Arabian cattle cult built ancient monuments over 2,500 years before Stonehenge, study suggests
The Arabian Peninsula is home to more than 1,000 ancient monuments that are more than 2,500 years older than the U.K.’s Stonehenge. Called “mustatils,” which is the Arabian term for “rectangles,” these rectangular stone structures were likely used by Arabian cattle herders to perform rituals. Researchers from the University of Western Australia arrived at this conclusion after excavating the site […]

Pottery shards reveal evidence of ancient honey hunting in West Africa 3,500 years ago
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications uncovered the first evidence of ancient honey hunting in West Africa. Researchers from Goethe University in Germany and the University of Bristol found traces of beeswax in pottery shards from the ancient Nok culture, which emerged some 3,500 years ago in what is now Nigeria. “This is a remarkable example of how […]

Ancient potsherd inscription may be the missing link in the alphabet’s history, researchers suggest
An inscription written on an ancient jar fragment may fill a significant gap in the history of the alphabet, according to a study published April 15 in the journal Antiquity. Discovered in 2018 at a dig site in Tel Lachish, Israel, the fragment dates back to around 3,450 years ago and contains letters used by people in the Levant, an […]

Mars may harbor alien life beneath its surface, study suggests
A new study published in the journal Astrobiology suggests that the subsurface of Mars may be habitable. In the study, researchers explain that the same chemical reactions supporting microbial life deep beneath the Earth’s surface can occur in the Martian underground. An important component for those reactions is water, and past studies suggest that Mars may be hosting groundwater. “The […]

Inspired by spiders and fire ants, researchers develop a new unsinkable metal
Researchers from the University of Rochester have developed an extremely buoyant metal that can be used to make unsinkable ships. The researchers have drawn inspiration from fire ants and diving bell spiders, which have the remarkable ability to remain afloat or survive underwater for long periods of time. These creepy-crawlies are able to do this by trapping […]

Noah’s ark in space: Researchers propose building a “gene bank” on the MOON in case life on Earth goes extinct
Researchers propose building a gene bank on the moon that would house the seeds of 6.7 million species on Earth. Similar to Noah’s Ark, the gene bank would serve as a “modern insurance policy” that would ensure the survival of terrestrial life should an extinction-level event happen. “Earth is naturally a volatile environment,” said Jekan Thanga, a professor of aerospace and mechanical […]

Over 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust from comets and asteroids bombard Earth every year – study
In a study published on April 15 in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, an international team of researchers found that more than 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust fall on the planet every year. Tiny meteors in the form of interplanetary dust bombard Earth all the time. Some of these particles travel at exceptional speeds and turn into shooting stars […]

Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs may have created the Amazon rainforest, study suggests
A new study suggests that the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs likely gave rise to the Amazon rainforest in South America. Published April 1 in the journal Science, the study also posits that the same asteroid created all of the Americas’ tropical rainforests. Around 66 million years ago, a seven-mile-wide meteor struck what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Named the Chicxulub […]

3 Crucial processes: Study suggests humans can breathe thanks to volcanoes, tectonics and cyanobacteria
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside and Rice University have tied up multiple complex processes to come up with one comprehensive theory answering how oxygen became ubiquitous on Earth. In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers described how tectonic activity –the shifting of Earth’s outer crust – led to the formation of volcanoes that spewed massive amounts of carbon […]

Back off, bugs: Sweet potato cultivars use a specific odor to warn other plants of herbivores
A variety of sweet potato emits a specific odor that not only deters incoming pests – it also alerts neighboring plants of its kind to the presence of a threat. That’s according to researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology (MPICE) in Germany and National Taiwan University, who examined a sweet potato cultivar called Tainong 57, […]
