Nearly 20,000 previously unknown deep-sea mountains are revealed by satellite data.

Nearly 20,000 previously unknown deep-sea mountains are revealed by satellite data. Satellite measurements have revealed 20,000 previously unknown seamounts, which are as tall as the tallest mountains on land. They are rich in marine life due to their diversity of environments and upwelling of nutrient-rich water.

Black holes eliminate paradoxes by annihilating quantum states.

Black holes eliminate paradoxes by annihilating quantum states. Experts warn against doing quantum experiments in close proximity to black holes due to their existence destroying all local quantum states. A thought experiment revealed that any quantum experiment performed close to a black hole could create a paradox in which the black hole discloses knowledge ab...

Scientists may have found a potential solution to treat respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a severe respiratory infection that primarily affects infants and elderly people. The virus was discovered in 1957 and is highly contagious to people of all ages, with an estimated 33 million children less than five years of age being infected with RSV every year. Though there are no antiviral drugs designed specifically for RSV, researchers have developed vaccines and monoclonal antibodies that have shown promise in preventing severe illness caused by RSV. Some of these vaccines and antibodies are currently under testing or awaiting approval by regulatory authorities. While the virus remains a major concern, precautions such as social isolation and mask use have led to the eradication of RSV during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the virus has reemerged in the summer of 2021, and the efficacy of vaccines and therapies under development in the autumn may help reduce hospitalizations and fatalities caused by RSV.

Our current understanding of RSV vaccinations and antibodies is as follows:

Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead to preserve their "ka" or life energy for the afterlife. Mummification was a multi-stage process involving the removal of organs, desiccation with natron, and wrapping with linen bandages. The Great Pyramids of Giza were built as tombs for pharaohs. Modern scientists study mummies to learn about ancient Egyptian culture and the health of the mummified person. In an experiment, you can mummify a hot dog using baking soda as a desiccant, and recognize when it has become a mummy by its dryness.

The art and science of mummification: taking care of your mummies The definition of a mummy is a body whose skin and flesh have been preserved by chemicals or exposure to the environment. It was first developed in ancient Egypt around 3500 B.C., but earlier examples have been discovered in Pakistan and Chile.

Chinese scientists discover plastic trash chemically attached to rocks.



Scientists have discovered thin layers of plastic garbage chemically attached to rocks, which they believe represents a new kind of plastic pollution. They found plastic bottle tops, earrings, and other forms of trash attached to sedimentary rocks in Brazil, which they named anthropoquinas. They also discovered "plastiglomerates," created when molten plastic binds together natural and man-made objects. Experts say that plastics have become a component of Earth's geology, and that people are producing new geological records. The discovery is concerning as the plastic may release microplastics into the atmosphere and harm plants and animals. The research is also seen as evidence that people have significantly altered Earth's geology since the twentieth century, potentially warranting the establishment of a new geological period called the Anthropocene.

Blood clots don't form in hibernating bears. Scientists have now figured out why However, scientists have found that during hibernation, bears produce more of a protein called PAI-1, which prevents blood clots from forming. Additionally, they produce less of another protein called tPA, which dissolves blood clots.
