A groundbreaking study, recently published in Papers in Palaeontology, has revealed the oldest known fossil of a docodontan mammal, shedding new light on the evolutionary journey of early mammals. The discovery, led by Dr. Sofia Patrocínio and her team, presents the oldest definitive docodontan found to date, narrowing the knowledge gap between early docodontans and later mammalian species by 7 …

Groundbreaking research led by a Swansea University academic has revealed a synthetic glycosystem – a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle – that can block Covid-19 from infecting human cells, reducing infection rates by nearly 99%. The glycosystem is a specially designed particle that mimics natural sugars found on human cells. These sugars, known as polysialosides, are made of repeating units of sialic …

Off the volcanic ridges of the Eastern Pacific, deep beneath the surface where sunlight never reaches, a team of researchers has uncovered something extraordinary: a secret network of underwater caves crawling with giant tube worms—some nearly 20 inches long. The discovery, led by scientists from the Schmidt Ocean Institute in Palo Alto, California, revealed a previously unknown ecosystem lurking beneath …

So big, in fact, that to make it to our nearest star system you would need to factor in the fairly sizeable downside that you will die of old age before you get there. Humanity has focused on making our spaceships more speedy, as well as the possibility of …
