The idea that aliens assisted the builders of ancient ruins was proposed by Swiss author Erich von Däniken in his 1968 bestseller, Chariots of the Gods. Von Däniken passed away in […]
The secret weapon to combat carbon emissions has been discovered: beaver

Beaver dams and ponds can turn stream channels into annual net carbon sinks, capturing more carbon than they release in a year, a new study finds. The discovery has major implications for the reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver (castor fiber) across Europe, after it was hunted to the brink of extinction for centuries. If similar […]
