A comprehensive study analyzing growth rates of more than 20,000 tropical trees across 36 countries has revealed that, although droughts over the past century have had minimal effects on tree growth, this resilience could diminish as climate change progresses. Published in the journal Science , the findings suggest that while tropical forests have shown surprising resilience to intermittent droughts, increasing global temperatures and the frequency of droughts may significantly affect their [...]

A groundbreaking study from a team of physicists at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil has introduced a new theoretical framework aimed at enhancing the search for dark matter. The research, recently published in the Journal of High Energy Physics, centers on inelastic particles that interact with ordinary matter through an innovative type of force carrier. Central to this model is a massive vector boson that paves the way for interactions between dark matter and visible matter. Ana [...]

A living fossil fish just proved we've misunderstood a major chapter in the story of evolution. For decades, the coelacanth — an ancient fish species that first appeared 400 million years ago — was thought to be a window into our evolutionary past. But now, scientists say they may have gotten some big things wrong about how early animals, including humans, developed the ability to eat and breathe. What’s So Special About the Coelacanth? The coelacanth (pronounced [...]

ब्राजील के अमेजन जंगल में खासकर आग के कारण, इसके क्षरण या तेजी से नष्ट होने से 2022 से 2024 तक पेड़ों के काटे जाने में हुई बहुत बड़ी कमी को ढक दिया है। बायोम की सुरक्षा में यह बुरा संतुलन जलवायु संकट से [...]

The coelacanth, often referred to as a "living fossil," has intrigued scientists due to its unchanged anatomy over the past 65 million years. A recent comprehensive study published in the journal Science Advances by researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) and the Smithsonian Institution sheds new light on the evolutionary significance of this ancient fish. This investigation challenges previous assumptions about its cranial musculature and enhances our understanding [...]

New insights into the elusive nature of dark matter have emerged from a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil. Despite the established understanding that dark matter constitutes approximately 27% of the universe, its true nature remains a mystery. Current models attempting to describe dark matter have largely been unsuccessful, prompting scientists to seek new theoretical frameworks. The study introduces an inelastic dark matter [...]

A groundbreaking study has emerged from a collaboration between researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Smithsonian Institution in the United States, challenging long-accepted notions in vertebrate evolution. The focus of their investigation was the coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), a fish often referred to as a “living fossil,” whose anatomy has puzzled scientists for decades. Long believed to possess specific muscles for the expansion of its [...]

A groundbreaking study has shed new light on the anatomical evolution of the coelacanth, a fish often referred to as a “living fossil” due to its remarkably unchanged anatomy over the past 65 million years. Researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil, collaborating with scientists from the Smithsonian Institution, have revealed unexpected insights into the cranial musculature of the African coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae), challenging long-held beliefs [...]

While Brazil also recorded a significant drop in Amazon deforestation in 2022-2024, forest degradation grew by 163% in the same years, much of it being driven by extensive fires. Deforestation's expansion is threatening national and global climate targets despite there being an effort to safeguard the biome before the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) that is scheduled to happen in November in Belém, Brazil. Degradation of forest is 44% higher between 2023 and 2024 [...]
