[ad_1] Mongooses rarely leave the group they were born into, so members are usually genetically related. The new study, published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how females bypass the problem of inbreeding. The research team, led by the University of Cambridge and the …

[ad_1] Tropical storm clouds are unique in that they self-organize even when conditions below and above them are uniform, and they do so with “memories” of past formations.

[ad_1] Nobody wants to go to hell, neither the place of eternal damnation nor a new planet recently discovered by scientists. The Royal Astronomical Society’s monthly notices recently published the results of astronomers who discovered Earth-like planets spinning so close to their host star that their surfaces had melted, making …

[ad_1] Possible Small Satellite: NASA’s Osiris-Rex is more successful than the space agency predicted. At the end of the left Rex we were 200 million miles away and its lead was used to stretch nitrogen gas on the surface and in space rocks on the asteroid’s surface creating a vacuum …

[ad_1] The small satellite that could: NASA’s OSIRIS-REx is even more successful than the space agency predicted. The last time we left REx, he was 200 million miles away, had stretched out his robotic arm and blasted the surface with pure nitrogen gas and used a vacuum cleaner – one …

[ad_1] A two-million-year-old skull of a distant broad-toothed human cousin has been unearthed in an archaeological dig led by Australia deep into a South African cave system. Key points: Paranthropus robustus walked the Earth around the same time as Homo erectus The fossil discovery provides the first high-resolution evidence for …
