123-million-year-old pollen grains discovered in Portugal push back the origin of flowers by 2 million years. Darwin was right.
Do You Know Intraterrestrials? The Weirdest Aliens Are Below Us
Intraterrestrials, organisms that live deep within the Earth, defy all knowledge of life. They breathe rock, live for millennia, and are more alien than any creature imagined in space.
Sustainable agriculture could feed 16 times the world's population
Sustainable agriculture could feed 136 billion people by replacing photosynthesis with a chemical process powered by solar panels. More food, less land.
Phlegraean Fields, Stanford Confirms: Seismic Risk Can Be Managed
Managing water runoff or lowering groundwater levels: the response to seismic risk in Campi Flegrei could be surprisingly simple, according to a new study.
The Origin of Human Consciousness: Neither Here nor There, but Close
Two theories about the origins of consciousness put to rigorous tests: neither wins, but both offer valuable clues for future research.
Goodbye animal skin, your next bag will be made of T-Rex leather
From fossil collagen to luxury handbag: dinosaur skin becomes reality thanks to a process that reconstructs T-Rex DNA in the lab.
Killer whales try to imitate us to communicate with us
With brains 3,5 times larger than ours and a more complex cerebral cortex, killer whales are learning to mimic human speech to talk to us.
Microtunnels under Africa are the work of unknown life
Tiny tunnels discovered in desert marble could reveal previously unknown life forms that have silently shaped Earth’s geological history.
A “Dance Mistake” Between Matter and Antimatter Explains the Existence
A tiny imperfection in the balance between matter and antimatter could explain why we exist. CERN has just found this asymmetry in beauty-lambda baryons.
Boiled Bones in Desserts? A Gum Will Eliminate Animal Gelatin
Goodbye to traditional gelatin: the sap of legumes offers an alternative that will replicate sweets, candies and packaging. The challenge is launched.
Our cells are billions of times faster than AI
Schrödinger had intuited it 80 years ago: quantum effects drive biological systems. Today, a physicist at Howard University has discovered that cells process information billions of times faster thanks to the phenomenon of superradiance.
Ferrimagnet: 'Half Ice, Half Fire' State of Matter Discovered
Revolutionary physics: Brookhaven Lab researchers discover new "half-ice, half-fire" phase with ordered and disordered electron spins in ferrimagnets. This state of matter could revolutionize refrigeration and quantum computing.
Campi Flegrei, Stanford: bradyseism, it's not magma, but water
Bradyseism in Campi Flegrei: geophysicist Tiziana Vanorio proposes to drain the wells of San Vito to reduce geothermal pressure. According to the Stanford scientist, the phenomenon is caused by overheated meteoric waters, not by magma rising.
Micro-lightning between water drops: the spark that ignited life?
Waterfalls May Have Created Life: Stanford Researchers Find Microlightning Between Misty Water Droplets Generates Key Organic Molecules. A More Plausible Alternative to Traditional Lightning.
Since when have we been speaking? Linguistics reveals: sooner than expected
An MIT genomic study reveals that human linguistic ability existed 135.000 years ago, before groups of Homo sapiens diverged geographically.
