As the global population grows, it becomes essential to find efficient techniques in agriculture to keep up with the increasing demand for food. Russian scientists are trying to improve vertical farming technology to increase food security.

Scientists determined that the so-called Bdelloid rotifer is capable of surviving frozen conditions for at least 24,000 years.

According to one of the researchers, the teams' detailed knowledge goes so far that they would be able to tell you from which city you came from with 90% accuracy by just giving them your shoe for analysis.

Scientists learned how plants could have once covered the entire Sahara desert.

A group of researchers took a look at Earth's hot and cold spots using satellite data. They uncovered that Death Valley isn’t the hottest place on Earth after all.

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.

Researchers discovered that bacteria, like most organisms on earth, have a circadian rhythm. This new understanding may have a significant impact on scientific research into drug delivery and biotech.

A group of researchers led by the University of California Museum of Paleontology director, Charles Marshall, asked themselves how many tyrannosaurus rexes ever wandered the earth.

When we think about protecting our environment, we often think of what lives above the land; we think of the trees, the wildlife on our moorlands, and removing plastic from our oceans. But we need to start looking further down, to what truly lies beneath our feet and beyond what our eyes can see; we need to look to what inhabits our soils.
