113-million-year-old ant found in Brazil oldest ever discovered
Publicado em 24 abril 2025A 113-million-year-old fossilized ant is the oldest ever discovered. The “remarkably well-preserved" hell ant was found in limestone in Brazil. Scientists say it is a member of Haidomyrmecinae - an extinct group that only lived during the Cretaceous period. They had highly specialized, "scythe-like" jaws that they probably used to pin or impale prey, according to a study published in the journal Current Biology. Study author Anderson Lepeco said: “Our team [...]ver notícia -

Eight or more alcoholic drinks a week more than doubles risk of brain damage
Publicado em 09 abril 2025Drinking eight glasses of wine or pints of beer a week more than doubles the risk of brain damage compared to teetotallers, suggests new research. Boozers who down eight or more alcoholic drinks every week have an increased risk of brain lesions associated with memory and thinking problems, say scientists. They explained that the condition, caused hyaline arteriolosclerosis, causes the small blood vessels to narrow, becoming thick and stiff - making it harder for blood to flow, which can [...]ver notícia -
