High up on the Tibetan Plateau, inside the Baishiya Karst Cave, unfolds a fascinating ancient human survival story. A recent study reveals that the Denisovans, an extinct human species, called this place home for countless millennia. Other than their notable genetic contributions to modern humans, very little is known about...

 The reason we seem to be alone in the universe might be right beneath your feet, scientists have suggested.For years, scientists have been perplexed by the fact that we have not found any other kind of alien civilisation.That is despite the fact that the Drake equation suggests there should be many civilisations near enough and capable enough to get in contact with us. The equation – originally posited by Frank Drake – attempts to estimate the chances of coming into contact with intelligent life, and suggests that the chance of that should be high.But the new study suggests that it might...

 There has never been a live sighting recorded of the spade-toothed whale. No one knows how many there are, what they eat, or even where they live in the vast expanse of the southern Pacific Ocean. Scientists in New Zealand may have finally caught a break in the search for details on the world’s rarest whale.The country's conservation agency said a creature that washed up on a South Island beach is believed to be a spade-toothed whale. The five-meter-long creature, a type of beaked whale, was identified after it washed ashore on Otago beach from its color patterns and...

Researchers say they've used cutting-edge gravitational wave research to shed new light on a nearly 2,000-year-old mystery. In 1901, researchers discovered what's now known as the Antikythera mechanism in a sunken shipwreck, an ancient artifact that dates back to the second century BC, making it the world's "oldest computer." There's...

Researchers Make Breakthrough in Study of Mysterious 2000-Year-Old Computer Found in Shipwreck

KAUST’s NanoRanger provides quick, precise diagnosis of Mendelian genetic disorders, identifying critical genetic breakpoints efficiently. Despite rapid advances in genetic testing in recent decades, more than half of people worldwide with suspected Mendelian genetic disorders do not have an accurate molecular diagnosis. Others endure more than six years of tests before a diagnosis is given. Now, KAUST researchers and scientists across Saudi Arabia have developed NanoRanger, an accurate and rapid method for genetically diagnosing such diseases in a few hours.

A new study published this month has highlighted the growing dangers of changes in ocean currents. According to this new research, weaker circulation in the ocean currents could actually enhance the amount of buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere, speeding up the destruction of the planet by increasing global temperatures.
The changes in the ocean’s overturning circulation are also tied to climate change advances—so it’s kind of like a circle of life type of thing. The slowdown, scientists predict, could mean less pull down of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by the ocean. However, they also predicted that it could mean...

Microorganisms reveal how our single-celled predecessors incorporated viral DNA into their own genomes. Researchers have discovered remnants of ancient giant viruses in the genome of Amoebidium, a single-celled organism, suggesting that such viral sequences may have played a role in the evolution of complex life forms. This study highlights the dynamic relationship between viruses and their hosts, also reflecting on human genetics.

Conflicts are inevitable in life as we have different opinions. Some zodiac signs are good at arguing while others strive to create harmony and avoid arguments. Yet, conflict resolution is a crucial skill at home and work. It helps people live peacefully and in unity.

5 Zodiac Signs Who Are Most Likely to Win Arguments

The secret to life on Earth could be deeper than we thought.

Scientists have discovered that metal nodules on the ocean floor are producing oxygen in total darkness without any aid from living organisms, which could upend our understanding of the origin of life. 

This eye-opening revelation was revealed in a groundbreaking study in the journal Nature Geoscience.

“I think we need to revisit questions like: where could aerobic life (life that requires oxygen) have begun?” the study’s lead author Andrew Sweetman, professor of seafloor ecology at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban, UK, said in a statement.

There are eight planets in our solar system – plus poor old Pluto, which was demoted in 2006 – but what if there were more?Turns out that might be the case. Astronomers have calculated there is a 7 per cent chance that Earth has another neighbour hiding in the Oort cloud, a spherical region of ice chunks and rocks that is tens of thousands of times farther from the sun than we are.“It’s completely plausible for our solar system to have captured such an Oort cloud planet,” said Nathan Kaib, a co-author on the work and an astronomer at the...

Sunlight-photosynthesizing organisms like plants and algae have long been believed to be the Earth's original producers of oxygen. But now, researchers have found evidence of a natural O2 factory that needs neither the Sun nor the lifeforms that harness its power. The source is a chemical reaction taking place in rocks lying on the lightless seafloor thousands of feet beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, releasing what the researchers have dubbed "dark oxygen."

I don’t know about you but summer is definitely my favorite season and I am definitely a sun worshipper. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we do not see enough of it so when it is here, that is where you will find me. Everything I do I do outside when the sun is out and the weather is warm. I wonder who else feels this way. I wonder what Zodiac Signs love the Sunshine. Want to find out? Let’s do a little research.
