Hidden deep beneath the ocean’s surface, a bizarre shark species has just shattered scientific records with a jaw-dropping feeding strike unlike anything ever seen.

Scientists studying fossils from Ethiopia’s Afar Rift have uncovered evidence of another early human species which lived around the same time as Lucy, roughly 3.4 million years ago.

A research team has managed to “bottle” a highly reactive carbene in water, overturning a major assumption in chemistry. Chemists have pulled off a feat long considered impossible: they created a normally ultra-reactive molecule called a carbene and kept it s…

The team found nine "events" which they investigated further. Meanwhile, another team looked at the "non-gravitational" acceleration of the comet, finally pinning down a better estimate of its size.

During mating season, when male white-tailed deer want to get noticed by the opposite sex and warn off rivals, they rub their antlers against trees and scrape the forest floor. Then they pee on these patches. But there is more to these physical and scent mark…
