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….
