Decay

Fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral, is commonly added to public drinking water to prevent tooth decay, a practice endorsed by numerous health authorities.

A recent study reveals that ant agriculture originated 66 million years ago, following the asteroid impact that led to the dinosaurs' extinction. This event allowed fungi to flourish in the aftermath, as they thrived on decaying plant matter. It was found that while the initial partnership formed post-impact, ants did not develop advanced farming t...

Researchers have found a 3,775-year-old log buried under a farm in Canada, offering insight into a low-cost and scalable method to lock carbon out of the atmosphere for millennia. The study reveals that burying wood under the right conditions, such as in oxygen-deprived environments and clay soils, could prevent its decay and preserve its carbon co...

Dental Cavities: A nutritionist and a dentist reveal three common foods that are harmful to your teeth

The photos, taken by robotic dives this summer, reveal that a section of the bow railing has collapsed since the last images were captured in 2022.

Recent research led by forensic anthropologist Alexandra L. Morton-Hayward from the University of Oxford has unveiled that human brains can endure preservation for up to 12,000 years. This groundbreaking study analysed over 4,400 preserved brains from various archaeological sites, revealing that brains can remain intact far longer than previously a...

Scientists are on the brink of a groundbreaking discovery that could expand the periodic table to include element 120. Currently, the periodic table comprises 118 elements, ranging from hydrogen with one proton to oganesson with 118. The quest to explore the frontiers of atomic physics has led researchers to develop a novel technique to create elem...

A French village preserved as a reminder of Nazi cruelty since Waffen-SS troops murdered 643 people there in 1944 is in danger of decay, sparking efforts to preserve the site.

Ankur Warikoo, a well-known author, entrepreneur, and content creator, recently took to Instagram to share how he lost 10 Kg and got 6-pack abs at the age of 43.

The discovery is significant because soft tissue preservation is uncommon under natural conditions.

A mysterious, decaying marine creature washed up on a beach in Papua New Guinea. Experts believe it's a marine mammal, but can't identify it.

At least 115 decomposing bodies were found at an eco-friendly funeral home after a foul odor emanated from the facility.

Residents and rescue workers in the devastated Libyan city of Derna are struggling to cope with the thousands of corpses washing up or decaying under rubble, after a flood that smashed down buildings and swept people to sea.

Below we discuss what habits can lead to tooth decay and habits that might help you prevent it.

Operations to salvage 1.1 million barrels of oil from a decaying tanker moored off Yemen's coast will soon begin after a technical support ship arrived on site on Tuesday, the United Nations said.
