Antarctic expedition uncovers iron-rich meteorites
A U.K. research team boldly went to where their counterparts from other countries had gone before: Antarctica, where they dug up iron-rich meteorites trapped beneath the ice for analysis back home. The expedition brought back 36 dark-colored space rocks. While their sizes vary, the biggest one is around the size of a melon. Meteorites record […]

Cosmic crash 12,800 years ago caused climatic changes, proving “climate change” can happen at any moment, far beyond our control
Nearly 13,000 years ago, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere got clobbered by a fragmenting comet. New evidence found by University of California Santa Barbara researchers suggested that the extreme impact event also affected the weather and ecology of the Southern Hemisphere. The Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) Impact Hypothesis proposed that the comet strike triggered climate changes and […]

Intestinal bacteria help regulate allergic responses: Researchers say certain microbes can prevent allergic reactions
The good bacteria living in the gut of humans play essential roles in keeping their hosts safe from food allergies. A recent international study showed that gut microbiota taken from human babies and given to mice protected the recipients from developing allergy to milk. The results of the animal experiment suggested that probiotic treatments may be able to stop the development of food allergies […]

Researchers examine a compound that can extend the lifespan of worms
Researchers identified a molecule that can prolong the lifespan of roundworms. The compound works by blocking an enzyme that plays a vital role in a cannabinoid pathway. The Scripps Research team also reported that the anti-aging biological pathway in the Caenorhabditis elegans roundworm is related to the cannabinoid pathways found in humans. “This study reveals a new life-extension pathway, but […]

Advanced new technology protects drinking water from algal toxins naturally
The water crisis that struck Toledo in 2014 spurred local researchers to look for ways to protect drinking water supplies from microcystin contamination. Using natural bacteria that live Lake Erie, they developed a biofilter that destroys the toxic contaminant produced by algal blooms. Supported by the University of Toledo (UT) and led by Dr. Jason Huntley, the study identified 13 different species of bacteria […]

Researchers discover that the spinal cord works with the brain to control complex motor functions
The spinal cord displays more capability than most people give it credit for. A new study reported that this structure directly controls complicated motor functions in the arm. The spinal cord runs down the length of the spine. It is a large and important part of the central nervous system. In humans, its neural circuits govern the pain reflex. In animals, the […]

Lifting weights can improve survival of lung cancer patients
Weightlifting is not just for making the body look more muscular. By increasing a person’s muscle mass, strength training prevents the onset of sarcopenia and makes it easier to treat lung cancer. Sarcopenia is a medical condition characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass. Also called muscle wasting, it is a natural part of the aging process. […]

Ancient rocks provide new clues on how volcanoes caused “biggest mass extinction” ever
Volcanoes could have caused the worst mass extinction on Earth. According to researchers from the University of Cincinnati (UC) and the China University of Geosciences (CUG), the most reliable evidence for this outcome comes from a recent mercury discovery buried in layers of ancient rock. The event, known as the Permian-Triassic (P-T) extinction, took place 252 million years ago and lasted […]

Hope for reef fish: Ocean currents bring food to fish populations in damaged coral reefs
Researchers have discovered that fish living in damaged coral reefs have an alternative source of sustenance aside from the reefs where they live. An Australian study recently found that ocean currents haul in considerable amounts of food to reef structures; enough to keep the remaining population fed. A healthy coral reef produces large amounts of nutrients. […]

Beneficial pests? Study shows that termites can alleviate the damage that droughts cause in tropical rainforests
Most termites don’t deserve the bad reputation meant for the few species that are actual pests. An international study found that the insects actually help preserve tropical rainforests during periods of drought. Termites thrive in tropical regions with plenty of cellulose-rich plants that they can digest. The “sheeting” structures they construct above ground let them travel through the rainforest in safety even during dry […]
