It’s news that may unsettle fans of Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds,’ but scientists have proven that crows possess a form of consciousness and are smarter than they’ve been given credit for. Corvids, or the crow and raven family of birds, are consciously aware of their environments and the short-term passage […]
Scientists can’t predict where the invaders will strike next. But one nightmare scenario is California’s vineyards—the fourth-largest global wine producer. (Marc McAndrews) Spotted Lanternfly Invades the U.S. Like wine?

The information below is highly classified. Asking the questions are Ian Greenhalgh and Don Fox. The answers are by the University of California’s team that investigated 9/11 for the US Department of Energy. Those answering are physicists who work in nuclear weapons design and testing exclusively, the world’s foremost experts. […]
Since emerging in China in late 2019, the coronavirus has spread to virtually every country around the world, causing nearly a million deaths, and doing trillions of dollars in economic damage amid efforts undertaken by all but a handful of nations to slow its spread. A small number of coronavirus-infected […]
An international team of scientists, together with researchers at the National Research Technological University MISiS (NUST MISiS), has synthesized a material for reconstructive surgery from blue mussel shells (Mytilus edulis). According to the researchers, the material is safe and has high antibacterial properties. The study results were published in the […]
An international team of researchers leading the decoding projected said that “implicit” forms of anti-Semitism are becoming more popular on Internet platforms and are expected to “become more explicit over time”. An international team of researchers will launch a new project aimed at limiting the spread of anti-Semitism online by […]
A team of scientists has discovered a dramatic change in the purpose of sleep, which takes place when humans reach roughly two-and-a-half years of age, switching from rapid growth to a permanent damage-control function. Before this milestone, the brain grows very rapidly, making use of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep […]
Although dark matter makes up most of the universe, scientists still cannot explain the very nature of it, relying only on studying its gravitational effects on normal matter. In a recent study at Cornell University, researchers have drawn attention to the possible existence of “stupendously large black holes”, or SLABs, which […]

Birds need to refuel occasionally during their long migrations and if food along the way is in short supply some don’t make it. However, mass deaths caused by starvation during the flight have generally been pretty rare. That is, until this year. Thousands of birds migrating from the Arctic tundra […]

The search for alien life in the universe usually focuses on exoplanets orbiting around distant suns, but a new theory proposed by researchers in New York suggests an extreme form of ‘nuclear life’ may be living inside stars. While constantly scanning the skies for Earth-like planets inhabiting the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ […]
Swedish researchers have successfully created an out-of-body experience in which they “swapped participants’” bodies, drastically changing their perceptions of themselves while also interfering with their ability to make memories. The team from the Brain, Body, and Self Laboratory led by Henrik Ehrsson took 33 pairs of friends and “swapped” their […]
Scientists at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (NRNU MEPhI) have been the first to demonstrate an increase in quantum dots’ intensity and emission rate. According to the authors of the study, the development can help solve one of the key problems in creating a quantum computer and elevate biomedical […]
Scientists at England’s University of Warwick recently announced they had discovered 50 new exoplanets by using a machine learning program to sift through mountains of data collected by satellite observatories. According to a group of scientists at the University of Warwick and London’s Alan Turing Institute, artificial intelligence designed by […]
Scientists at Tyumen State University, as part of an international collaboration with Professor Sajikumar Sreedharan’s lab at the National University of Singapore, have managed to improve the system of biological utilisation of “garbage” in neurons to restore memory. According to the researchers, this will help treat Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease […]
2020 Democrat nominee Joe Biden on Friday told ABC reporter David Muir that he would shut down the entire country to stop the spread of COVID-19 if the scientists recommended. Biden called for a mandatory nationwide mask mandate during his unhinged Democrat nomination acceptance speech in Delaware. “I would shut […]

A surprisingly small active black hole located 15,000 light-years away is lighting up a neighboring gas cloud to a specific, shared rhythm, in a strange but fascinating phenomenon. The black hole system in question is called SS 433 and is considered a Microquasar: the black hole measures between 10 and […]
The unique tremor appeared to have turned around at some point near the fault zone and gone back with phenomenally increased velocity. Scientists have found evidence of a one-of-a-kind “boomerang” earthquake – a “back-propagating supershear rupture” that shook vast swathes of underwater terrain in the Atlantic Ocean near the equator […]
Over seven months after the novel coronavirus went global, the United States still isn’t testing enough people. Nor is the U.S. delivering results quickly enough to provide meaningful disease surveillance. But virologists Dave O’Connor and Chris Mason had a simple idea for loosening up the testing logjam: pack vans with […]
