According to scientists, the percentage of carbon in the core can be from 0.3 to 2%

What do we know about glaciers? These are chunks of ice that have been forming over thousands of years. At first glance, it seems that there can be no question of life in them, since no organism can withstand such extreme conditions

Neuroscientists have used classical mathematics to look into the structure of our brains. They found that it is full of multidimensional geometric shapes working in 11 dimensions

Scientists have found that the reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is a cyclical phenomenon and occurs every 200 million years, which means that another “coup” awaits us - much to the concern of scientists who are not sure how this will affect

About 3.5 billion years ago, life on Earth began from molecular origins and has evolved over time into the impressive array of creatures we know today. This is the modern line of reasoning. But we still do not have a clear definition

Researchers in Australia have developed a device that monitors millions of qubits. This is one of the main challenges on the road to creating full-fledged processors for a quantum computer, capable of fault-tolerant operation

From the ancient catacombs to modern metros, people have always moved underground for short periods of time. But did entire societies of people live underground? Yes, but historically only in emergencies and when they had no other choice. However, in the last days

It is believed that one of the most remarkable effects of lifelong meditation may be the relatively slow aging process of the body. The death of the Tibetan Buddhist monk Geshe Lhundub Sopa on August 28, 2

Viruses that have dormant in frozen soils for millennia may reappear on the surface as a result of global warming. Drilling ice in the High North risks awakening microbes buried millions of years ago. They will be in direct contact with

The schedule of the project of conquest of the moon by American astronauts has once again been adjusted

The intestinal nervous system (enteric nervous system) is often called the "second brain" because it works as hard as the brain or spinal cord. Scientists have finally been able to figure out exactly how the neurons in the intestine push food, and from what

Imagine that you are creating a timeline of the entire history of your country, starting from the moment it was founded. It wouldn't be an easy task, but imagine taking a few steps further. Instead of a timeline for one country like in
