Why T. rex teeth were hidden all along, scientists reveal what are the major changes. Image credit – Gemini For many years, the depiction of Tyrannosaurus rex with exposed teeth, even when its mouth is shut, has dominated literature and cinema. This assumption has been used to create models for display purposes. Nevertheless, recent evidence…
The tool uncovered one of Canada’s oldest hunting technologies. Image credit – Wikimedia Cleaning up a family farm in Ontario unexpectedly resulted in an interesting discovery. While removing stones and other debris from the field, the family spotted some pieces of flint in the soil. Initially, the pieces looked ordinary. However, one piece caught their…
Scientists reveal why you yawn even when you’re not tired. Image credit – Gemini Yawning is among the most common human behaviours. Often associated with fatigue or boredom, this habit, however, triggers a hidden brain process. Scientists have long believed it plays a biological role.A recent study published in Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, however, found…

Buried beneath the sands…
The 2.5 billion-year-old geological feature that exists in the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe is one geological feature whose importance has been recognised following an examination of it based on satellite imaging and geophysics mapping courtesy of NASA. The huge igneous formation existing in Zimbabwe provides important information about the early geology of the Earth, the…
According to Kepler observations, the most abundant kind of planets in the Milky Way is the super-Earths. These planets are larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, and they have been observed in many planetary systems of the galaxy. Super-earths range in size from 1 to 4 times larger than Earth and exist in many…
Scientists involved in planetary formation studies, meteorites, and early solar system investigations have been wondering about the origins of the ingredients that made up the planet Earth. Studies on carbonaceous chondrites, isotopic compositions, and planetary accretion have shown that the elements needed for life on Earth, such as carbon, water, and volatiles, could have come…
