A Bizarre New Humpback Whale Behavior Dubbed “Gaping” Leaves Scientists Baffled

New research into how the Great Pyramid of Giza was built may offer clues about a mysterious void within Egypt’s largest monument.

Over 5 million years ago, the Colorado River disappeared from the geological record, but now geologists have finally solved the mystery.

Scientists at Keele University have created the first detailed map of the genetic “switches” that control reproduction in disease-carrying insects such as Anopheles gambiae, the mosquito species most responsible for malaria transmission, paving the way for more effective methods of genetically controlling these insects.

April 26 marks the 40th anniversary of the explosion at Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine. The accident caused the largest ever release of radioactive material into the environment, and at the time people predicted that the affected area would be rendered uninhabitable, devoid of life for thousands of years.
