Deep Diving Scientists Discover Bubbling CO2 Hotspot
AUSTIN, Texas — Diving 200 feet under the ocean surface to conduct scientific research can lead to some interesting places. For University of Texas at Austin Professor Bayani Cardenas, it placed him in the middle of a champagne-like environment of bubblin
Gravity: We might have been getting it wrong this whole timeThe pair then showed how quantum error correcting codes, which explain how three-dimensional gravitational phenomena pop out from two dimensions, like holograms, are not compatible with any symmetry; meaning such symmetry cannot be possible in quantum gra
Why is climate skepticism so successful in the United States?
2019 is set to be the second warmest year on record, ending the warmest decade on record, another reminder that climate change is the defining issue of our time. Yet 2019 will not be remembered as the year when the world finally united to save the planet

Has been greening for 3 decades
While it is widely reported how the world’s rainforests are being chopped down, Wissenschaft reports, “Vegetation on earth has been expanding for decades, satellite data show.”
Yes, the planet is in fact greening, and
Evidence for anisotropy of cosmic accelerationThe observed acceleration of the Hubble expansion rate has been attributed to a mysterious "dark energy" which supposedly makes up about 70% of the universe. Professor Subir Sarkar from the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics, Oxford along with

Researchers say the discovery could be used to treat osteoarthritis and could one day, with the development of a 'molecular cocktail', allow humans to regrow limbs

An unknown, mysterious mass has been found beneath a crater on the moon, according to researchers at Baylor University—and it may give scientists clues into how the moon was shaped.
IT'S a question as old as Adam and Eve: Are men and women wired differently?
A new study finally confirms that the sexes really do have different brains, and suggests these variations start in the womb.

“Scotty” lived in prehistoric Saskatchewan 66 million years ago. The bones of the 13-metre long dinosaur were discovered during a dig in the province in 1991.
Quick: Which planet is closest to Earth? Ask an astronomer or a search engine, and you’ll probably hear that though the situation changes frequently, Venus is the closest when averaged over time. Several educational websites, such as The Planets and Space

NASA is embarking on the creation of its new Lunar Gateway, a space station it plans to send into orbit around the moon starting in 2022.

The Arch Mission Foundation (AMF) created the Lunar Library, a 30-million-page long compendium of humanity’s greatest cultural offerings, encoded it on a specially designed disc meant to last a billion years, and sent it to the moon to keep it safe.

The brains of two genetically edited girls born in China last year may have been changed in ways that enhance cognition and memory, scientists say.
