Having saved millions of lives, antibiotics are one of the miracles of modern medicine. Sadly they are under threat as resistance in bacteria is spreading expeditiously around the planet. Some experts call it one of the biggest threats we currently face as humankind. Yet, we are doing neigh on nothing to stop it.
Scientists discovered an incredible little creature that survived for 24,000 years in permafrost
The giant Megalodon shark may have been even larger than we thought
Mice are capable of abstract thinking, just like humans
According to a new study from the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology, Mice possess the same cognitive abilities as humans. The research team developed and tested an innovative technique that allowed them to reveal that mice use abstract categorizing tactics to learn and process their environment, just like us.
Scientists can identify a city by its unique mix of viruses and bacteria
Why was the Sahara desert green in the past?
Researchers redefined the hottest and coldest places on Earth
Do we humans owe our large brains to starch?
Research implies Tyrannosaurs lived in social groups
The Tyrannosaurus-Rex is probably the most well-known of all dinosaurs. Almost every child remembers the twisted mix of emotions the first time they saw one on screen. The combination of fear and fascination that the T-Rex invoked, as they mindlessly rampaged and ate any creature they came across, seared this particular "terrible lizard" into our memories, and often, nightmares. However, a new study on a recent fossil discovery suggests this lonesome apex hunter of the cretaceous period was not the solitary predator we believed.
When will the first baby be born in space?
There are a bunch of big preliminary plans to colonize several celestial bodies within our solar system. Over the past few years, we've talked and hypothesized a lot about the material logistics of such operations.
But how far along are we with our journey to the stars? Also, a relatively underexposed topic on our website has been off-world human reproduction. Can anything be said about our prospects there?
