Experimental HIV vaccines are promising in early safety testing
The new HIV vaccine has promising research into laboratory animals and human volunteers, pointing to potential ways to prevent lifelong viral diseases. These experimental vaccines are built on mRNA technology, and in these early tests it causes several powerful immune responses and few side effects. Scientists described the new vaccine in a pair of studies […]
Russian volcanoes will explode in “strong” eruptions and are likely to be strengthened by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake
Kraichevskoy volcano in eastern Russia began erupting shortly after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake and several aftershocks shaking the same area. The geophysical center of the Russian Academy of Sciences states, “We will observe a fall in hot lava on the western slope,” in a translated post on the messaging app Telegram on Wednesday (July […]
Even a slight slowdown in major Atlantic currents poses “amazing risks” to rainforests
Even a slight slowdown to one of Earth’s major ocean currents could almost halve the rainfall of some of the planet’s rainforests and fuel droughts that could accelerate climate change, new research warns. The Atlantic Meridian Surrounding Circulation (AMOC), including the Gulf Stream, plays an important stabilization role in the surrounding Earth climate. However, many […]
A huge hidden flood explodes through the surface of Greenland’s ice sheet
Scientists have discovered previously collected floods under the Greenland ice sheet. This was spilled by force that could break through nearly 300 feet of solid ice. This phenomenon occurred in 2014, causing 24 billion gallons (90 billion liters) of meltwater, punching it out of a glacial lake beneath the ice sheet. This is the first […]
Roman era, naturally protected on three sides by deep natural valleys excavated in Croatia
Croatian archaeologists have excavated the remains of a 1,800-year-old watchtower, built to protect the “Lyme,” the border along the Danube River, where the Romans marked the frontier of the Roman Empire. Roman artifacts revealed on the site, including military equipment, brooches and ceramics, show that watchtowers were built in advertisements in the second half of […]
Archaeologists discover centuries-old “white jaguar land” in Mexico
Archaeologists believe they discovered the remains of a Mayan rebel base from Mexico centuries ago. The city of Sac Baran, or “The Land of White Jaguars,” was home to the Mayan Lacandon Charles people who resisted Spanish conquest and are known today as the last Mayan rebels of Chaipas, a modern southern Mexican nation. The […]
This whole year-round structure over the last 200 years could be feeding the heart of the Galaxy.
Astronomers discover vast gas and dust clouds for an astonishing 200 light years, lurking in a milky, unexplored area. The structure named Midpoint Cloud is an example of a giant molecular cloud (GMC). It was discovered by the team using Green Bank Telescope. Peeling off the midpoint cloud layers, they found dynamic areas containing several […]
Yellowstone teenager
A teenager hiking the Yellowstone trail burned his feet and ankles badly on Monday (July 28) after breaking a thin crust and landing in the waters of his scalp. The incident took place in a thermal area near Lone Star Geiser. This is an old, faithful 12 feet (3.6 meters) high cone layer that gushes […]
Universal “cancer vaccines” heading for human testing could be useful for “all forms of cancer”
Universal cancer vaccines under development may help revive the immune system against tumors and outweigh the effects of existing cancer treatments, animal studies suggest. Like vaccines for viral infections such as influenza, many cancer vaccines are designed to help the immune system recognize certain proteins. However, while traditional vaccines aim to prevent disease, cancer vaccines […]
Watch as 1,000 baby spiders devour their mothers and aunts.
The filmmakers filmed the first unparalleled spine chilled footage of a young spider cannibalizing his mother and other elderly relatives. In the video, more than 1,000 young African social spiders (Stegodyphus dumicola) creep out of their nest in search of their next meal. Young people appear to be playing an eerie game of “Statue” when […]
