Twilight zones discovered deep underground – and sceintists don't know what they are
Some of the Earth’s most “extreme features” have been discovered deep, deep underground, and scientists can’t work out what they are. The mysterious zones have the power to slow down seismic waves by up to 50 per cent, yet experts don’t know what they’re made of or what role they play. These strange black holes (figuratively speaking) are located w...

Physics: Gamma-Ray Burst Tightens Constraints on Quantum Gravity
An analysis of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed reveals no difference in the propagation speed of different frequencies of light—placing some of the tightest constraints on certain violations of general relativity.

Lucy (Australopithecus)
AL 288-1, commonly known as Lucy or Dinkʼinesh, is a collection of several hundred pieces of fossilized bone comprising 40 percent of the skeleton of a female of the hominin species Australopithecus afarensis. It was discovered in 1974 in Ethiopia, at Hadar, a site in the Awash Valley of the Afar Triangle, by Donald Johanson, a paleoanthropologist of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.

indy100: Scientists discover mysterious 'twin' could be behind rapid expansion of the universe
The universe is expanding at a rapid rate and scientists don’t really know why – but one expert has a compelling theory, and it concerns a mysterious 'twin’. One possible explanation as to why the fabric of the universe is growing was posited by Naman Kumar, who is a PhD student at the Indian Instit...

What Happens When Scientists Put a Human Intelligence Gene Into a Monkey?
Other scientists are concerned and ethical questions linger over where the research on brain genes may lead. Scientists adding a human intelligence gene into monkeys - it's the kind of thing you'd see in a movie like Rise of the Planet of the Apes. But Chinese researchers have done just that, improving the short-term memories of […] The post What Happens When Scientists Put a Human Intelligence Gene Into a Monkey? appeared first on Organically...

Aliens may be hitching rides on meteors to colonize the cosmos, study suggests. Here's how we could spot them.
Aliens may be hitching rides on meteors to colonize the cosmos, study suggests. Here's how we could spot them.
A fringe theory called "panspermia" suggests that lifeforms can spread to new planets by hitching rides on meteors. New research lays out a roadmap for finding where these hypothetical, planet-hopping aliens may reside.
