Neanderthals extracted fat from animal bones as a crucial survival strategy, potentially avoiding protein poisoning and maximizing calorie intake. This "fat factory" discovery shows advanced resource management earlier than previously thought.
Mathematicians create a monostable tetrahedron ("Bille") after Conway's challenge. This self-righting shape, using carbon-fiber and tungsten, could improve lunar lander design and solve balancing challenges.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening, creating a cold area south of Greenland. Scientists study its impact on climate and European weather patterns. AMOC's patterns of last century were tracked with temperature and salinity data.
Deep space poses health risks to humans. Future starships need innovative designs like Meissner bodies to simulate gravity and mitigate cellular damage. Understanding these challenges is crucial for long-term space ventures.
A 100-million-year-old amber fossil reveals a fungus-infected ant pupa, suggesting zombie fungi have been contaminating ants for twice as long as previously thought. Fungus infected insects.
Study finds winter jet stream waviness isn't increasing despite climate change's role in intensifying storms and causing extreme weather. Long-term data reveals natural variability.
A sports fisherman suffered a rare injury when a marlin's bill pierced his throat & spinal canal. CT scan revealed the object. Surgery successfully removed the bill. Case highlights unique cranial trauma.
Sea spiders near methane seeps farm unique microbes on their exoskeletons. These bacteria metabolize methane, providing energy to the spiders, showcasing a novel symbiotic relationship in extreme environments.
NASA & ISRO spacecraft captured orbital images of Japan's Resilience lunar lander after its hard landing. Debris is scattered across the moon's surface. Mission failed with loss of experiments.
The Eternaut, a fresh Argentinian sci-fi drama on Netflix, blends post-apocalyptic survival with political commentary and real-world violence, exploring themes of tyranny and anti-imperialism. Renewed for season 2!
HSV-1 targets specific genomic regions to enhance viral replication. An experimental cancer drug shows promise in blocking HSV-1 replication by targeting stolen transcription proteins. Could work against other viruses.
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) help astronomers account for all baryonic matter (normal matter) in the universe, resolving the "missing baryon problem." Intergalactic space holds much of this matter.
Urevo SpaceWalk E4W: A stylish, affordable walking treadmill with app connectivity. Excellent for walking under desk, compact design, quiet operation, and good value for money. Ideal for home use.
UK Met Office warns of increasing heatwave risk. Climate change raises likelihood of 40°C+ summers. Prepare for extreme heat, potential impacts on health and infrastructure.
Review of 12 non-drug treatments for knee osteoarthritis reveals knee braces and water-based exercise as effective for pain and stiffness. More high-quality evidence is needed to guide practice.
Research reveals forgotten memories leave engrams in the hippocampus, influencing behavior even without conscious recall. Brain activation patterns demonstrate subconscious memory impact.
Bivalves faced mass extinction, losing species but retaining diverse ecological roles. Post-extinction recovery saw unexpected shifts, with new species dominating. Human impact threatens future biodiversity, mirroring past upheavals.
