| Haiti's 1860 Jour de Pâques earthquakes may have released strain in key fault zone Posted: 12 Jul 2022 11:11 AM PDT Using details from historical newspaper accounts and letters, seismologists have learned more about Haiti's 1860 Jour de Pâques (Easter Sunday) earthquake sequence, and how it might have impacted the country's most recent devastating earthquakes. |
| Rare deep-sea brine pools discovered in Red Sea Posted: 12 Jul 2022 07:26 AM PDT Researchers recently discovered rare deep-sea brine pools in the Gulf of Aqaba, a northern extension to the Red Sea. These salty underwater lakes hold secrets into the way oceans on Earth formed millions of years ago, and offer clues to life on other planets. |
| Entombed together: Rare fossil flower and parasitic wasp make for amber artwork Posted: 11 Jul 2022 03:23 PM PDT Fossil research has revealed an exquisite merger of art and science: a long-stemmed flower of a newly described plant species encased in a 30-million-year-old tomb together with a parasitic wasp. |
| Proof Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance decades ahead of his time Posted: 11 Jul 2022 11:32 AM PDT Gregor Mendel, the Moravian monk, was indeed 'decades ahead of his time and truly deserves the title of 'founder of genetics.'' So concludes an international team of scientists as the 200th birthday of Mendel approaches on 20 July. |
| Stronger overturning circulation in the Pacific during the last glacial period Posted: 11 Jul 2022 08:18 AM PDT Coral data indicate that the upper layers of Pacific Ocean were more mixed during the last Ice Age than they are today. New research shows that the Tasman Sea in the South Pacific was an important component of the global conveyor belt at that time. |
| Paleobiology: Complex family relationships Posted: 11 Jul 2022 08:18 AM PDT An international team of researchers has managed to classify fossils of one of the most species-rich fish groups into a family tree for the first time. |
| Nanoparticles can save historic buildings Posted: 11 Jul 2022 06:51 AM PDT Buildings made of porous rock can weather over the years. Now scientists have studied in detail how silicate nanoparticles can help save them. Many historical buildings were built of sandstone. It is easy to work with, but does not withstand weathering well. It consists of sand grains that are relatively weakly bonded to each other. However, it is possible to increase the resistance of the stone by treating it with special silicate nanoparticles. |
| Posted: 08 Jul 2022 09:36 AM PDT Scientists revealed new research based on a cache of fossils that contains the brain and nervous system of a half-billion-year-old marine predator from the Burgess Shale called Stanleycaris. Stanleycaris belonged to an ancient, extinct offshoot of the arthropod evolutionary tree called Radiodonta, distantly related to modern insects and spiders. These findings shed light on the evolution of the arthropod brain, vision, and head structure. |
| Wildfires may have sparked ecosystem collapse during Earth's worst mass extinction Posted: 30 Jun 2022 05:33 AM PDT New research reveals that wildfires may have been a key contributor to the total collapse of land ecosystems during Earth's worst mass extinction event over 250 million years ago. |
