New research by scientists from the University of Reading and the University of Durham shows that encephalization (i.e., relative brain size increase) across 7 million years of hominin evolution arose from increases within individual species. Modern humans, Neanderthals, and other recent relatives on the human family tree evolved bigger brains much more rapidly than earlier
The Linear Pottery Culture (Linearbandkeramik, LBK) communities, which were the first to spread farming across large parts of Europe, showed no signs of population stratification, according to new research led by University of Vienna and Harvard University scientists. Prehistoric Central European women’s manual labor was tougher than rowing in today’s boat crews. “The expansion of
European researchers have told pv magazine that hydrogen production costs are often underestimated in prefeasibility studies, while the South Korean authorities have reported a rise in deals for large-scale hydrogen consumption projects. November 29, 2024 Sergio Matalucci Image: pv magazine European researchers have concluded that relying on simulated data instead of measured data can underestimate
The newly-discovered exoplanet orbits TOI-3261 (also known as TIC 358070912), an inactive main-sequence star located 300 parsecs (978.5 light-years) away in the constellation of Hydrus. An artist’s concept of the ultrahot-Neptune exoplanet TOI-3261b. Image credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech / K. Miller, Caltech & IPAC. Named TOI-3261b (TIC 358070912b), the newfound exoplanet has a radius of
Drinking enough water can help with weight loss and prevent kidney stones, as well as migraines, urinary tract infections and low blood pressure, according to a new systematic review of 18 randomized clinical trials. In the systematic review of 18 randomized clinical trials, interventions of increased water intake (or decreased intake in one study) were
Paleoanthropologists have discovered 1.5-million-year-old footprints of two completely different species of hominins — Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei — at a same locality near Lake Turkana in Kenya. A 3D computerized model of the surface of the area near Lake Turkana in Kenya shows fossil footprints of Paranthropus boisei (vertical footprints) with separate footprints of
Aramco Partners with Gulf Cryo to Test Lower-Carbon Hydrogen Technologies Saudi oil giant Aramco has signed an agreement with Gulf Cryo to conduct testing of lower-carbon hydrogen and carbon capture & utilization technologies. Gulf Cryo, a regional leader of end-to-end industrial gases and decarbonization solutions in the MENAT region, will explore with Aramco how to
Delhi's Prashant Vihar witnessed another blast, just 40 days after an explosion at a nearby CRPF school. The detonation involved Cordtex, a slow-burning cord that can be ignited from a distance. Delhi Prashant Vihar blast: NSG and FSL teams investigate the explosion site in Delhi’s Prashant Vihar on Thursday. (ANI) Delhi’s Prashant Vihar area in
