Velvet Ants Venom Affect Mammals and Insects Differently, Claims New Study
Velvet ants, also known as parasitic wasps, deliver venom that acts differently in mammals and insects. According to a study, specific venom peptides cause pain by targeting distinct neural pathways in each species. Researchers suggest this tailored venom evolved to fend off multiple predators, revealing insights into the adaptive nature of these i...

Could We Ever Retrieve Memories from a Dead Person's Brain? Neuroscientists Weigh In
Neuroscientists are exploring whether memories can be retrieved from a deceased person’s brain, but current research indicates significant challenges. Memories are thought to be stored in the brain as engrams, which are formed by groups of neurons in the hippocampus and other regions. While some studies have identified these engrams in animals, r...

Underground Hydrogen Reserves Could Power Earth for 200 Years, Study Finds
Trillions of tons of hydrogen have been discovered beneath Earth's surface, offering a potential clean energy solution. A recent study estimates 6.2 trillion tons of hydrogen in rocks and reservoirs, capable of powering the planet for 200 years. While access and economic viability remain challenges, scientists see immense promise in these natural r...

MIT Researchers Measure Quantum Geometry of Electrons in Solid Materials for First Time
Physicists at MIT have successfully measured the quantum geometry of electrons in solids, marking a pivotal moment in quantum research. This was achieved using an advanced adaptation of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), enabling direct observation of quantum properties that were previously theoretical. The study, featured in Nature...

TRAPPIST-1b Could Have Carbon Dioxide-Rich Atmosphere, Study Reveals
A new study published in Nature Astronomy proposes that TRAPPIST-1b, the innermost planet in the TRAPPIST-1 system, might have a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. This discovery comes from new data showing a reflective haze in the planet's upper atmosphere. Scientists are also investigating the possibility of volcanic activity based on the planet’s...

The Moon Might Be Much Older Than Previously Thought, New Study Confirms
However, new findings propose an earlier formation- approximately 4.51 billion years ago with a significant "re-melting" event occurring later.

Venus Never Had Oceans or Conditions to Support Life, New Study Finds
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have concluded that Venus likely never had oceans or conditions to support life. Their study, published in Nature Astronomy, analysed atmospheric chemistry and volcanic activity. They found that volcanic gases lacked significant steam, indicating the planet's interior has always been dry. This research ha...

Ancient Galaxy Collisions May Explain Formation of Massive Early Star Systems
Research published in Nature reveals that ancient galaxy collisions may have led to the creation of the universe’s largest star systems. Using data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), scientists studied over 100 galaxies undergoing intense star formation. These collisions are believed to have occurred 8 to 12 billion yea...

Study Finds Venus Likely Never Had Oceans, Challenging Past Theories
Recent research published in Nature Astronomy challenges past ideas about Venus, suggesting it never had oceans or conditions for life. Analysis of the planet's volcanic gases and atmospheric composition revealed that Venus’s interior is dry, ruling out the presence of liquid water. This conclusion highlights the stark contrast between Venus and ...

Arctic Ocean Likely to Experience Ice-Free Day by 2027, Study Warns
A study published in Nature Communications predicts the Arctic Ocean could face its first ice-free day as early as 2027, marking a critical environmental milestone. Conducted using 11 climate models and 366 simulations, the research highlights the urgent need for emission reductions. The loss of sea ice in the Arctic exacerbates global warming thro...
