A day on Earth will last longer than 24 hours in about millions of years from today
A recent study has suggested that more than 1.4 billion years ago, a day on the Earth lasted for just 18 hours. But today, a day on Earth is around 24 hours. The duration of a day on our planet depends on many factors of which, one of the crucial factors is the Earth-Moon interaction. […]
Largest ever genomic research study will record DNA of all living beings on the Earth
Over a period of past few decades, we have seen rapid advancement in fields like ecology, food, medicine, neuroscience, and others with due thanks to the advancements in biotechnology. Studying the genetics or genomics of any living thing can help uncover many secrets and allow scientists to use it as a tool to achieve future […]
Researchers found hidden subglacial valleys near the South Pole, Antarctica
Recently, researchers involved in an ambitious project found valleys and troughs deep inside the thick icy region of Western Antarctica near the South Pole. Scientists believe that the recent discovery can help contribute to the knowledge of rising global sea levels. A team of British researchers from Northumbria University and other participating universities and institutions […]
Scientists found the real culprit stealing iron from the continental crust
Mars is called as the red planet because of the rich iron content which when exposed to meager oxygen available in the planet’s atmosphere, it reduced to a rust-coated planet which appears red. As per the researchers, Earth could rust too, however, due to a fraction of iron content seeping inside the continental crust, the […]
Researchers scrutinize Yellowstone National Park to trace Evolution of life on Earth
Yellowstone National Park is a popular site with a huge number of tourists visiting it every year. It is one of the major sites where researchers conduct several researchers due to its outstanding characteristics. In the latest study led by Professor William Inskeep along with his team, they found the existence of a new form […]
Internal Pressure of proton is ten times greater than a neutron star, reveal scientists
A neutron star is the densest object known in the universe bearing an extremely high pressure inside its core, however, it is baffling that a proton, a component of an atom which is indeed extremely small bears more internal pressure that even the neutron star. According to the researchers at the Jefferson Lab in Virginia, […]
Are Octopus aliens? New theory suggests eight-leg creature has intergalactic genes
Scientists have been trying to figure out if alien life exists or not. But what if it exists and we are actually familiar with it. We all know Octopuses, these are vividly colored with eight to ten limbs and a central hand with huge eyes animals. Octopuses have a strange ability to edit their own […]
Earliest evidences of oxygen found in a galaxy 13.28 billion light-years away from Earth
A distant galaxy, located at around 13 billion light-years away from the Earth and gravitationally lensed, allowed the scientists to detect the earliest evidence of oxygen and the formation of stars and galaxies when the universe was still 2 to 3% of its present age. According to the calculations, the earliest stars were formed some […]
A large number of fishes die of suffocation due to feces from hippopotamus
Scientists observed a great influx of dead fishes at the Mara River which flows between Kenya and Tanzania in the African continent. This triggered the researchers to find out the reason behind such phenomenon where they found out that hippos living in 62 mile stretch of Mara River were to be blamed. Actually, their feces […]
