Researchers find reason behind extinction of Sumatran Rhinoceros
Sumatran rhinoceros have ‘critically endangered’ status, but new investigation proposes that the species has been risked for approximately 10,000 years. These species are less than 100 across the globe at the time. The research directed by genetics professor Herman Mays Jr. at Marshall University recommends that change in living conditions during Ice Age badly impacted […]
Yellowstone Supervolcano is expected to erupt sooner: Research
Researchers, who were studying and analyzing the supervolcano present beneath the Yellowstone National Park, have revealed that the supervolcano could blow much faster sooner than previously expected and its early eruption could wipe out life on Earth.

Open oceans could be the new future of wind energy
The latest research published on Monday uncovers the vast potential of wind energy over oceans that could theoretically be used to power the entire human civilization that is only if we are willing to cover a full stretch of sea with turbines and can produce ideas to install them without getting affecting by the harsh […]
Once thought extinct, this stick bug is alive and kicking

These six-inch long insects acquired a large section of the territory and ruled the island. But they became extinct as rats consumed each of them leaving no signs of survivors. This creepy and dangerous looking giant […]
Carbon emissions from soil could speed up the global climate change
Global warming has started showing its effects with long spells of summer and short rains and winters which do not feel like winters anymore. A new study into the reasons for global warming has revealed that the heat makes the soil beneath us liberate carbon dioxide which means the more the weather, the more Co2 […]
Evidence proves Darwin was right: Life started on Earth after meteorite fell on warm pond
A meteor falling into a warm little pond marked the start of life on earth. Somewhere between 3.7 and 4.5 billion years ago, the said meteorites splashed down and leached essential elements into warm ponds. According to scientists at McMaster University and the Max Planck Institute in Germany, their calculations suggest that wet and dry […]
Increased levels of Air Pollution can result in you losing a decade from your life time.
Increased levels of air pollution can result in cutting the lifespan of human between 9 years to 11 years, approximately a decade more than most other estimates which had anticipated for only two years. An increase in the levels of particles of air pollution by 10 micrograms every meter cube will result in the destruction […]
Scientists to Visit Greenland’s Remote Region for Monitoring Pace of Ice Melt around US Military Base
A team of international scientists is busy in planning a long-term expedition to the remote northwest of Greenland for finding out the pace at which the ice sheets are melting around the US military base. Thanks to the intensifying global temperature which is swiftly attributing to the mounting rate of ice sheet melt around the […]
