These little "water bears", known to withstand very extreme environments, may have survived the wreckage. … Read more
[ad_1] Although the world is 4.54 billion years old, the rocks are not. The many processes that shape the earth's crust and the highest levels of our planet are constantly changing these rocks: they form, they grow, break, turn into dust and convert back to rocks. Some of Earth's oldest rocks have persisted for about … Read more
[ad_1] This image shows the transition from Cooper pair density (indicated by blue dots) to charge density waves. Argonne scientists have discovered that by introducing defects, they could disrupt charge density waves and increase superconductivity. Credit: Ellen Weiss / Argonne National Laboratory Discovered over 100 years ago, superconductivity continues to captivate scientists looking to develop … Read more
[ad_1] A figure inspired by an ancient Roman / Latin god called "Giano Bifronte" or Jianus. This God condenses within himself two rather antithetic natures, which coexist in the same entity. It is not possible to remove or extract one of the two natures without completely destroying God. In the context of the study, the … Read more

[ad_1] Astronomers watched the black hole in the center of our galaxy for 20 years, and in May, they saw something that they had never seen before. Well, technically, they do not monitor the black hole itself, which scientists call Sagittarius A * or Sgr A *. Instead, they examine the question around this black … Read more
[ad_1] According to a study published by Erik Trinkaus of the University of Washington and colleagues, abnormal bone growths in the ear canal were surprisingly common among Neanderthals. External auditory exostoses are dense bone outgrowths that protrude into the auditory canal. In modern humans, this condition is commonly referred to as "swimmer's ear" and is … Read more
