Mysterious 300-million-year-old ‘Tully monster’ may not be the creature scientists thought it was

Mysterious 300-million-year-old ‘Tully monster’ may not be the creature scientists thought it was – as new research reveals it wasn’t a vertebrate after all Tullimonstrum, also known as the Tully monster, lived 300 million years ago It has baffled scientists since fossils were first discovered 60 years ago   A 2016 discovery of stiffened cartilage classified Tully … Read more

Air pollution is reducing global life expectancy by three years, scientists find

Air pollution is reducing global life expectancy by three years, killing 8.8million people a year, a study shows. More people are dying early from breathing toxic air than some of the largest killers, including malaria, HIV, war and smoking. Scientists led by Germany fear the world is facing an air pollution ‘pandemic’ after analysing deaths … Read more

British scientists launch ‘Fireball Network’ of cameras to track meteorites striking the UK

British scientists have launched a ‘Fireball Network’ of cameras to track meteorites striking the UK and triangulate the position of the fallen space rocks. The camera network — which will ultimately span ten different sites — will allow scientists to send out search teams to recover meteorites for analysis. Studying meteorite samples allows researchers to gain … Read more

Scientists find ‘first-ever animal’ that doesn’t need oxygen to live

A jellyfish-like parasite is the first ever animal discovered that lives without oxygen  and it could shed light on how alien life could exist on other planets. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel say the jellyfish-like parasite spends its life clinging to the inside of North Pacific salmon in a low to zero-oxygen environment. … Read more

Scientists find way to make tiny DIAMONDS quickly with surprisingly little heat and no catalyst

Scientists have developed a way to make tiny diamonds quickly and easily with surprisingly little heat and no catalyst. The technique involves extracting special cage-like molecules from petroleum and natural gas and then heating them with a laser under intense pressures.  The applications of the diamonds created may be limited, however, as the technique is … Read more

St Louis scientists cure diabetes in mice in just two weeks using converted human cells

A massive breakthrough in the search for a cure for diabetes has been made by researchers who have successfully cured diabetes in mice for the first time using converted human cells to keep the disease at bay.  The human stem cell strategy functionally cured the disease in mice for at least nine months and in … Read more
