A trove of arboreal fossils pushes back the origin of modern forests and sophisticated tree roots At three trillion strong, Earth’s trees are estimated to outnumber the stars in the Milky Way. These woody wonders sponge carbon dioxide out of the skies, brace soil against erosion, cycle water through ecosystems and support countless forms of life.

You don’t have to know a whole lot about science to know that black holes normally suck things in, not spew things out. But NASA detected something mighty bizarre at the supermassive black hole Markarian 335. Two of NASA’s space telescopes, including the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), amazingly observed a black hole’s corona “launched”

Introduction In a scenario reminiscent of science fiction, scientists have announced that a potentially dangerous asteroid, designated 2007 FT3, is on a collision course with Earth, with impact expected in just 270 days. This alarming discovery has triggered urgent discussions among astronomers, government agencies, and global organizations as they prepare to address the looming

These small oval-bodied animals called Rollie Pollies or also known as ball bugs. They are characterized by their defense mechanism which, when feeling danger, twists in such a way that it manages to form an almost perfect ball. The most important thing is that they do not represent any danger to humans, but they do have a

Amid rising concerns over the effects of global warming, a group of scientists has claimed that the Earth could in a little over a decade be hit by a “mini ice age” that would freeze major rivers. The startling prediction is based on a mathematical model of the Sun’s magnetic energy which also suggests that

Tara Sharifi, a student at Aylesbury High School, recently took the Mensa IQ test in Oxford where she scored well above the “genius benchmark” of 140. The 11-year-old student scored 162 points on the test, which is two points ahead of Einstein, a theoretical physicist who is considered as one of the two pillars

Around 2.2 billion years ago, a massive space rock collided against our planet, leaving a massive scar.Around 200 million years older than any other site like it on the planet’s surface, the so-called Yarrabubba impact structure is located in Australia. Although the impact site is the oldest found to date, finding it was not easy.Our

However, a physics professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth named Vitaly Vanchurin attempted to reframe reality in a particularly eye-opening way in a preprint published on arXiv, arguing that we’re living inside a huge neural network that governs everything around us. In other words, it’s a “possibility that the entire cosmos on its most fundamental
