Scientists at the Paleogene Science Center in Stockholm, Sweden, this week released a study About a cave lion cub that was found after being frozen for 28,000 years in Siberia.The animal’s corpse, found between 2017 and 2018, is called Sparta. Scientists believe it could be the same age as another lion found around the same time, Boris, dead 43,000 years ago. According to CNN, the age difference of 15,000 years will be an opportunity to study the evolution of species that became extinct 14,000 years ago.In the photographs published by the lead author of the study, the preservation of Sparta…

Willowicia plants have only two leaves that constantly elongate in a life cycle that scientists estimate to be up to 3,000 years. Her genes could help grow stronger crops in the context of global warming. Willowicia, known as the “desert octopus,” is one of the oldest and most famous plants on the planet that lives in the arid Namib Desert, between Angola and Namibia. Its name in Afrikaans is “tweeblaarkanniedood”, which means “two leaves that never die”. study published Recently in Nature Communications he reveals some of the genetic secrets of Welwitschia. “This plant can live thousands of years and…

NASA completed in California (USA), the construction of the supersonic aircraft X-59, nicknamed “Son of Concorde”. With technology that silences the bangs of supersonic aircraft, the space agency will launch its first test flight next year.The US space agency has shared a time-lapse video of the plane’s construction, which has been taking place since 2019 at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works warehouses in Palmdale, California. The vessel is built with Quiet SuperSonic technology, which makes it possible to silence the sonic boom it produces while cruising at 925 mph (about 1,500 km/h). The speed of sound is 1234 km /…
