Large reservoirs of “fire ice” beneath the ocean can potentially trigger devastating disasters if released
Locked deep beneath our oceans, according to scientists, are deposits of frozen methane. Dubbed “fire ice,” these deposits, once released, can trigger large-scale natural catastrophes such as tsunamis and landslides – and scientists and experts currently have no idea how much of these fire ice deposits exist. According to Ann Cook, an associate professor in […]

Researchers “shed light” on plants’ circadian clocks: Findings could be used to improve future crops
Every person has a circadian clock, an invisible internal mechanism synchronized with solar time. This “clock,” according to the National Sleep Foundation, drives a person’s circadian rhythm, which regulates daily sleep-wake cycles. As it turns out, even plants have one, too. First discovered in 1729 by French geophysicist and chronobiologist Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan after […]

Great Barrier Reef on brink of 3rd major coral bleaching in 5 years, scientists warn
Scientists and conservationists make an alarming statement: Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is on the brink of another major coral bleaching. As per official records, this will be the third bleaching event happening in the reef system within the last five years. “Bleaching” is a phenomenon wherein coral polyps expel the zooxanthellae or algae living inside […]

The human brain is constantly starving for information: What happens when the brain gorges on useless data?
Just like how it gets easily addicted to junk food and its empty nutrients, the human brain can also get addicted to empty information, say researchers from the University of California (UC), Berkeley. The study, published in the journal PNAS, revealed how the brain becomes addicted to empty information — a phenomenon people could be creating themselves […]

Researchers discover gut bacteria that can render some drugs ineffective
If you’ve ever wondered why your body reacts differently despite being given the same medication as other people, the bacteria living in your gut may be to blame. In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers from Yale University found that gut microbiome – the colony of microorganisms that live inside the human gastrointestinal tract – can metabolize over 150 […]

Worst extinction since the dinosaurs: Total biomass of flying insects down by a staggering 76%, warn German researchers
We are in the middle of an extinction phase. The animals in danger of extermination? Flying insects. This is according to entomology enthusiast Martin Sorg, president of the Amateur Entomology Society of Krefeld, who, over the last 37 years, collected 80 million insects from the German countryside. And while the Society’s collection is considered a […]

Researchers develop a nano-scale hydrogel that can help address rheumatoid arthritis
As they say, too much of a good thing can be bad. Case in point? The body’s natural nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role by helping prevent high blood pressure and plaque build-up in the arteries. However, when endogenous NO is overproduced by the body — as is the case in some physiological […]

Astronomers discover and decode strange signals from a 3-body star system
Did you know that there has been an object in the Milky Way 500 light-years away that “blinks” at us daily? Now, astronomers have figured out the reason for this unusual signal. Called NGTS-7, this celestial object is part of binary system NGTS-7ABM, and appears to most telescopes as a single star. In 2019 however, […]

Scientists dig up perfectly preserved 42,000-year-old horse – with blood and internal organs intact
Is the world ready to enter the gates of a real-life Jurassic – or in this case, Cenozoic – Park? An international team of scientists seems to think so. The idea stems from an announcement made by scientists working deep in the frozen Siberian tundra concerning the successful extraction of liquid blood from the frozen carcass of […]

Seashell-inspired shatterproof glass: Researchers engineer strong composite glass based on mother of pearl that can resist impact
Despite their delicate appearance, seashells are surprisingly durable. This unexpected durability comes from the tough, impact-resistant substance known as nacre, also known as mother of pearl. Nacre is an organic-inorganic composite material that also gives seashells their signature iridescence. It is made up of microscopic calcium carbonate tablets mortared together by proteins. Arranged like bricks, […]
