Recent tracking efforts have uncovered how the common noctule bat, a species capable of covering over 1,000 kilometres in a few days, adapts its migration patterns. Using tiny transmitters and…
The flight dynamics of birds have inspired researchers to explore innovative enhancements for aeroplane wings. Featherlike flaps, designed to resemble the covert feathers seen on bird wings, have demonstrated the…
Seasonal variations in Lake Mendota in Wisconsin, US, appear to drive rapid evolutionary changes in bacterial species, as revealed through a long-term genetic study. Bacteria within the lake adapt to…
Organic carbon preservation in ocean sediments, a phenomenon critical to the Earth's carbon cycle, has been illuminated by new research. The study explores mechanisms that prevent organic carbon from breaking…
The study of the Sun and its influence on the solar system is expected to make significant strides in 2025. The year will bring new developments driven by an active…
A volcanic eruption in A.D. 536 and subsequent climatic disruptions have been cited as pivotal moments in history, as per reports. While often characterised as catastrophic, these events have been…
A study has explored the techniques used by chimpanzees to select stone tools for cracking nuts, revealing possible similarities to methods employed by ancient human ancestors. Researchers observed that chimpanzees,…
The ancient Rujm el-Hiri site, situated in the Golan Heights and often referred to as the "Wheel of Ghosts," has been re-evaluated, with its long-standing identification as an astronomical observatory…
A detailed analysis of Yemeni genomes has shed light on ancient migration patterns, uncovering genetic influences from the Levant, Arabia, and East Africa. The research indicates that Yemen's geographic location…
New research has revealed that spiders use specialised hairs on their legs to detect airborne scents, offering fresh insights into the sensory abilities of these arachnids. This discovery has resolved…
