brinkley about the Apollo program and how it brought the country together in the 1960s.

Researchers say they've figured out what makes people reject science, and it's not ignorance
A lot happened in 2016, but one of the biggest cultural shifts was the rise of fake news - where claims with no evidence behind them (e.g. the world is flat) and get shared as fact alongside evidence-based, peer-reviewed findings (e.g. climate change is happening).
Researchers have coined this trend the 'anti-enlightenment movement', and there's been a lot of frustration and finger-pointing over who or what's to blame. But a team of psychologists has identified some of the key the factors that can cause people to reject science - and it has nothing to do with how educated or intelligent they are.

A radical new hypothesis claims to have a simple explanation for dark energy
For decades, scientists have puzzled over the fact that our Universe is expanding. Logically, gravity should be pulling our galaxies closer together, but observations in the 1990s revealed that the Universe isn't just expanding, it's expanding at a seemingly accelerating rate, something scientists put down to dark energy.
Dark energy (not to be confused with dark matter) is the hypothetical force that makes up around 68.3 percent of the energy in the observable Universe, and pushes galaxies apart. But despite lots of indirect evidence for its existence, no one has been able to directly detect dark energy, or adequately explain where it comes from.

A new 'flesh-eating parasite' relative has been discovered in Australia
A new study has discovered a new species of parasite living in Australia, which shares an evolutionary ancestor to a terrifying group of 'flesh-eating' parasites.
The new parasite - Zelonia australiensis has recently been discovered in an Australian black fly species that bites mammals – including humans.

Light-speed camera snaps light’s “sonic boom” for the first time
A light-speed event requires an even faster camera. A new camera setup has captured the first film of a photonic Mach cone – basically, a sonic boom with light – in real time.
“Our camera is different from a common camera where you just take a snapshot and record one image: our camera works by first capturing all the images of a dynamic event into one snapshot. And then we reconstruct them, one by one,” says Jinyang Liang at Washington University in St Louis.

Chunks of Failed Planets Might Have Scarred Early Earth
The rocky worlds of the solar system may bear scars from the debris that didn't quite make the cut as planets, a new research suggests.
Billions of years ago, when the solar system was very young, showers of material slammed into the infant Earth, its moon and Mars, in a period known as the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB).

Lights Out: Asteroid Triggered Freezing Darkness That Killed Dinos
When a giant asteroid careened into Earth about 66 million years ago, the enormous collision led to the formation of an airborne "curtain" of sulfate molecules that blocked the sun's light and led to years of freezing cold and darkness, a new study finds.
The finding shows how these droplets, or aerosols, of sulfuric acid formed high in the atmosphere, and likely contributed to the deaths of 75 percent of all animals on Earth, including nonavian dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex and long-necked sauropods, the researchers said.
