Gravitational lensing suggests the universe may be younger by 2 billion years
A recent study published in the journal Science suggests that the universe may be two billion years younger than scientists originally thought. An international team of researchers used a concept called gravitational lensing and found that the Hubble constant, the unit of measurement used to describe the expansion of the universe and estimate its age, is much higher than […]

Green scream: Plants emit “ultrasonic squeals” when stressed by drought or physical damage
Plants let out “ultrasonic squeals” when they are damaged or stressed by drought. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel discovered this after placing microphones near tomato and tobacco plants. Thanks to the microphones, the researchers were able to detect distinct sounds emanating from the plants. The sounds are too high-frequency for humans to hear, but other plants and some animals may be able to perceive […]

Vesuvius eruption wiped out people of Pompeii because it lasted longer than 15 minutes, study finds
A new study suggests that the eruption of Mount Vesuvius two millennia ago may have killed the inhabitants of the ancient city of Pompeii because it lasted longer than 15 minutes. The majority of the victims died of asphyxiation, or suffocation, caused by a giant cloud of ash and toxic gases. In a study published in the […]

Study shows how plants time their flowering in the spring
A new study published in the journal Genes & Development found that a key molecule in flowering plants becomes very active in response to the first frost of autumn. Called “COOLAIR,” the molecule prepares plants for flowering in spring by suppressing a gene called FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC), which inhibits flowering. Exploring the molecular process behind vernalization Vernalization is the initiation of […]

Researchers use laser to “superfreeze” antimatter, the mysterious mirror version of “ordinary” matter
Researchers from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) successfully used laser to cool antimatter to near absolute zero. The chilled antimatter reached temperatures just one-twentieth of a degree above absolute zero (minus 459.67 F), which was more than 3,000 times cooler than the coldest recorded temperature in the Antarctic. The laser-cooling technique, which the researchers developed as part […]

From light to liquid fuel: Experts use sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to turn carbon dioxide into methanol
A team led by Argonne National Laboratory researchers has found a new way to convert carbon dioxide into methanol, an alcohol commonly used as an alternative fuel. In a paper published in the journal Nature Energy, the researchers described how they used sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to trigger carbon dioxide conversion. Using photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide to fuel […]

Scientists explore lava tubes in Hawaii to prepare for Mars and moon exploration
Researchers are plumbing the depths of Mauna Loa in Hawaii to study the volcano’s lava tubes. The researchers wear bulky suits like those required for space exploration while navigating volcanic terrain and conducting research. Besides studying the environment and organisms living there, the team’s goal is to prepare for the unique challenges of living in space, particularly on Mars and the […]

Newly discovered wasp species can turn its prey into zombies
Researchers have discovered 15 previously unknown species of wasps that can turn their prey into zombies. The newfound species lay their eggs in their hosts like others in the genus Acrotaphus. After an egg hatches, the larva takes over the body of its prey and manipulates its behavior. “The Acrotaphus wasps we studied are very interesting as they are able […]

Study: Tropical trees with thick leaves adapt well to high levels of carbon dioxide (because plants love CO2)
A team led by University of Washington (UW) researchers found that tropical plants with thick leaves respond very well to high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In a study published in the journal Global Geobiochemical Cycles, the researchers detailed how multiple changes in the plants’ leaves preserve the ability of tropical forests to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Plants […]

Researchers discover what may be the largest land drawings ever made
French researchers have discovered a network of land drawings in India’s Thar Desert that they claim is the largest artifact of its kind worldwide. The network contains drawings that include four spiral patterns etched into a 20-hectare area of land near the village of Boha. Carlo and Yohann Oetheimer, a father-and-son independent research duo from France, discovered the artifacts after examining Google […]
