China claims it successfully cloned 3 ‘super cows.’ According to CBS News, Chinese scientists said they have successfully cloned three "super cow" calves that, once fully grown, are capable of producing 50% more milk than the average American cow. The cloning experiment began last year at Northwest University of Agricultural and Forestry Science and Technology in Shaanxi, … [Read more...] about Chinese Scientists Create Three Super Cows From Cloning

Scientists In France Have Discovered A Giant Femur From A Dinosaur
A massive dinosaur thigh bone was discovered by researchers in south-western France at an excavation site that has produced fossils for almost ten years. The Angeac femur, which measured two meters (6.6 feet) in length, is believed to have belonged to a sauropod, a plant-eating dinosaur with a long neck and tail. One of the biggest land animals to ever exist was the … [Read more...] about Scientists In France Have Discovered A Giant Femur From A Dinosaur
Scientists Discover a 319-Million-Year-Old Fossilized Brain
The brain has been hidden inside a fossil fish skull and is now revealing animal evolution secrets. A fish died a long time ago, was buried in sediments, and eventually became fossilized. It is now the focus of a study that reveals "the oldest example of a well-preserved vertebrate brain" 319 million years later. Rodrigo Figueroa, a doctoral student at the University of … [Read more...] about Scientists Discover a 319-Million-Year-Old Fossilized Brain
Scientists Resurrect 48,500-Year-Old “Zombie Virus” Buried in Ice
Scientists have long warned that the release of previously trapped greenhouse gases, such as methane, caused by the permafrost thawing brought on by atmospheric warming will worsen climate change. Researchers who revived nearly two dozen viruses, including one that was frozen under a lake more than 48,500 years ago, believe that the thawing of ancient permafrost caused by … [Read more...] about Scientists Resurrect 48,500-Year-Old “Zombie Virus” Buried in Ice
A Scientists Successfully Sequence the DNA of Man From the Pompeii Eruption for the First Time
Thousands of lives were changed forever in 79 CE when Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying Pompeii under 23 feet of ash and debris. Over 2,000 people died in the disaster, many of whom were trapped inside their homes. For the first time, researchers have fully sequenced the DNA of a single victim. We now have a better understanding of the people who lived in Pompeii as a result of … [Read more...] about A Scientists Successfully Sequence the DNA of Man From the Pompeii Eruption for the First Time
