In small steps other researches in addition to those on Covid-19 continue their path.
Sure, many labs are closed, or are focusing their efforts on something else, but not all. Here is some short news on science and technology from around the planet.
The submerged ship in the submerged museum
Dominican Republic - The underwater museum in the Underwater National Park of La Caleta will keep in its place a ship that sank in 1725, complete with royal artifacts and kept underwater for exploration. It will be a bit like those terracotta vases placed in aquariums for fish to play. Submerged artifacts often degrade more quickly when removed from the sea.
There is a very long river under the ice
Greenland – New simulations indicate that a rocky valley detected beneath the island's ice sheet may contain a 1.600-mile-long underground river, flowing from central Greenland to the northern coast.
Other treasures from the Minoan civilization
Greece - Archaeologists have discovered gold, jewels and pearls in a large (already known) building on the now-uninhabited Minoan island of Chrysi, a place that about 3.500 years ago was dedicated to the production of the purple dye made from sea snails called truncated murex.
The only whole egg from the Roman era appears
England - Researchers have found 1.700-year-old chicken eggs, along with other ancient objects, in a damp ditch in southeast England. Some eggs broke during extraction, emitting a sulphurous smell, but one remained intact - it is the only complete egg found from Roman Britain.
A hotel for seahorses
Australia – To help boost Sydney Harbour's population of endangered seahorses, scientists have bred baby seahorses in an aquarium and built crab trap-like underwater "hotels" to protect them as they adapt to the wild.
The rover that will travel the surface of Europa has been tested
Antarctica – The last of the short news projects us into the spatial future that is currently suspended, but not interrupted. The scientists drove a wheeled semi-amphibious rover about a meter long. The rover streamed live views of the depths as it traveled along the underside of the Antarctic ice. The BRUIE, Floating Rover for Subglacial Exploration, could in the future explore the frozen seas on worlds like Europe, the moon of Jupiter.
