Since 2015, the area of sea ice in Antarctica has been shrinking. By July of last year, the region lost a massive ice chunk larger than Western Europe, with no signs of recovery in sight.
Recently, researchers linked the reduction in Antarctic sea ice to an unexplained increase i…

People have long marveled that an elephant, so massive and heavy, can walk calmly through swamps where other animals would struggle.
It comes down to the unique structure of its legs. An elephant’s foot is essentially encased in a leathery pouch. The bottom of this pouch is firmly attached to the foot bones, while the walls of the pouch rest freely on the surrounding muscles. When an elephant steps down, it puts its full weight on the leg, causing the leg and foot to swell and expand. Then, as …

A new genetic study has revealed that when began interbreeding with Neanderthals around 50,000 years ago, it was predominantly human women who paired with Neanderthal men.
According to a team of scientists led by Professor Alexander Platt, this mutual attraction between male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens may explain the existence of so-called “Neanderthal deserts” in human chromosomes. These are regions in the modern human genome where Neanderthal genes are rarely found.
Thus, researchers…

Kidney stones have plagued people for millennia. They cause excruciating pain and can lead to serious complications, especially when proper medical care is lacking. So any new information about kidney stones matters a lot.
An interdisciplinary team behind a new study found live bacteria and biofilms inside the most common type of stones — those made of calcium oxalate (oxalate stones). These account for about 80 percent of all cases. Until now, scientists thought these stones were made entirely…
