A significant new accomplishment that was just accomplished by Chinese scientists was the discovery of the sixth new lunar mineral. The surface samples sent back by the nation’s Change 5 robotic mission allowed them to make the discovery of the ...
There are vast kelp and seaweed forests below the surface, considerably larger than we had imagined. There aren’t many people even mentioned by name. However, a vast variety of aquatic life thrives under their verdant canopy. The Great African Seaforest ...
A recent discovery of a 380-million-year-old heart left researchers in awe, but it is quite the deal when it comes to evolutionary history. The 380-million-year-old heart, the oldest ever found, coupled with a separate fossilized liver, stomach, and intestine (can ...
Chinese scientists have found a brand-new mineral called Changesite-(Y) in lunar samples returned by China’s Chang’e-5 lunar spacecraft in December 2020. The mineral resembles a diamond a lot due to its crystal clear appearance. China is, at present, the third ...
To make matter even colder than the darkest parts of space, a team of researchers has managed to chill it to within a billionth of a degree of absolute zero. The experiment, run at the University of Kyoto in Japan, ...
Scientists warn that we’re not ready for the next supervolcano eruption, and that’s quite shocking. Before we start panicking, which shouldn’t be the case, Earth already has a lot of threats, some of which we have just recently encountered. That ...
PEDP is a protein pigment epithelium-derived factor, which safeguards retinal support cells, and the loss of it may hasten age-related alterations in the retina, highlights a recent National Eye Institute (NEI) research. That being said, age-related macular degeneration-like symptoms can ...
According to a study of approximately 7 million-year-old bones, our earliest known ancestors could climb trees like an ape while walking on two legs. As shocking as that could be, it’s not the only thing that’ll have this impact on ...
Triassic reptiles sprang to dominance for various reasons, including a significant extinction 252 million years ago. According to a recent study, the rate of climate change may contribute significantly to the acceleration of evolution. Scientists focused on the development of ...
According to recent research, the megalodon shark was the fastest shark ever. It was also so massive that it could easily swallow an orca in just a few bites! Now, scientists get the best look yet at the size, speed, ...
A group of scientists has been using a pair of vibrating rods to determine the gravitational constant to extraordinarily precise accuracy. While there is still a lot of room for error with the new method, researchers are optimistic that advancements ...
