A study published in “Nature” in February highlights the importance of research into the oral microbiome, and how regular dental care affects its diversity.
In a study published in “Science Advances” on Feb. 20, 2020, researchers focused on the behaviors of Denosovians and Neanderthals – looking approximately 700,000 years ago- to learn about the human-like beings that may have mated with the distant ancestors of present-day humans.
The extinction of Wrangel Island mammoths was likely caused by genetic mutations that these animals lived with.

A computational biologist and science illustrator has painted a coronavirus, and recently revealed his creation, which shows the coronavirus as it entered the lungs.
If you’ve ever wondered what your organs look like from the inside, researchers have figured out a way to see that. Researchers in Germany have found a way to see the inside of human organs without slicing the tissue to create their three dimensional models. That method is known as 3DISCO, or 3D Imaging of Solvent-Cleared Organs.
There are thousands of space satellites floating in the skies, but only a fraction of them are still operational. The media has reported on the damage these satellites have done to astronomy, but with so many companies launching even more satellites to provide 5G coverage, there’s something people need to think about: What happens when space junk collides with other space junk?
According to José Ferreira and Leonardo Kerber, researchers at the Federal University of Santa Maria in Brazil, there was once a giant rodent in South America that was the size of a Saint Bernard dog, but with a brain no bigger than a golf ball.

A University of California Berkeley scientist says we’re more likely to find evidence of intelligent extraterrestrials before bacteria in the soil on Mars or other planets.
If you’re hoping to better understand people, their facial expressions may not be as reliable of an indicator of someone’s emotional state, according to new study by researchers at Ohio State University and other organizations.
