A recent study shows the incredible diversity of evolution in amphibians. A tiny species called the glass frog can become almost invisible while sleeping. Its body becomes virtually undetectable: it casts no shadows and even has no blood inside. How does it do it? By enlarging its liver by over 40% to accommodate 89% of its blood cells.

We have been studying various life forms that intrigue us for centuries. The jaguar is one of them. Scientists thought they’d already discovered everything there was to know about the species. But it turns out that they’re mistaken. Recently, researchers have found out that these big cats can have friends and are far less solitary than initially thought. The discovery was published in a journal, called Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology....

A new and unusual species of bee was recently discovered in bushland in Perth, Western Australia. It has a wide dog-like snout, and this canine protrusion led scientists to name the species Leioproctus zephyr. It was named after the study author's pet dog Zephyr. The New Bee Was Named Zephyr The newly discovered bee species belongs to the genus Leioproctus, which consists of over 300 species of bees across temperate...

Europa is one of Jupiter’s moons and arguably the most interesting one for scientists because it holds the best prospects for extraterrestrial life in the Solar System. So, it was a great day for science when the Juno spacecraft recently made a flyby over the icy moon and took detailed images of its surface. Juno Took High-Resolution Photos of Europa The Juno spacecraft made the first close approach to Europa...

Scientists from the University at Buffalo have reversed the hallmarks of muscle cell aging by overexpression of a specific protein, known as NANOG. The findings show how the protein can achieve the reversal without reprogramming the cells to a more stem cell-like state. This has been the most common approach to cellular aging reversal in the past. A Protein to Reverse Muscle Cell Aging The study’s corresponding author Professor Stelios...
