Scientists just discovered that there has been about 25 to 40% under-estimation of human contribution to methane in our atmosphere.
Naturally beautiful patterns emerged when two species of bacteria were cultured together.
At ultra-low temperatures, molecules have so little energy that, in effect, their reactivity is slowed down.
This gene called MLLT3 regulated the production of more than 800 proteins, many of which are essential for the maintenance of blood stem cells.
These rare plants were also found to be clustering in only a few regions on Earth.
