The researchers detected a weak emission of light associated with cellular activity in the mice, which disappeared completely after death.
Following the analysis of the genome of roundworms taken from the ice in Siberia, a group of scientists made a surprising discovery.
The wildlife of China’s Greater Bay Area is suffering the negative effects of heavy marine vessel traffic, and scientists are pushing for dedicated conservation efforts.
Amber deposits found in ancient deep-sea sediments could represent one of the oldest records of a tsunami to date, according to research published in Scientific Reports.
Future nutrition: Alternative milk, vegan burgers and insect bread – protein revolution out the lab?
In light of increasing environmental problems, extreme weather, and pollution, scientists are searching for alternative food and cultivation methods. In addition to vertical farming and vegan burger patties, research is also being conducted into more exotic solutions.
Two new studies highlight the role of trees in city environments, not only for our health but for promoting climate resilience.
MIT tech breakthrough could shrink night-vision goggles to the size of ordinary glasses.
The Earth rotates more slowly, increasing the amount of oxygen we breathe daily. A study has proven this process in the history of our planet. At one point on Earth, 1.4 billion years ago, days lasted about 18 hours.
Underwater robotics and AI will help monitor marine ecosystems for early signs of change to protect the oceans and the climate.
Biological particles, such as pollen, bacteria, spores, and plant matter floating in the air, are particularly effective at promoting the formation of ice in clouds, which in turn induces more intense precipitation and must be taken into account in numerical prediction models.
A new look at nervous laughter suggests it’s more than just awkward behavior. It may actually be the brain’s way of regulating overwhelming emotions. Researchers say this strange reaction serves a meaningful purpose.More information: How digital devices shape childhood brain development—what parents need to know
