It has long been speculated that the rise in atmospheric oxygen levels is responsible for early animal evolution. But many studies failed to provide a direct cause and effect relationships between animal and environmental evolution. This was because of the lack of direct evidence for an oxygen incre...
Greenhouse gas carbon dioxide acts like an atmospheric blanket trapping Earth's heat and abundance of carbon dioxide can alter the global climate. And warming climate causes the polar ice to melt thereby causing the sea levels to rise.
Many Americans suffering from Type 2 diabetes and they may not be even aware of it. However, a new study says that gut bacteria can reveal whether you suffer from the disease or not.
An international team of scientists led by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have proposed an innovative design of a space time crystal based on an electric field ion trap and the Coulomb repulsion of particles that carry the same electric charge.

New evidence on the microbial life points to migration of microbial life from Earth's oceans to land 2.75 billion years ago. According to the researchers from the University of Washington early microbes might have been widespread on land, producing oxygen and weathering pyrite, an iron sulfide miner...
The scientists from Harvard have taken control over an animal's brain by using precisely targeted lasers. This new revolutionary development could help in understand human nervous system. The Harvard researchers can instruct the tiny worm C. Elegans to turn in any direction they choose. They can eve...
A team of marine scientists have stated that drastic changes are occurring in the waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR) over the past 25 years. This evidence was yielded from the satellite measurement of sea surface temperatures.
