No rest for weary doctors watching coronavirus variants.
Most organs in the adult human body are capable of regeneration, which means they renew their cells to keep the tissue healthy and functional. This capacity is enabled by adult stem cells, which are present in most organs and divide to create new cells that replace older, damaged ones. It turns out these stem cells […]
Donations (especially massive ones like this one) are very helpful during difficult times.
Still, a warning label will be added to the vaccine
Turns out, watching plants grow is actually quite interesting.
It's time for the barbaric practice to come to an end.
Maybe just... stop doing it?

Not being tectonically active has its drawbacks.
It's time to start reading more and work on your imagination.
If you like volcanoes, Earth isn’t a bad place to live on. After all, our planet is quite geologically active, and that also translates into a respectable level of volcanism. But when it comes to having a variety of flavors, the Earth can be a bit lacking. A new paper, however, comes to estimate what […]
The two mathematicians are true pioneers in their fields.
Researchers find million-year-old plants in frozen ice core.

It's similar to how these clouds form on Earth only on a massive scale.
Using the Hubble Space Telescope astronomers have spotted GJ 1132 b, an extraordinary exoplanet where volcanic activity 'grew' an atmosphere.
I spy with my robot eye.
It was already a big problem before the Covid-19 pandemic, but plastic waste is now turning into an even larger issue – and face masks, in particular, are not helping the cause. We need them to avoid the spread of the virus but at the same time, there’s no official guidance on how to dispose […]
The world's biodiversity was suffering before. Now, it's worse.
Glass frogs are famous for their see-through skin that can even reveal the amphibians’ internal organs. Surprisingly, not too much attention has been given to this fascinating translucency — until now. An international team of researchers used a combination of field trials and computer-aided modeling and detection to analyze the glass frog’s translucent skin in […]
A backup plan in case we screw up this planet for good.
The consensus is that all Bronze Age societies in Europe were patriarchal -- maybe not this one.
This is nothing to chirp or warble about.
In less than a century, it could become too hot and humid to live there.
It's so ancient it could help us understand the building blocks of planets.
