For one suspended instant, our restless, tilted planet was perfectly balanced relative to its…
For millions of years of existence, dinosaurs’ extinction was not as a result of their size, strength, or ferocity, but because the way their eggs were formed was a disadvantage to the species. Today, birds have evolved into masters of incubation, but new research published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution revealed that…
One might envision a microscopic creature with its very own built-in engine, an engine whose power is fueled by something surprisingly similar to the power of rocket fuel. Scientists have now discovered exactly that inside malaria-carrying parasites. It is a fascinating look into the ways in which these deadly creatures live. It is a discovery…

Reverberant sounds made in an empty environment are the result of sound waves bouncing off hard, flat surfaces, as governed by basic principles of the science of physical acoustics. When completed, the energy of the sound wave travels through space until it meets some boundary surface. In a furnished environment (e.g., living room with furniture),…
