The study highlights the importance of reassessing the threat of medium-sized asteroids, as it likely that similar touchdown events will produce similar particles. Such an event would be entirely destructive over a large area, corresponding to the ar
The result of the multidisciplinary study, which involved a team of linguists and geneticists, reveals in the journal Current Biology that the cultural barrier of the language promoted the isolation of the Basque population from subsequent population
This would also mean that there would need to be an antiaging funding boom in the next 0-5 years triggered by the first moderately effective antiaging treatments. The broad antiaging scientific community would need to be confident in saying publicly
What he was opposing was the germ theory of disease which was a transformation from the ancient idea that disease was caused by an evil spirit now transformed into a virus or germ. In the preface to Doctor's Dilemma he made it plain he regarded co
There were a lot of disruptions at one time that led to this collapse, and the system now persists in this altered state," said first author Meredith McPherson, a graduate student in ocean science at UC Santa Cruz. "It's a naturally dynamic system
In fact, there's a bunch of studies comparing outdoor workers to indoor workers, showing that outdoor workers have lower rates of melanoma despite three to nine times more sun exposure." One of the reasons for this is because indoor workers ar
Zhao and her team found that samples taken from the center of the ring had higher concentrations of sulfides and less access to nitrogen?"and both conditions limit plant growth. The fairy circles' varying shapes correlated with where nutrients and
Researchers discover a new state of active matter.
Funded by Tesla's CEO, XPrize Carbon Removal is a $100 million competition to find solutions that can pull carbon dioxide directly from our atmosphere or oceans.
Cygnus X-1 is one of the closest black holes to Earth. It was discovered in 1964 when a pair of Geiger counters were carried on board a sub-orbital rocket launched from New Mexico.Published today in the journal Science, the research shows the system
Scientists have been studying algae for their potential as a source of fuel, but many others are also starting to explore algae's immense potential in biotechnology.
Concrete is one of the world's most commonly used materials, and unfortunately its production is a major source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Despite its vast potential for alleviating human suffering, turmeric will likely never receive the FDA stamp of approval, due to its lack of exclusivity, patentability and therefore profitability. Truth be told, the FDA's "gold standard" for provi
But a team based at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM in Dresden have come up with an interesting new way to store and carry hydrogen energy, in the form of a magnesium hydride-based "Powerpaste" that
A year later, the debate about 'Oumuamua intensified when one of the world's foremost astronomers, Avi Loeb, submitted a paper to the Astrophysical Journal Letters. In it, Loeb and his colleague, Shmuel Bailey, argued that 'Oumuamua's stran
The burden of doing so is quite heavy, though, manifesting as stress, anxiety, depression, self-abuse or the abuse of nature, conflict big and small, anger, disease, uneasiness, unhappiness, and most insidious of all, fear. In short, absorbing the wo
Mark Ryan, a marketing manager for the Shepherd Color Company, a pigment manufacturing business that obtained a license to sell YInMn in 2016, tells Artnet News that "[t]he art world likes it because of the color." Industrial companies, meanwh
Recent studies uncovered the mechanism behind that feat. The original mixture contains volcanic ash, and when salt water gets inside it dissolves that ash, creating a mineral called aluminous tobermorite. These crystals actually make the concrete str
The team was working with tungsten ditelluride, which behaves like a metal in bulk but becomes an insulator when it's shaved down into a two-dimensional form like graphene. While measuring the resistivity of the monolayer material under a magnetic

At the time, the company was looking into a method of enticing the fish to enter the setup voluntarily. That feature is now a standard part of the new-and-improved Whooshh Passage Portal.
"We have found the dire wolf is not closely related to the gray wolf. Further, we've shown that the dire wolf never interbred with the gray wolf," said co-lead author Alice Mouton, who conducted the research as a UCLA postdoctoral scholar in ecolo
Ceres boasts more water than any world in the inner solar system other than Earth. That was a major reason why NASA sent the Dawn probe to Ceres, where it entered orbit in 2015. But many expected that even if it once had an ocean, any liquid would no
Solomon's wisdom, though, only applied to matters external to himself. His own life "was a shambles of bad decisions and uncontrolled passions," wrote Wray Herbert in The Association for Psychological Science. "He kept hundreds of pagan wives
This controversial proposal stems from efforts by Hedges and collaborators to build the world's most comprehensive tree of life - a chart plotting the connections among 50,000 species of Earth's vast menagerie. Their analysis suggests that spec
The first retractable proto-lightsaber was created by Hacksmith Industries (Canada), in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, on 8 September 2020.
The biggest failure of our government health agencies right now is the Black Hole of Medicine ?" the astronomical event horizon beyond which cheap safe drugs disappear without a trace. 3,000 people are dying every day in the USA and 5,000 a day
You can see the pattern. In fact we learn to apply our cognition to manage the impulses arising from our Vagus nervous system. Failure to do so is observable and may well indicate mental issues. Anger management is learning to use cognition to c

Cornered by a dangerous predator, a gecko can self-amputate its still twitching tail, creating a fleeting moment of distraction - a chance for the lizard to flee with its life.
