Newly released images created from NASA satellite data illustrate the staggering effect the California drought has had on groundwater supply in the state. As Mashable's Patrick Kulp explains, the images show the amount of water lost over the past 12
Perhaps the fairy circles wouldn't have been able to guard their secrets so successfully if they hadn't been so concentrated in a region referred to as "The land God made in anger." The circles occur in millions in a band where the arid grass
The crystal is a salt made from cobalt*, and it appears to be capable of holding oxygen at a concentration that is 160 times higher than the air we breathe. The paper notes that "an excess" of the substance would bind up to 99 percent of the oxygen
The close proximity of stars to each other upon formation clearly involves a high probability for gravitational binding, assuming that astral formations aren't directly driven by binary interactions (which could very well be the case). Intellectuall
Schematic illustration of experimental setup that found the human body, especially the face, emits visible light in small quantities that vary during the day. B is one fo the test subjects. The other images show the weak emissions of visible light du
The giant creature first thought to be a great white shark was rapidly declared by experts to be an unknown species of shark as it's great weight and size were unheard of. Analysis of the teeth suggest the shark to be a parent of the Megalodon, an
As a result of the previous research, the so-called "9-repeat allele" (or variant) was found in all of the 41 Native American and Asian (from the western side of the Bering Strait) populations that were sampled. At the same time, the allele was a
"It was ten miles to the dam. It was the longest, hardest ten miles I have ever travelled," said Mark, who has hiked to remote areas in Peru and the Amazon rainforest.
"It is incredibly difficult country to get through. The foliage is so thi
"Because his dream was always the same, I suggested he pick one particular moment in the dream and each night as he fell asleep to mentally and emotionally visualize himself back in that particular moment and remind himself that he was dreaming. He
A European journey in the 1990's led Frank Chester, the San Francisco retired teacher, sculptor and geometer, to Dornach in Switzerland. Prior to this journey he had never heard anything about Rudolf Steiner or Anthroposophy. He was immediately imp
This theory suggests that high-velocity impacts allowed the mixing and heating of surface permafrost with underground material on ancient Mars.
This intriguing discovery will only add to the mystery that surrounds our neighbouring world and the
While consumers of raw honey can tell you that it works wonders, researchers wanted to know exactly why? What have they been missing? What are the exact compounds that make raw honey nature's antibiotic? How has it protected bee colonies forever (u
To measure urbanization, the authors looked primarily at ground cover throughout the city, at several scales, where they collected each spider: Are surfaces mostly paved? Is there a lack of natural vegetation? Lawns as opposed to leaf litter?

Luckily McMahon pulled through, but something strange happened upon his awakening — he only spoke Mandarin. Fluent Mandarin. It took him several days to regain his English-speaking abilities, and the Mandarin was there to stay.

A hunter has been killed by a grizzly bear in the Northwest Territories.
RCMP said they received a call Wednesday night about the attack southwest of Norman Wells near the Yukon boundary.

Webster Cash, an astronomer whose Aragoscope concept recently won a Phase I award from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program (see 'Aragoscope' Offers High Resolution Optics in Space), has also been deeply involved in starshades, in which
hen a huge star many times the mass of the sun comes to the end of its life it collapses in on itself and forms a singularity - creating a black hole where gravity is so strong that not even light itself can escape.
At least, that's what we thou
A direct consequence appears to be that geometry is far more important than mass and this opens the door to negative gravity as well. It is noteworthy that a paper I discovered from a Russian expert on butterflys is probably valid. He determined t
The results of a new study headed by Oxford University showed that vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid reduced brain atrophy, improved brain function, and dramatically reduced brain shrinkage in the part of the brain most affected in Alzheimer's. (1)
These organisms, too, have proven difficult to categorise and some researchers have even suggested they were failed experiments in multi-cellular life.
The authors of the paper recognise two new species of mushroom-shaped animal: Dendrogramma enig
Could an unusual fish that walks hold secrets to evolution of animals, including humans?
Ancient fish first came onto land around 400 million years ago. These tetrapods had four legs, and were distant ancestors to all land animals alive today, in
Of what crisis do these alarm bells warn? Put simply, it's a breakdown of human communication. Evaporating emotional intelligence. You've heard it before, but consider it's impact. It strikes at the core of our being and leaves us resorting to
Every cause of disease first begins with an imbalance in the body's energy systems, specifically, the interaction between how the heart communicates with the brain and the body. Fix that and there is no disease, ever. The heart can produce an elect
pterosaur was about 2.3 feet (0.7 m) long and had a wingspan of about 4.9 feet (1.5 m). It had an elongated skull and a unique crest or bladelike bulge of bone on the tip of its lower jaw. The head of this newfound pterosaur is different from that o
They usually occur about twice a century in the Milky Way Galaxy. But about 10 million years ago, a slew of them exploded right near our solar system.
"Supernovas went off like popcorn," NASA says.
The commercialization of the web is the ugly reality of the hidden cost of all the datacenters and servers required to power the Internet. And that commercialization is compounded by the power of the big digital platforms that dominate the web we hav
What's most interesting is not simply how we got multiple languages but rather how we determine, without the benefit of a time machine, which modern languages are related. To do this, historical linguists compare large numbers of words in different
In an article published in the scholarly journal Nature Physics, the researchers describe how they reached their conclusions after examining bubbles in containers holding water covered by a layer of oil. Using several experimental approaches, they pr
Down the line, the Knowledge Vault could serve as the foundation for advanced augmented reality networks. The database would provide instant data, via heads-up display, on virtually anything you look at. The Knowledge Vault could also be used, eventu
"I think we can set aside the idea of a rapid extinction of Neanderthals caused solely by the arrival of modern humans. Instead we can see a more complex process in which there is a much longer overlap between the two populations where there could
