Researchers from European Southern Observatory announced their discoveries about a planet close to our solar system which may be similar to Earth in its conditions, with scientists holding a press conference at ESO headquarters in Garching near Munich, Wednesday. Reportedly, the star is the closest body in the space to Earth that might contain life forms. Dr. Ansgar Reiners stated that "the [turning] period is 11.2 days and the minimum mass of the planet is 1.3 Earth masses."
Scientists from China and United States have discovered that the Earth’s inner core has another core at its centre.A research team, led by University of Illinois geology professor Xiaodong Song, gathered readings of seismic waves that resonate in an earthquake’s aftermath to probe far below the Earth’s surface, the university said in a statement.
The most earth like planet ever with an expectancy of Alien life has been discovered. Scientists announced that the planet is in a zone providing atmosphere just enough for life.
Scientists have discovered the largest species that has the ability to regrow limbs. According to Business Insider, it's the alligator. Like lizards, young American gators can regrow their tails up to 9 inches. Prof. Kenro Kusumi is a co-senior study author and the director of Arizona State University's School of Life Sciences. Kusumi began studying gator regrowth after receiving a package in the mail that contained a deformed alligator tail in a pickle jar with ethanol. The tail was discolored, forked, and the scales were smaller than normal. Kusumi realized that the tail looked like it had been regrown.
The late, great French biologist Louis Pasteur once said, 'Chance favors the prepared mind.' A group of Dutch cancer scientists says they've discovered a pair of salivary glands that absolutely no one had ever noticed before. CNN reports the glands are hidden away in the skull, where the nasal cavity and the throat meet. The cancer researchers first came across the body part during a scan designed to look for tumorous growths. The 'unknown entity' cannot be seen on X-rays, or in ultrasound, MRI scans, or PET scans. Rather, the glands can only be seen in a new, highly advanced type of scan called PSMA PET/CT The scientists, from the Netherlands Cancer Institute, propose naming them 'tubarial glands.'
