Scientists Revive ‘Zombie Virus’ Which Was Frozen Under Permafrost For 48,500 Years
How about NOPE?! 😲 Scientists are worried that a ‘zombie virus’ which spent 48,500 years frozen in permafrost in Siberia has been revived. French scientist Jean-Michel Claverie tested earth samples taken from permafrost to see whether any viral particles it contained were still infectious. He managed, in 2014, to revive a virus isolated from the permafrost, making it … [Read more...] about Scientists Revive ‘Zombie Virus’ Which Was Frozen Under Permafrost For 48,500 Years
Newly Discovered Gold-Throated Hummingbird Hybrid Stuns Scientists
In a surprising discovery, scientists have found a new hybrid species of hummingbird with never-before-seen characteristics. The hybrid bird has a gold-colored throat and is believed to be a cross between two species of hummingbirds - the Amazilia luciae and the Amazilia tzacatl. The new species was discovered by Alejandro Rico-Guevara, a biologist at the University of … [Read more...] about Newly Discovered Gold-Throated Hummingbird Hybrid Stuns Scientists
Scientists Accidentally Discover Weight Loss Therapy After Mice Start Sweating Fat From Their Skin
Accidental discoveries have led to some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in history, such as penicillin. And it seems that researchers from the University of Pennsylvania may have stumbled upon a new weight loss therapy purely by chance. While initially seeking a treatment for type 2 diabetes, the team found that a cytokine called thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) … [Read more...] about Scientists Accidentally Discover Weight Loss Therapy After Mice Start Sweating Fat From Their Skin
Scientists Think They Have Found The Maximum Human Lifespan
The desire for eternal life has long been a subject of fascination and speculation for humans throughout history. But despite significant advancements in medicine and technology, it seems that our natural lifespan is limited after all. Recent research conducted by Dutch statisticians has put the maximum human lifespan at 115.7 years for women and 114.1 years for men, consistent … [Read more...] about Scientists Think They Have Found The Maximum Human Lifespan
