A new study has revealed for the first time that the old carbon, stored in landscapes for thousands of years or more, can find its way back to the atmosphere as the CO2 released from the surfaces of the rivers. The findings, led by scientists from the University of Bristol and the cover history of…
Stark’s new satellite data reveal that the Colorado River Basin has lost large amounts of groundwater in recent decades, and some investigations suggest that this groundwater could be exhausted at the end of the century. But is that really the case? And if so, what could be done to prevent that from happening? While the…

The earth revolves on its axis and revolves around the sun, which in turn orbit around the galactic center at speeds of hundreds of km/s. In our neighborhood, the speed of the sun and the other stars around the galactic center has an uncertainty of about about ~ 10%, or ~ 20 km/s, which is…
CVILL6 and CVILL7: Powerful and selective peptide blockers Abstract Scorpion poisons are a rich source of peptides that modulate the activity of ionic channels and can serve as a new drug for canalopathies. CVILL6 and CVILL7 are two new peptides isolated from the poison of Villegasi centuroids With MW of 4277 DA and 4287 gives…
A domestic dog or a wolf? The difference seems quite easy to detect today, but the distinction was not always so obvious.

Dehorning rhinos dramatically drops the poaching rate compared with other tactics, researchers report June 5 in Science. The researchers suggest that no other anti-poaching intervention — such as protective fencing or higher…
In 2012, NASA sneaked a morgue in orbit. No press statement. There is no fanfare. Only a sealed bag of soft sides hidden in a cargo shipment to the International Space Station (ISS) along with lyophilized meals and scientific equipment. Officially, the human remains containment unit (HRCU) was called. For the not trained eye, it…

Do we all gradually lose our innate ability to conjure the novelty with the heavy work of life, or the experience teaches us to adjust it? Paul Harris, Harvard University Development Psychologist, has argued that imagination improves with age,…
