Recent work based on a set of satellite measurements and field observations confirms the ability of boreal forests to modulate the reflectivity of low level clouds. However, this influence could moderate the future rise in temperatures on a continental scale. The results were published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience. Forests have diverse and varied […]

Scientists at the Harvard Chan School of Public Health reported that people who consume high amounts of olive oil can reduce the risk of premature death. This includes noncommunicable diseases, for example, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases and even some types of cancer. Likewise, the scientists also found that people with a higher consumption of olive oil […]

While studying whales aboard an icebreaker in Antarctica, German researchers stumbled upon a whole different treasure. At the bottom of the Weddell Sea, more than 300 meters deep, were indeed the outlines of thousands of icefish nests, each guarded by a ghostly-looking relative whose dark pectoral fins were spread like bat wings on a clutch […]

This phenomenon is believed to be related to the decrease in air pollution at the global level. In any case, this is what a new study is advancing, the results of […]

In a recent report, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) presents the scientific plan and rationale for a series of privately funded missions to search for signs of life in Venus’ atmosphere. The first of these missions could be launched as early as 2023. A few months ago, astronomers announced the possible […]

A new theory has emerged about a strange incident at the International Space Station in 2018, which suddenly revealed a hole in the wall of a Russian spacecraft. It was never clear how that gap got there, although several theories have already been circulated. Russian media now claim that the hole was deliberately made by […]

It also happens in Europe: we have made some “ugly messes” with the collection of the DNA of Roma people for research purposes. Because, digging a bit, it turns out that in the collection of this biological material from which we can read a huge amount of (strictly personal) information there have been many problems […]

If the Asian monsoon were to become deregulated in the decades to come, the origin could well be in the massive release of fresh water in the North Atlantic by the melting of Greenland. Indeed, researchers recently demonstrated how the disturbances initiated in the North Atlantic basin led in the past to a reorganization of […]

Currently, both the professional and amateur sports world is surrounded by a myriad of dietary proposals, which promise to greatly improve health. Although they are all focused on weight loss, many of them are not designed for patients with a specific disease such as cancer. Although there are several treatments to mitigate cancer, a cancer-preventive […]
