May 23, 2018 Posted by Amelia Donovan

When looking at each species’ dry biomass, humans account for just 0.01% or one ten-thousandth of life on our planet. But humanity was able to push 85% of mammal species into extinction, according to a global census. The most biomass on Earth is made of plants, which outweigh humanity by 1 human to 7,500 plants. Plants also account for 80% of total biomass on the Blue Planet, according to new … [Read more...]

Two spiral galaxies

A new Penn State study suggests that some of the largest black holes in the universe are rapidly outgrowing the galaxies that host them. Supermassive black holes are those that are millions of times more massive than our sun. Past studies showed that these monster black holes grow at the same pace as the galaxies they call their home. However, new data from the NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory … [Read more...]

The study was published in the journal eLife. Scientists at the US-based Calico Life Sciences LLC praised the … [Read more...]

Scientists:As Earth is Slowing Down, More Earthquakes are Looming

November 20, 2017 Posted by Amelia Donovan

Earthquake aftermath

A group of scientists warns that a slowing-down of the planet’s rotation could lead to a surge in devastating earthquakes in 2018. Researchers predict that the tropical regions which are also heavily populated could be the worst hit. Even though the changes in rotation and length of the day are relatively tiny – around a millisecond- the implications on a tectonic level could be huge. In … [Read more...]
