Discovery of New Dinosaur Species with Sail-Like Structure Stuns Scientists

Discovery of New Dinosaur Species with Sail-Like Structure Stuns Scientists

A groundbreaking discovery on the Isle of Wight has revealed a new dinosaur species, Istiorachis macarthurae, distinguished by a sail-like structure along its back. This finding challenges previous views on dinosaur evolution and opens new discussions on sexual selection in prehistoric creatures. Identified by Jeremy Lockwood, a retired doctor working on his PhD at the University of Portsmouth, the discovery …

Scientists discover crystal that breathes oxygen like lungs

Scientists discover crystal that breathes oxygen like lungs

A team of scientists from Korea and Japan has discovered a new type of crystal that can “breathe” — releasing and absorbing oxygen repeatedly at relatively low temperatures. This unique ability could transform the way we develop clean energy technologies, including fuel cells, energy-saving windows, and smart thermal devices. The newly developed material is a special kind of metal oxide …

A fisherman discovers a black iceberg off the northeast coast of Canada, leaving scientists in shock.

A Faroese fisherman’s extraordinary encounter with nature has left the scientific community stunned. Hallur Antoniussen was navigating his vessel Saputi through the icy waters near Carbonear when he spotted something unprecedented: a towering black iceberg rising from the North Atlantic. This massive dark formation, perfectly sculpted and gleaming with an obsidian-like surface, challenged everything experts thought they knew about Arctic ice …

Scientists Have Identified the Origin of an Extraordinarily Powerful Outer Space Radio Wave

Scientists Have Identified the Origin of an Extraordinarily Powerful Outer Space Radio Wave

The Earth is constantly receiving space signals that contain vital information about extremely energetic phenomena. Among the most peculiar are brief pulses of extremely high-energy radio waves, known as fast radio bursts (FRB). Astronomers compare them to a powerful lighthouse that shines for milliseconds in the middle of a rough, distant sea. Detecting one of these signals is an achievement …

According to Harvard Scientists, This Missing Nutrient May Be the Key to Stopping Alzheimer’s

According to Harvard Scientists, This Missing Nutrient May Be the Key to Stopping Alzheimer’s

Harvard researchers report that the brain naturally contains lithium and that its early loss may spark the cascade that becomes Alzheimer’s. In human tissue, lithium levels drop at the earliest stages, and in mice, forming amyloid appears to sequester lithium; a brain-available, amyloid-evading lithium compound restored memory and reversed pathology. Credit: Shutterstock Study finds that lithium loss triggers Alzheimer’s, but …

Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold

Scientists found the missing nutrients bees need — Colonies grew 15-fold

A new study led by the University of Oxford in collaboration with Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, University of Greenwich, and the Technical University of Denmark could provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution to help tackle the devastating decline in honeybees. An engineered food supplement, designed to provide essential compounds found in plant pollen, was found to significantly enhance colony reproduction. …
