ఈనాడు ప్రత్యేక విభాగం నిత్యం మనం విచ్చలవిడిగా వాడేస్తున్న ప్లాస్టిక్‌ల వల్ల అనర్థాలు నానాటికీ పెరుగుతున్నాయి. వీటి నుంచి వెలువడే సూక్ష్మ రేణువులు ఇప్పటికే మానవ రక్తం, మెదడు [...]

Scientists have identified a new species of flying reptile preserved within fossilised dinosaur vomit, offering rare insights into predator–prey behaviour during the Cretaceous period. The unusual specimen, long stored in a Brazilian museum, has revealed remarkable details about tropical pterosaur diversity. Regurgitated Remains Uncover a Hidden Species The discovery comes from a fossil known as regurgitalite, preserved in the Museu Camara Cascudo in Brazil. The specimen contained [...]

In a surprising scientific discovery, researchers have identified a new extinct flying reptile species inside fossilised dinosaur vomit. The remains, known as "regurgitalite," have been stored for years in the Museu Camara Cascudo at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil. Although they had been kept safely in the museum, they were mostly ignored until now, reported Newsweek. This fossil was preserved with other specimens from the Araripe region, but its [...]

The pursuit of becoming a world-first fossil is one of dogged determination. The majority of life on Earth doesn’t get preserved, so you’ve got to die just right, bathed in just the right conditions. For one filter-feeding pterosaur, that meant spending an eternity encased in vomit. Yes, for the first time ever, an extinct species has been described locked inside a regurgitalite – the scientific name given to fossilized vomit. It’s a world-first in more ways than one, [...]

Insects that feed on starch can find veritable feasts in corn, pea, and bean crops or warehouses. It is no coincidence that the ancestors of these commercial plants developed α-amylase inhibitor proteins, which make the starch in their seeds indigestible to pests, keeping them from becoming serious threats. However, the domestication of wild plants by humans to increase productivity and digestibility may have reduced the presence of these inhibitors. Gene editing offers new pest [...]

Living with chronic pain on a daily basis impacts not only the body but also the mind and emotions. This is the reality for thousands of people with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), a condition affecting the joint responsible for opening and closing the mouth, as well as the chewing muscles. For these individuals, constant jaw, temple, facial, or ear pain; difficulty chewing; and headaches can affect their daily routine and mental health. A study conducted at the Ribeirão Preto [...]

Paleontologists have identified a new species of flying reptile, named Bakiribu waridza. The most compelling detail of the discovery is the origin of the fossil: it was found in a regurgitalite, or fossilized puke, left by an unknown predator. Surprisingly, the trace fossil preserved the remains of an entirely new pterosaur species that was consumed and then regurgitated indigestibly. The presence of the pterosaur remains within this regurgitalite provides rare direct evidence of a [...]

New research published in Scientific Reports has found that regular exercise paired with omega-3 supplementation can significantly enhance immune function and reduce the severity of chronic apical periodontitis, a type of inflammation that affects the tip of the tooth root. Apical periodontitis occurs when bacteria from untreated tooth decay spread through the root canal to the apex of the tooth (the root tip), triggering inflammation in the surrounding bone. This infection can gradually [...]

That golden field of sunflowers waving under the sun is more than just a pretty sight. It could be the source of your next burger-patty alternative. The humble sunflower seed, once stripped of its oil-rich kernel, has been transformed into a nutrient-dense flour that mimics meat’s texture and packs serious protein. Researchers collaborating across Brazil and Germany have developed this sunflower-based vegan meat alternative with promising results.A peer-reviewed study published in Food [...]
