[ad_1] Greenhouse Blues Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide are wreaking havoc in the Earth's climate. But, surprisingly, scientists at Stanford University argue that an increase in carbon emissions could curb climate change. This may seem counterintuitive, but the explanation is surprisingly simple: since methane is technically more harmful to the environment, researchers say we … Read more
[ad_1] The blatant difference between the dark side of the heavily cratered Moon and the lower open basins facing the Earth has left scientists perplexed for decades. New evidence regarding the Moon's crust suggests that the differences were caused by a lost dwarf planet colliding with the Moon at the beginning of the solar system's … Read more
[ad_1] Artistic representation of a massive collision involving two large objects. Image: NASA / JPL-Caltech Our moon has a near side and a far side with radically different geological features. This anomaly has been troubling scientists for years, but new computer simulations suggest that the asymmetrical disposition of the Moon can be attributed to an … Read more
[ad_1] A meteoroid "the size of a washing machine" broke and rained on a Costa Rican town last month. Since then, it has been classified in the category "extraterrestrial mudball" that could provide information on the origin of our solar system, according to scientists. Residents of Aguas Zarcas, a small town in Costa Rica, originally … Read more
[ad_1] In many social animal species, individuals share farming tasks, but a new study by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, reveals that bonobos mothers are taking a step further and are acting to ensure that their sons become fathers. In this way, bonobos mothers tripled their sons' chances of being … Read more

Credit: Science Advances, doi: 10.1126 / sciadv.aav5790 Three-dimensional printing (3-D) or additive manufacturing (AM) is a popular technique that is currently attracting keen interest as a promising method … Read more
[ad_1] The Moon of the Earth never shows us more than one face. It is locked in its current orientation, with a permanent near side and a hidden face, but it is only during the Apollo missions that scientists have seen how different the two sides really are. The near face, with its sea of … Read more
[ad_1] Scientists have discovered that baby tiger sharks do not just eat seafood. They also steal songbirds. In an article published Tuesday in the journal Ecology, scientists revealed that even though tiger sharks are known for their wide variety of dishes, including fish, sea snakes and sea turtles, young tiger sharks also regularly eat typical … Read more
[ad_1] The buried oceans, like the one that would believe under the icy surface of the Pluto dwarf planet, can be incredibly common in the cosmos. A new study indicates that the layer of gaseous insulation probably prevents Pluto's liquid ocean from freezing. And something similar could happen beneath the surface of icy worlds in … Read more
