Scientists at Newcastle University have developed a new “super” biofilm using a key component from Earth’s stratosphere. By using Bacillus stratosphericu, bacteria normally found 20…
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope helped astronomers analyze the previously discovered world GJ1214b and helped them prove that it is a waterworld enshrouded by a thick,…
A team of engineers at Drexel University have developed a “green” version of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). By using a form of alkali-activated cement that…
A team of scientists claims that they’ve revived a plant from the Pleistocene era, which lived 32,000 to 28,000 years ago. Silene stenophylla was revived…
In a recent study, radium was measured in untreated source water in wells from aquifers that are used for public and domestic water supply. This…
A new study, using high-speed photography, shows that squids can save energy by flying rather than swimming. Some species of Cephalopoda can launch themselves into…
Criminologists from the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in Freiburg set out to see if there is such a thing as…
Paleoecologists have reconstructed a Permian-era swampy forest, filled with long-extinct plant species, thanks to analyses of well-preserved fossils entombed in a layer of volcanic ash…
Researchers recently examined the new high-resolution images from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft and found that “recent” geologic activity has occurred on the moon….
Physicists at Purdue University and the University of New South Wales have constructed a transistor from single atom of phosphorus placed precisely on a bed…
Researchers at the National Physical Laboratory are one step closer to changing the international definition of the kilogram. By using technology produced by the NPL,…
Out of the 750,000 different species of insects covering Earth, there are about 14,000 that feed on blood, getting their sustenance by puncturing the skin…
Researchers at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Center for Cell Control at UCLA’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied…
Last week, school administrators at the LeRoy Central School District in northwestern New York state approved a plan that will allow further testing at the…
The sounds that animals make are determined by their genes, but a new study published in the journal Animal Behaviour shows that pygmy goats (Capra…
Syncytin is a gene that was found in the human genome, but is bears all of the hallmarks of originating from a virus. Back in…
The Crab Nebula (NGC 1952) is easily visible through small telescopes, which has allowed astronomers to observe its growth and evolution, ever since its birth…
