Researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Fribourg reached this conclusion after studying thousands of placental mammal fossils.
About 66 million years ago, when a giant space rock blasted into Earth, it wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs. And this catastrophic event became known as the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction.
A European space telescope has launched from Florida on a quest to resolve one of the biggest questions in science: What is the Universe made of?
The Euclid mission will make an immense 3D map of the cosmos in an effort to tie down some of the properties of so-called dark matter and dark energy.

The International Justice Mission (IJM) says a partnership with the space technology company Maxar is allowing it to track the growth of "compounds," places where people are forced to work as online scammers in Southeast Asia.
Border towns in Myanmar like Shwe Kokko and Lay Kay Kaw, for example, "host gambling and entertainment complexes developed by Chinese investors" accused of human rights violations, according to the Financial Post .
Mercenary hackers increasingly are targeting law firms in a bid to steal data that could tip the balance in legal cases, French and British authorities say, echoing a Reuters investigation that uncovered the phenomenon last year.
In a pair of reports published over the past week, the cyber watchdog agencies of France and the United Kingdom cataloged an array of digital challenges faced by law firms, including threats posed by ransomware and malicious insiders.
The search for exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system, has been a hot topic in the field of astronomy for the past few decades.
Machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, enables computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so.

Mobile robots can dance around a stage, perform graceful acrobatics and even lift heavy objects. But if you watched them strut their stuff for an hour or two, you would see the robots grind to a halt. Like humans, mobile robots eventually exhaust the energy that they carry, and need a recharge.
In 1906, astronomer and businessman Percival Lowell launched a search for "Planet X," a hypothetical giant planet orbiting the sun beyond Neptune. Lowell was convinced that Planet X existed based on some supposed irregularities he had observed in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus.
Today, the Planet X hypothesis is largely considered to be discredited . However, that hasn't stopped astronomers from looking for planets in the far reaches of the solar system. And according to a new study, they might be out there — only much farther away than Lowell could have predicted.

DALLAS — Personal information for more than 8,000 applicants to become pilots at American Airlines and Southwest Airlines was stolen when hackers broke into a data base maintained by a recruiting company.
The breach at Austin, Texas-based Pilot Credentials occurred April 30, and the airlines learned about it on May 3. They notified affected job seekers last week.
NASA says the asteroid, called 2013 WV44 and estimated to be up to 524 feet (160 metres) in diameter will pass around 9am BST.
According to a report by MailOnline the asteroid will be travelling at 11.8 km per second, or over 26,000 miles per hour.
Despite being around nine times further out than the moon, the asteroid is classed as a near-Earth object (NEO) and is being tracked by NASA.

Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, HawaiΚ»i Island have discovered one of the lowest-mass planets whose images have been directly captured.
The planet, called AF Lep b, is among the first ever discovered using a technique called astrometry; this method measures the subtle movements of a host star over many years to help astronomers determine whether hard-to-see orbiting companions, including planets, are gravitationally tugging at it.
