With new technology paving the way for more intensive sustainable farming, like the use of monocultures and commercial forestry, a new study has revealed that honeybees are finding it harder to fight off diseases and to store food. As our global population increases, we are finding new and more landscape changing ways to ensure we…

After new observations, researchers have discovered that, when provided with them, chimpanzees can use tools spontaneously and correctly to solve problems. As a race, we often deliberate over Darwin’s theory of evolution and our biological history with apes. Partnered with the University of Tuibigen, Germany, observations were conducted to track the use of tool-like behaviours…
Scientists have detected a black hole 100,000 times bigger than the size of our sun, at the heart of the Milky Way. Using a radio telescope’s intense resolution and revolutionising sensitivity called the Alma, Japanese astronomers could detect it residing in a cloud of molecular dust. The astronomers, at a site in the Andes, northern…

One stem cell would make the foetus and the other, the placenta….
