Several greenhouse gases are emitted as common plastics degrade in the environment, according to researchers from the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology(SOEST). Mass production of plastics started nearly 70 years ago, and the production rate is expected to double over the next two decades. While serving many applications because of their ...
After wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1990s, some scientists thought the large predator reestablished a “landscape of fear” that caused elk, the wolf’s main prey, to avoid risky places where wolves killed them. This fueled the emerging idea that predators affect prey populations and ecosystems by eating prey animals and scaring ...
When India became independent from British rule in 1947, the country’s education was abysmal. Over 60 years since independence, the hard work and perseverance of the people have ensured that more than 75 percent of children aged 7-10 have been educated to some degree.

The Higgs field is like an endless ocean through which all matter swims. Some particles are like sponges and sop up mass as they lumber along, while others are as sprightly as tiny minnows and dart right through. The Higgs theory is a beautifully simple explanation as to why some particles are massive while others ...
Latest research finds plant debris in lake sediment affects the methane greenhouse gas emissions. The flourishing reed beds created by changing climates could threaten to double the already significant methane production of the world’s northern lakes. A new study of chemical reactions that occur when organic matter decomposes in freshwater lakes has revealed that the ...
The largest high mountain lake in Taiwan, Cueifong Lake (翠峰湖), is situated in Taipingshan National Forest Recreation Area (太平山國家森林遊樂區) between Taipingshan (太平山) and Tayuan Mountain (大元山) in northern Taiwan. At an elevation of 1,840 meters, the area of the lake can spread to 25 hectares during the rainy season from September to November. Please watch ...
For centuries, the prevailing science has indicated that all of the nitrogen on Earth available to plants comes from the atmosphere. But a study from the University of California, Davis, indicates that more than a quarter comes from Earth’s bedrock. The study, to be published April 6 in the journal Science, found that up to 26 ...
A new study has rediscovered fossil collections from a 19th century hermit that validate phantom fossil footprints collected in the 1950s showing dicynodonts coexisting with dinosaurs. Before the dinosaurs, around 260 million years ago, a group of early mammal relatives called dicynodonts were the most abundant vertebrate land animals. These bizarre plant-eaters with tusks and ...
In the advent of making Indians go cashless, PayPal is strengthening its foothold in the Indian market at the right time. While PayPal was recently launched for domestic operations in India in November 2017, it has been available for Indian users since 2011, albeit with a per transaction limit. On the other hand, PayPal was ...
India’s auto industry is set to start a new chapter in its 67-year-old journey. To reduce vehicular pollution and traffic congestion, the government of India has issued policies and set out strict rules for auto manufacturers to shift to a 100 percent production of electric vehicles by 2030. This shift is not only restricted to ...
