  • Chang’e-5 lunar mission solves 120-million-year-old volcanic mystery

    Chang’e-5 lunar mission solves 120-million-year-old volcanic mystery

    For decades, scientists have debated the Moon’s volcanic history. While extensive evidence of ancient eruptions exists, determining how long this volcanism persisted has remained elusive. New findings from China’s Chang’e-5 mission shed light on this question, offering fresh insights into the Moon’s geological activity. The Moon’s surface features vast plains of basaltic rock known as……

  • Lake Mendota’s Bacteria Are Stuck in an Evolutionary Loop, Finds Study

    Lake Mendota’s Bacteria Are Stuck in an Evolutionary Loop, Finds Study

    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 changing environmental conditions, with species undergoing significant genetic shifts over time. Despite these changes, many bacteria return to nearly identical genetic… Continue Reading News Source:…

  • Do probiotics improve gut health after antibiotic use?

    Do probiotics improve gut health after antibiotic use?

    Antibiotics are powerful tools for treating bacterial infections, yet they come with a significant drawback: the disruption of the human gut microbiota. This microbial community, essential for digestion and immune function, is altered during antibiotic use, leading to reduced bacterial diversity and other potential health issues. While probiotics have been suggested as a way to…

  • 115,000-year-old human footprints found where they should not be

    115,000-year-old human footprints found where they should not be

    Imagine strolling along the same path where our ancestors once walked, then accidentally discovering human footprints that had been left behind roughly 115,000 years ago. This is precisely what happened to a group of archaeologists when they found the oldest-known human footprints on the Arabian Peninsula. Discovered among the tracks of prehistoric animals, these imprints…

    Carbon’s cosmic ‘conveyer belt’ across time and space

    Carbon’s cosmic ‘conveyer belt’ across time and space by James Urton for UW News Seattle WA (SPX) Jan 06, 2025 Life on Earth could not exist without carbon. But carbon itself could not exist without stars. Nearly all elements except hydrogen and helium – including carbon, oxygen and iron – only exist because…

    Scientists discover tectonic processes that may extend beyond Earth

    The Central Anatolian Plateau, with its sweeping landscapes of high mountains and low-relief interiors, has puzzled scientists for decades. Rising nearly 2 kilometers above sea level, this vast region’s complex geological history offers a window into the dynamic forces shaping Earth’s surface. The plateau’s northern and southern edges, known as the Pontides and Taurides, exhibit…
