A recent fossil finding fills a breach of obvious prehistoric birds. The Jurassic period affirms Archeptérix (Sometimes called Dinosaur Adeinonychosaurian), which, despite its feathered wings, seem more dinosaurs. Meanwhile, most Avian parents of the Cretaceous seem more similar to birds, with short tails that end in a compound bone called Pigostilo. A team from the…
When the scientists pointed to the X-ray Observatory of the European Space Agency, XMM-Newton, with two mysterious lights on the outskirts of the great Magellanic cloud, they discovered an unexpected source: two previously unknown supernova remains. “When a star dies, it can explode in a supernova, causing a strong shock wave and forming an interstellar…
Meet Jon Nelson. He’s a dad, a husband, a coach and a professional who works in marketing. But underneath it all, he suffered – for years – from severe depression. His suffering was so great that he volunteered for an experimental treatment called deep brain stimulation, in which electrodes are permanently implanted in his brain….
The list of different factors that can affect the risk of cancer is long, from air pollution, increasing it to drinking milk, which reduces it. Now, a new study suggests that its possibilities of obtaining the disease are established at least before it was born. Directed by a team from the Van Andel Institute in…

He had enjoyed being part of the success in the Great Colider of Hadrones del Cern (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, the particle collider who discovered the Higgs boson. But now, he wondered, were they…
20 years have passed since we started blogging on climate here in Realclimate (December 10, 2004). We wanted to counteract misinformation about climate change that was extending through several campaigns. In those days it was an unusual movement that caused A welcome from Nature. One thing that I did not anticipate then was the vast…
Quantum computing has made a giant leap forward as researchers in The University of Oxford have demonstrated successfully Quantum teleportation of logic doors“A milestone that could redefine the future of computing.” The advance resolves a great challenge in the field: scalability. With this innovation, quantum computers could soon go from experimental research to technology that…
Ed. Note: Yes, certainly, parts of last year were quite bad, yes, we noticed it. But not everything is terrible at all times in every way. And perhaps, possibly, even probably, good things happen in this new year. Craig: A Robbie Robertson song contains some of my favorite lyrics:Give us strengthGive us wisdomAnd give us…
