I disagree, just look at the legs of the woman in the first video. First she seems to be limping, than the legs rotate. The mammoth are totally uncanny for me as its both running and walking at the same time. Don't get me wrong, it is

Or you are observing evolution in action. A bioluminescent spider would likely be an easy target for birds or bats. One by the lamp is not because hunters have simply not adapted yet. Or maybe, spider webs used to be enormous and profitable

I am not sure what I expected, but when I visited it ~10 years ago, it was surprisingly unspectacular. Just an open-door university building with a small hallway. On the wall a glass cabinet with the experiment&camera, and a few texts.

I have no idea above this, but aren't there plants growing on permafrost? As permafrost only starts in a depth of a few inches, those plants may well enter permafrost if they are in the ground above and slowly get submerged more and mo

For me, being listed as a contributor to Ingenuity is one of the highlights of my career in software development. I mean, I just fixed a bug in some python library, but that was enough to get the GitHub Ingenuity badge. And when ever I am a

Too bad the article doesn't cover the relationship with nutrient depletion. After all, nutrients taken up by their kelp won't make other algae grow. Given that ocean fertilization experiments have such big, unknown consequences (s
