Scientists Find a Massive Unknown Structure in Earth Using machine learning techniques, scientists have found a massive unknown structure in Earth. The structure is made out of an unknown dense material and was discovered at the boundary between Earth’s liquid outer core and mantel. Scientists used thirty years of earthquake data to discover the anomaly. The structure is an Ultra Low Velocity Zone, or ULVZ. It is an […] Brains Lynn Barlow | June 19, 2020 0 Comments
Scientists Stumble Upon Global “Plastic Cycle” in U.S. National Parks Scientists analyzing soil samples from U.S. National Parks, including the Grand Canyon and Joshua Tree, were shocked to recently discover a “global plastic cycle” akin to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The group of scientists, led by Janice Brahney, a biochemist from Utah State University, were examining how wind-blown dust delivers nutrients to distant ecosystems when they started to notice numerous […] Brains Galen Carrico | June 15, 2020 0 Comments
Scientists Reveal How Much Less Snow We’re Getting Due to Impacts of Climate Change If you’ve been suspicious that less and less snow has been falling in the U.S. and Canada in recent years, you’re not crazy — you’re right. RELATED: The Story of COVID-19 Will Be Told By Glaciers For Centuries to Come According to a new study published by climate scientists in Nature on Wednesday, North America has been seeing significantly less […] Weather WeatherBrains | May 22, 2020 0 Comments
Brain Post: Scientists Discover First Living Creature Without the Need to Breathe The most vital resource for any creature’s survival is oxygen. However, scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery supporting evidence that not all living beings need oxygen to exist. The microscopic salmon parasite, known as the Henneguya Salminicola, is the only known animal that does not require aerobic respiration. Containing no mitochondrial genome, the species cannot, even if it wanted to, breathe […] Brains Emily Crofton | February 28, 2020 3 Comments
Scientists Warn of the Dangers Between Mistaking COVID-19 for High Altitude Pulmonary Edema As the 2020 pandemic continues to escalate doctors are warning of the dangers of equating the coronavirus to High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE). While the symptoms of the two can be similar, the two are very different, and equating the two can be life-threatening. Both conditions can cause respiratory failure, trouble breathing, and extremely low oxygen levels in the blood, […] Industry News Ryan Flynn | February 1, 2020 0 Comments
Scientists Hoping Raft of Rocks Size of Manhattan Will Replenish Australia’s Great Barrier Reef A huge raft of rocks, the size of Manhattan, is floating towards Queensland, Australia carrying marine organisms that scientists are hoping will help replenish the Great Barrier Reef. The pumice was created when an underwater volcano erupted off Tonga and scientists are saying it will bring millions of new coral to the dying Great Barrier Reef.
