The kitchen can be a messy place in any home – some more than others, as anyone who’s lived in a student flat can attest to – but it turns out the humble microwave is home to far more microbes than you could possibly imagine. 
And, not only that, but the bacteria these devices are hoarding is resistant to radiation and multiplying by the second. 
A new study from a team from Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence SL in Paterna, Spain, published in journal Frontiers in Microbiology has found that hardy microbes able to adapt to extreme conditions and thrive in microwaves.

SCIENTISTS have dug a staggering 4,160ft into the Earth’s mantle – deeper than anyone has ever drilled before. Researchers are now studying a huge chunk of rock which they say might hold clues to the origins of life on Earth. On the groundbreaking expedition in the Atlantic Ocean, scientists only planned to dig 656ft down […]

In a feat of modern-day alchemy, scientists have used a beam of vaporized titanium to create one of the heaviest elements on Earth – and they think this new method could pave the way to even heftier horizons.



					
			

This is the first time the new technique – in which a hunk of the rare isotope titanium-50 is heated to almost 1650 °C (3000 °F) to release ions that are beamed at another element – has successfully produced a superheavy element, livermorium.
Livermorium was first synthesized back in 2000, and it's not the heaviest element humans have created (that would be oganesson, atomic...

Four years ago, back in 2020, a group of scientists at Cardiff University in the UK discovered phosphine in the clouds on Venus. This significant discovery, the researchers said, showed that a gas closely related to life on Earth existed on Earth’s twin still to this day, spurring theories that life on Venus might not be completely extinct just yet.
However, many scientists called back to those researchers and those theories, calling them crazy for even suggesting such a thing. And while it is always good to have a healthy amount of skepticism about things, those scientists didn’t give up. And...

An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

You’re reading this because something catastrophic terminated the more than 150-million-year reign of the dinosaurs. What opened the doors for mammals to dominate Earth was likely an extraterrestrial object; probably an asteroid. Where that asteroid came from has not been entirely clear. But new research might have gotten a giant step closer to solving this mystery. According to a study published Thursday in the journal Science, the rogue space rock probably came from far beyond Jupiter, and was likely laced with traces from the stars that existed before the Sun.

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
