Deep-sea voyage uncovers a glowing shark and a ghostly porcelain crab
10+ mon, 4+ week ago (727+ words) In 2022, scientists involved in a deep-sea voyage on CSIRO’s research vessel RV Investigator explored the waters off Western Australia. What they found is a reminder that the ocean floor still holds countless secrets waiting to be uncovered. The team discovered…...
Which animal really came first? The debate may finally be settled
9+ mon, 3+ week ago (881+ words) A question has stirred up arguments in biology for years: which creature sits at the very base of the animal family tree? The choice seems simple. It is either the sponge, which has no muscles and no neurons, or the…...
How scientists are turning invasive crazy ants against themselves
9+ mon, 4+ week ago (954+ words) Tawny crazy ants have been causing major problems in the southern U.S. for years. From Florida to Texas, these invasive pests have overrun yards, homes, and ecosystems. The ants aren’t just annoying – they push out native species and throw entire environments…...
Scientists warn of a new biological risk and call for an international summit
8+ mon, 2+ day ago (838+ words) Thirty-eight researchers from around the world are urging caution over mirror life – a hypothetical form of biology built from mirror-image molecules that could behave unpredictably in natural systems. In response, a major biomedical research institute in Paris is convening an…...
Bird eyes have capabilities that should not be possible
7+ mon, 3+ week ago (729+ words) Bird eyes have puzzled scientists for centuries. One part of the mystery comes from a simple question. How can bird retinas stay alive without oxygen? A new study published in the journal Nature finally explains this strange ability. The research…...
Biodiversity Cell Atlas project is creating a map of every living thing, cell by cell
11+ mon, 1+ week ago (834+ words) Imagine trying to understand all of life on Earth by looking not just at whole organisms, but by zooming in to see every kind of cell they’re made of – like building a world atlas, but at the microscopic level. A…...
Antarctica is home to microbes found nowhere else on Earth
1+ week, 4+ day ago (759+ words) Antarctic soils harbor microbes found nowhere else on Earth, revealing a hidden world of life uniquely adapted to the continent’s extreme conditions. A new study has found that there are microbes in Antarctica’s soil that don’t exist anywhere else on…...
Culture is driving human evolution faster than our genes
11+ mon, 3+ week ago (646+ words) Evolution is often framed as a slow process encoded into our DNA. Yet some scientists argue we may be witnessing a shift of a different kind – one driven not by biology but by culture. This idea challenges traditional views of…...
Scientists 'reanimate' a worm that was frozen in Siberian permafrost for over 46,000 years
10+ mon, 3+ week ago (755+ words) In Siberian permafrost, scientists thawed ancient soil and saw tiny nematodes move. These animals “woke up” after an extremely long freeze and resumed life functions in the lab. Their revival raises clear scientific questions and practical ones. How long were…...
New life forms found in the human body described by scientists as 'insane"
10+ mon, 2+ week ago (985+ words) Humans carry around a busy community of microbes that help run daily life. This microbiome breaks down food, trains the immune system, and competes with germs. Scientists just spotted something unexpected inside those communities: tiny circular RNAs that don’t match…...
