[ad_1] The record for deep-sea biology has been rewritten by a Japanese Research group. During a sampling of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, located in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, researchers from Hokkaido University sampled unusual leathery black cocoons attached to rock samples at a depth of 6200 meters.According to the Biology Letters report, the cocoons were 3 […]
[ad_1] Scientists have made an astonishing finding that brings us closer than ever to the concept of ‘Green Mars’, by discovering a desert moss species – Syntrichia caninervis – which may be able to act as a pioneer in colonising the Red Planet. A paper published in The Innovation (Cell Press) details the abilities of […]
[ad_1] Although the concept seems like something from science fiction, science is rapidly adopting it. Researchers have started creating ‘cyborg cockroaches,’ which are live insects equipped with tiny electronic ‘backpacks’ that allow them to navigate areas that are too small or hazardous for humans. The potential application of this discovery in pipeline inspection, where these […]
[ad_1] Palaeontologists have discovered an incredibly well-preserved fossil skeleton measuring only 1 centimetre long in the Ukhaa Tolgod area of the Gobi Desert. This fossil is believed to be one of the earliest examples of what are referred to as ‘micro-mammals’ from the Late Cretaceous time period. The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), which […]
[ad_1] For the first time, scientists have filmed high-speed video of a phenomenon where trees emit an electrical glow by generating sparks during thunderstorms. The results of a study published in Geophysical Research Letters show that the trees’ branches can emit faint blue light known as corona discharge, thanks to sensors and cameras deployed in […]
[ad_1] Humans are very eager to study the moon’s secrets, and so scientists from all around the world are trying their best to reach a site that can give them a perfect study to read unknown facts about the moon. The US and China moon race is on as their scientists are finding ways to […]
[ad_1] Meet the 4 Indian American $75,000 Winners Crowned 2026 Sloan Research Fellows In a celebration of scientific excellence and innovation, four Indian American researchers have been named 2026 Sloan Research Fellows, one of the most coveted early-career recognitions in science, mathematics and engineering. The annual Sloan Research Fellowship program, run by the Alfred P. […]
[ad_1] Psychrobacter SC65A.3 is a 5,000-year-old cold-adapted bacterium resistant to multiple modern antibiotics/ AI Illustration A team of Romanian researchers has identified a bacterium preserved for roughly 5,000 years inside an underground ice deposit that can already withstand multiple modern antibiotics. The organism, recovered from Scărișoara Ice Cave in north-west Romania, survived frozen conditions for […]
[ad_1] After decades of frozen diplomacy and political hostility, the United States and Cuba cautiously turned a page. Under US President Barack Obama, diplomatic ties were restored and the US Embassy in Havana reopened. On the Cuban side, the country was led by Raul Castro, who had taken over from his brother Fidel Castro. American […]
[ad_1] Milky Way galaxy (Source: NASA) For decades, the search for extraterrestrial life has revolved around a simple rule: follow the water. If a distant planet has liquid water, and perhaps oxygen, it is flagged as potentially habitable. But new research led by scientists at ETH Zurich suggests that this long-standing strategy may be incomplete. […]
