Betwi said most countries have improved their power grids, which will prevent long power outages like those that occurred in Sweden in 2003 or Canada in 1989. Still, he suggested that people should have an emergency kit in case there is a power outage for a day or two. Fresh water can also help if […]
“However, looking at living animals, we see that neuron count is actually not a good indicator of intelligence, although this may seem intuitive at first glance,” Kasper said. Dinosaurs, apart from their bird descendants, disappeared after an asteroid hit Earth 66 million years ago. Over two centuries of scientific study, dinosaurs are coming into better […]
“I think it's a missed opportunity to recognize and support a simple reality, that our planet has lost its natural functioning capacity in the middle of the 20th century,” Head, a professor of earth sciences at Canada's Brock University, told AFP. The situation was abandoned.” Environmental scientist Earle Ellis, a critic of the Anthropocene proposal, […]
Initially, the stunned bees tried to push only the red tab – without moving the blue tab first – and simply left. To motivate the bees, the researchers added a sweet substance at the end of this first stage, which was gradually removed as they mastered the process. The demonstrators were then paired with some […]
In the cold waters of the Antarctic, among floating ice floes, the hums, pitches and echoes of life in the depths are helping scientists understand the behavior and movements of marine mammals. “There are species that make impressive sounds, literally like in Star Wars, they sound like spaceships,” said Andrea Bonilla, a Colombian scientist who […]
Scientists observe chimpanzees using human-like fighting tactics
While climbing the slope of a sedimentary mountain in 2021, Curiosity found salt deposits forming a hexagonal pattern in the soil from about four billion years ago. According to the study published in the journal Nature, the rover’s instruments identified patterns in the form of cracks in the dry soil. “When the lake dries up […]
rewriting cetacean history The researchers were careful not to declare that the ancient whale had broken the record. But Eli Emson, co-author of the study, told AFP: “There was no reason to think that this specimen was the largest of its kind.” “I think there is a good chance that some individuals have broken the […]
Crucial to any response is a better understanding of bats, their behavior and their habitats, especially once an evolution approaches. Historically, development often meant clearing an area and getting rid of any obstacles that stood in the way. Scientists say efforts to eradicate bats often backfire. That’s what happened in 2007 after four miners in […]
The study did not draw any conclusions on the potential health effects of the proliferation in the environment of antibiotic-resistant bacteria — estimating that only five percent to 50 percent of the organisms may be alive and potentially active. But Rossi suggested the risk is likely to be low. “The environment is very stressful for […]
To trap the birds, the work in the field starts from early morning by putting a dozen fine nets. In the evening comes the turn of bats and owls. Once caught, samples of blood, fluid and ectoparasites – if they carry them – are taken. Scientists identify the animal, measure it, record the data, and […]
Arctic scientists race to preserve ‘ice memory’
“We now have a powerful new toolkit for detecting and measuring structural, and thus functional, differences in mitochondria – for example, diseased versus healthy states,” says senior author Daniel Grotjahn, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Integrative Structural Sciences. In.” and Computational Biology at Scripps Research. The study’s co-first authors were Grotzahn lab members […]
According to Bialik, the multi-polar and rapidly changing internal structure of the nebula makes it not easy to explain using existing models of how planetary nebulae form and evolve. The star at the center of the nebula, which is hidden by dust and debris, may have merged with a companion star or pulled material from […]
Anvesha Sarkar, Professor of Colloids and Surfaces at the School of Food Science and Nutrition in Leeds, said: “Lubrication science gives mechanistic insight into how food actually feels in the mouth. You can use that knowledge to improve taste, texture or design food. Can do to.Health facilities. “Whether a chocolate contains 5 percent fat or […]
