Monster Millipede: Was the monster bug real? Scientists discover a 326-million-year-old millipede bus-sized fossil that predates dinosaurs

A colossal millipede, Arthropleura, once roamed Earth 326 million years ago, predating dinosaurs. A 2018 fossil discovery revealed this arthropod, estimated to be 8.8 feet long and weighing 50 kg. These giant invertebrates inhabited ancient coastal woodlands, feeding on available vegetation and possibly smaller creatures. Imagine a world where the ground was dotted with creatures…

Not all snakes slither: Scientists explain the strange straight-line movement of some species |

People usually assume that all snakes move with serpentine locomotion, using S-shaped movements to propel themselves. However, not all snakes move in such a way. There is another type of locomotion peculiar to many snake species, including such snakes as boas, pythons, and vipers, which are known for their large body mass. Rectilinear locomotion is…

Scientists explore whether quantum physics could allow messages to travel back in time |

It looks like time travel, closed timelike curves, quantum mechanics, and quantum entanglement are once again at the centre of discussions among scientists who recently came up with a new way to send signals from the present into the past. According to some scientists working on quantum communication and spacetime geometry, information can potentially be…

Why cats get bored with food faster than you think.jpg

Scientists explain why your cat suddenly walks away from food halfway through, then comes back minutes later |

Why cats get “bored” with food faster than you think? Image credit – Gemini Cat owners might relate how their fur babies keep showing puzzling habits every now and then. A common scenario is when the cat starts eating, stops midway, and leaves. After taking a brief pause, the cat returns and continues eating. Any…

In 2021, scientists detected an untraceable signal over Utah that led to one of the strongest cosmic ray mysteries ever recorded |

A single particle over Utah pointed to a cosmic ray with no clear origin. Image credit – Gemini One of the strongest cosmic rays in history was detected in May of 2021 in Utah. Amaterasu hit Earth’s atmosphere and caused a big shower of secondary particles. By 2023, scientists had determined that it was the…

Earth’s tectonic plate is cracking beneath Cascadia Subduction Zone – scientists spot a ‘slow-motion train wreck’ |

A groundbreaking study in Science Advances reveals that Earth’s tectonic plates are breaking apart under the Cascadia subduction zone. Geologists from Louisiana State University and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory used high-resolution seismic imaging, similar to an ‘ultrasound’ of the Earth. They noticed the Juan de Fuca plate is fracturing into smaller pieces as it sinks…

Millions of graphene toothbrushes sold worldwide: Scientists reveal why people are buying them |

Millions of graphene-based toothbrushes have already reached consumers, long before scientists fully understood how the material actually works. Now, new research from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has clarified the mechanism behind graphene oxide’s antibacterial properties. Led by Sang Ouk Kim and Hyun Jung Chung, the study shows that graphene oxide…

Scientists reveal the real source of airborne microplastics and it’s not the ocean |

A new study by the Department of Meteorology and Geophysics at the University of Vienna has challenged many of the existing beliefs about where airborne microplastics originate from. In previous years, it was believed that most microplastics originated from the ocean, and this assumption has been refuted, based on a study published in Nature that…
