A group of academics has identified a planet that could potentially support life. They’re describing Gliese 12 b as a planet within the habitable zone of its own solar system. The planet orbits a red dwarf star 40 light years away from the Earth in the Pisces constellation. University College of London scientist Larissa Palethorpe […]
Researchers from a North Carolina college believe that a long-lost branch of the Nile was once the thoroughfare that connected multiple sites where ancient Egyptian pyramids were built. The research team from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington said that through satellite imaging, geophysical surveys and analysis of soil, they found where, thousands of […]
Scientists are exploring groundbreaking methods to ensure the well-being of future lunar explorers. Researchers from the University of Milan have proposed an exercise regimen for inhabitants of a potential moon base to combat the adverse effects of prolonged low-gravity environments. Their recommendation? A daily jog around a “Wall of Death” — a concept traditionally associated […]
The story of the Ulas family first gained international attention following a documentary titled “The Family That Walks On All Fours,” alongside a detailed medical paper by Turkish scientists. The family’s unique condition, observed in six of the 18 children, was initially thought to signal a potential reversal in the evolutionary process, a theory that […]
In a groundbreaking discovery in the arid deserts of northern Saudi Arabia, archaeologists have unearthed evidence that human beings once lived within cave-like lava tubes, marking the first instance such evidence has been found. The natural underground passages, formed during volcanic eruptions, have unveiled secrets dating back thousands of years. Lava tubes are created when […]
Say hello to your little friend, even if your friend happens to be a bee or a wasp.

But the projected “path of totality” has shifted enough that some people who were expecting to see the full monty without leaving their homes may be disappointed. “A new eclipse map — based on an updated figure for […]
Researchers have pinpointed iron deficiencies as a key factor in prolonged recovery from COVID-19, commonly referred to as long COVID. A study by the University of Cambridge, recently published in Nature Immunology, uncovered the significant role of depleted iron levels in post-COVID symptoms. Findings suggest that low iron not only exacerbates inflammation and anemia but […]
A pair of Chinese scientists who worked in a Canadian biological laboratory were marched out of the lab in 2019 and fired in 2021.

Scientists at an Israeli university have achieved a significant milestone that could pave the way for new treatments for male infertility, a condition that affects approximately one in 12 men globally. The research team at Bar-Ilan University successfully grew tiny testicle organoids, which are artificial, miniature organs that can simulate the function and structure of […]
