Pseudorabdion longiceps snake doing cartwheels

A recent study published in Biotropica reveals that the Dwarf Reed Snake (Pseudorabdion longiceps) has been found to perform cartwheels when threatened, making it the first time such an active rolling motion has been documented in snakes.

Astronomers have found potentially the largest black hole yet discovered. The black hole weighs around 30 billion times more than the sun and is located hundreds of millions of light-years from Earth, in the center of a galaxy.

Smoggy air pollution rising from a smokestack at a brick factory

The world is facing environmental damage and energy scarcity problems. This has led to a growing demand for sustainable and renewable energy technology development. One way to generate electricity is by using wastewater.

The first step in our ability to see is the microscopic change of a protein called rhodopsin found in the retina. This protein is responsible for converting light into signals that our brain can interpret to form images. The process occurs within an incredibly small time frame, taking only a picosecond or one-trillionth of a…

The COVID-19 pandemic has killed around 7 million people worldwide (1.1 million in the United States) and made many more people sick. Vaccines and antiviral treatments helped save many lives and reduce sickness.

Documentation of Candida auris spread globally 2019

Cases of Candida auris, a highly contagious fungal infection, increased drastically between 2019 and 2021, and echinocandin-resistant cases also rose.

Over the past century, IQ scores in the United States have shown a significant increase. According to a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect,” IQ scores have been increasing by around three to five points per decade. However, a recent study by Northwestern University found evidence of a reverse Flynn effect in a large U.S.…

Building infrastructure in space is currently prohibitively expensive and difficult to achieve. In order to make future space construction more feasible, it will be necessary to rely on simple materials that are easily available to astronauts. StarCrete offers one possible solution.

Recently, a team of Japanese researchers has identified the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XBB.1.5 variant prevalent in the Western hemisphere, which has high transmissibility and infectivity, and is a cause of concern for public health.

James Web Space Telescope detailed observations of WR 124 Wolf Rayet star

In June 2022, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope made one of its first observations, capturing the rare sight of a Wolf-Rayet star in unprecedented detail. The star, WR 124, is located in the constellation Sagittarius and is 15,000 light-years away.
