Botanists from the University of British Columbia and the University of Wisconsin have all the reasons to be proud of themselves. These folks have discovered in North America a new carnivorous plant known as Triantha occidentalis. The plant makes its ...
Researchers have recently obtained a lost fragment of Stonehenge that was taken back in 1958. Back in 1958, Robert Philips used to be the representative of a drilling company that was working on the restoration of Stonehenge. While the monument ...
Scientists are worried about a possible devastating impact on our planet. Their concerns are tied to the Gulf Stream, as the current poses a risk of collapsing. The stream remains one of the main potential tipping points when it comes ...
Habitable planets surely are there, somewhere, waiting for us. Our common sense tells us that Earth cannot be the only one in such a vast amount of space. But until astronomers ever find those fully habitable planets, learning more about ...
New observations using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have provided a wealth of data on a system of Neptune-sized planets around the star L 98-59. Researchers found a planet that is half as massive as Venus—a record-breaking low for this ...
Solarpunk proposes a radical rethinking of how we interact with the natural world, challenging our conventional understanding of what civilization is, while also suggesting ways in which our current way of life can be overthrown and replaced by something better. ...
A recent study conducted by NASA scientists implies that the “roughness” of the Moon’s surface and the shadows that fill it may be where solid water is hiding. Though the Moon looks a lot like a dried-up husk, there are ...
Astronomers have always wondered why water is so rare in the rest of the solar system when it’s present pretty much everywhere on Earth. According to a relatively new perspective of those from NASA, extraterrestrial water might be closer to ...
Neanderthals used to be perceived as unsophisticated and barbaric, but several discoveries show that they had some more elevated activities than previously thought. A recent discovery depicts some painted stalagmites in a Spanish cave over 60,000 years ago. The discovery ...
Cats are known to be pretty smart creatures. They can understand a lot of things, even though they often ignore their owners. Cats even have outstanding long- and short-term memories. According to a new study posted in Trends in Genetics, ...
Scientists have just learn something very interesting about our sun! There are slow-moving waves of plasma on the sun, and they could actually help us understand what’s going on with the star’s magnetic field. NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) has ...
Black holes are scary enough not to look further into the depths of the Universe. These savages beasts rest at the galaxies’ centers, weighing millions of times the mass of the Sun. They’re also the most mysterious objects that continue ...
La Nina is known for its behavior and the fact that it can’t be controlled. It usually brings abnormal air pressure and warm waters to the Pacific Ocean. A new study found that La Nina rises the carbon export from ...
The worldwide “business as usual” approach to the ongoing problem of climate change has gotten our planet’s “vital signs” to reach record-breaking levels of deterioration, an influential team of scientists reported last Wednesday. They warned that we are about to ...
In a surprising development, scientists discovered a new liquid phase. The new state of matter has been discovered by examining the development of super dense glass. These types of glass have a variety of uses, including in OLED displays and ...
A new study highlights Earth’s current situation and is worse than we previously imagined. According to a team of scientists from NTU Singapore and Cambridge University, our planet experiences something quite peculiar yet shocking. The slow-motion collisions of tectonic plates ...
New space discovery leaves astronomers in awe, but it’s not the first of its kind. A new gamma-ray burst has been detected, and it’s considered the shortest ever found in association with a collapsar. Astronomers dubbed it GRB 200826A, and ...
When we hear about radio waves and other kinds of signals coming from space, the first thing that pops into the mind is that aliens are trying to “wave” at us. The exciting and funny thing is that we have ...
Scientists finally know how’s the nighttime weather on Venus thanks to a new technique! Our planetary neighbor is quite fascinating, but it can be a real challenge for scientists, especially when it comes to weather. We’ve known very little about ...
How much can the past inform the future? Can we figure out climate change better by analyzing bits of history? An international team of anthropologists, earth scientists, and geographers discusses a new approach called the archaeology of climate change. They ...
Clouds will increase global warming, and we can’t do pretty much anything about it, researchers warn us. New satellite data of Earth’s cloud cover unveils how clouds are very likely to amplify global heating. A team of scientists at Imperial ...
While most people know about the Pikachu character from the famous Pokemon animated show, much fewer folks are well aware that the cute yellow battling mouse has a homologous in real life. Known by the name of “plateau pika” or ...
The Hubble Space Telescope is now fixed thanks to a successful risky maneuver performed by NASA! The most powerful space telescope experienced a mysterious glitch for few weeks. The great news has just been announced along with a full report ...
A new study has recently shown that pieces of evidence of ancient life are present on Mars. The curiosity rover has made an interesting discovery while it was looking at a sedimentary rock rich in clay. It was found near ...
Moon’s orbit is changing — the natural phenomenon is called the Moon “wobble”. It goes hand in hand with the sea levels rising that is caused by climate change. This could lead to flooding on our planet in the coming ...
