Dinosaur Eggshells Just Added Curious Evidence to a Debate About Their Blood

One of the great, longstanding mysteries in the study of dinosaurs is the question of whether the blood in those ancient, towering and sometimes terrifying frames ran hot or cold. Traditionally, it was thought that dinosaurs, like modern-day reptiles, were cold-blooded creatures. In more recent times however, growing awareness of the dinosaurian origin of birds has complicated this assumption,

The World’s Richest Man Just Pledged $10 Billion to Fight Climate Change

Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon and the world's richest man, said Monday he was committing US$10 billion to a new fund to tackle climate change. In a post to his 1.4 million followers on Instagram, the e-commerce tycoon said the Bezos Earth Fund would "fund scientists, activists, NGOs - any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world." "Climate

NASA Has Detected Millions of Methane Hotspots Littering The Arctic

In the remote northern Arctic, greenhouse gas emissions are slipping through the icy cracks. Flying over some of the most inaccessible parts of Alaska and northwestern Canada, NASA researchers have located a shocking amount of thawing permafrost - the frozen layer of soil that blankets much of the region. If this tundra melts, it releases methane and other carbon emissions into the atmospher

Scientists Built a Genius Device That Generates Electricity ‘Out of Thin Air’

They found it buried in the muddy shores of the Potomac River more than three decades ago: a strange "sediment organism" that could do things nobody had ever seen before in bacteria. This unusual microbe, belonging to the Geobacter genus, was first noted for its ability to produce magnetite in the absence of oxygen, but with time scientists found it could make other things too, like bacterial n

I Photographed Penguins In Antarctica And They Are Cuteness Overload (10 Pics)

I spent some time in Antarctica a few weeks ago, and besides photographing landscapes, I couldn't help but document the cute penguins. I quickly got addicted to photographing them as they're just so nice to watch⁠—their amusing movements, cute interactions with little chicks, and even their funny way of walking. I could sit there and just watch them for hours. Being on the islands of Antarc

After 40 Years of Hunting, Scientists Identify a Key Flaw in Solar Panel Efficiency

Solar panels are fantastic pieces of technology, but we need to work out how to make them even more efficient – and last year, scientists solved a 40-year-old mystery around one of the key obstacles to increased efficiency. The 2019 study outlined a material defect in silicon used to produce solar cells that has previously gone undetected. It could be responsible for the 2 percent efficiency

Someone In Bulgaria Is Putting Googly Eyes On Broken Street Objects, And It’s Even Better Than Fixing Things

Last month we introduced you to the art of "eyebombing," otherwise known as sticking googly eyes on basically anything you can find in order to make people smile. Well the trend has now reached Bulgaria thanks to a street artist called Vanyu Krastev, and as you can see from his "eye-catching" work, he certainly has an "eye" for the perfect eyebomb! From trees and lamp posts to trash cans and si

Powerful Radio Signal From Deep Space Appears to Be Repeating in a 16-Day Cycle

One of the defining characteristics of the mysterious deep-space signals we call fast radio bursts is that they are unpredictable. They belch out across the cosmos without rhyme or reason, with no discernible pattern, making them incredibly hard to study. Now, for the first time, astronomers have found a fast radio burst (FRB) that repeats on a regular cycle. Every 16.35 days, the signal nam

NASA Astronaut Christina Koch Just Officially Shattered a New Spaceflight Record

NASA's Christina Koch returned to Earth safely on Thursday after shattering the spaceflight record for female astronauts with a stay of almost 11 months aboard the International Space Station. Koch touched down at 09:12 GMT on the Kazakh steppe after 328 days in space, along with Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency and Alexander Skvortsov of the Russian space agency. Koch was shown s
