Modern space exploration mostly relies on shipments from Earth, but these rarely include fresh fruits or vegetables. Having reliable sources of fresh food—rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fibre—could help keep astronauts healthy on long missions.
Ever wonder why you still feel tired, irritable, or unable to concentrate, even after a full night’s sleep? Studies suggest the culprit could be your night-time exposure to artificial light—from smartphones, tablets, computers, and LED lights.
For a long time, scientists believed this was how fish rested. Surprisingly, research reveals that this seemingly effortless behaviour actually uses almost twice as much energy as genuine rest.
What changed Mars from a potentially habitable world into the barren planet we see today? Scientists at the University of Chicago have taken a significant step toward understanding this mystery.
Chemists at University College London (UCL) have found a way to show how two of life’s essential ingredients—RNA and amino acids—might have come together nearly four billion years ago.
For a long time, scientists believed this was how fish rested. Surprisingly, research reveals that this seemingly effortless behaviour actually uses almost twice as much energy as genuine rest.
Have you ever wondered how animals adapt to urban life, with its traffic jams and busy streets? A fascinating observation by researcher Dr. Vladimir Dinets sheds light on how some birds might not only survive but cleverly take advantage of human activities—particularly traffic.
A team of scientists has developed a new method to create carbon-negative materials using seawater, electricity, and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This new process not only locks away CO₂ in solid form but also yields hydrogen gas, a useful clean fuel.
You may have noticed fewer butterflies in your backyard. Researchers now have data confirming that they are disappearing across the United States at an alarming rate.
Scientists have discovered that mountain ranges, where deep mantle rocks are exposed, may hold significant natural hydrogen resources, potentially offering a new route to cleaner energy.
Bio-based materials intended to replace traditional plastics might actually pose a greater health risk to some of the planet's most crucial species than plastics themselves.
New research by the universities of Exeter and Oxford suggests that concentrating on just one objective when restoring forests can be a potential pitfall. In this article we will briefly go over why that is the case.
Have you ever wondered if there's a way to make plastic disappear after it's no longer needed? Researchers at the University of California San Diego might have found an answer.
Researchers from the UK have recently pieced together clues from fossil fragments that point to a potentially enormous discovery—a new species of marine reptile that could have been one of the largest ever.
Scientists forecast severe climate change impacts on Canada and Alaska's boreal forests and tundra by 2500, stressing the need for global cooperation and long-term planning
A study from the University of Colorado Boulder indicates that the Arctic might start experiencing summers almost completely without sea ice in just a few years
Discover the evolutionary link between feathered dinosaurs and modern birds, exploring how proto-wings in ancient creatures like Caudipteryx set the stage for the flight of today's birds
