In a sense, the extinct woolly mammoth has returned —as a meatball. On Tuesday, an Australian cultured meat start-up revealed a sphere of lab-grown meat, produced with a DNA sequence from the elephant-like mammal.
But you won’t find this product in grocery stores; the creation is not meant to be eaten, at least for now. Instead, the “mammoth meatball” aims to highlight the environmental impacts of standard agricultural practices and present cultured meat as a viable option for food production down the line.

The Mittani Empire’s urban center is revealed by a drought.
A 3400-year-old city from the Mittani Empire that was formerly situated on the Tigris River has been discovered by a group of German and Kurdish archaeologists.
Early this year, as a result of the severe drought in Iraq, a town erupted from the waters of the Mosul reservoir.
In order to figure out how English might evolve in the future, we have to look at how it has changed in the near and distant past.
The sounds emitted by plants are ultrasonic, beyond the hearing range of the human ear. Plant sounds are informative: mostly emitted when the plant is under stress, they contain information about its condition.
Geologists have confirmed that our world will be getting a brand new ocean according to new research published in the peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters.
There are a number of places on earth that remain shrouded in mystery, despite the best efforts of scientists to explain them. Some of these places are locations where strange things have happened for centuries, while others are relatively new. But one thing is for sure – they all remain a mystery.
Back in 1,883, a pretty agate mineral was registered to the Natural History Museum’s Mineralogy Collection. Around 15 centimeters (6 inches) across, almost completely spherical but otherwise unassuming, the specimen has remained in the collection for the last 175 years, until a chance finding revealed it to be a dinosaur egg.
The specimen’s pretty colors of light pink and white interior caught the eye of Robin Hansen, one of the Mineral Curators at the museum who helped prepare the specimen when it was selected to go on display in 2018. Then a trip to a mineral show in France helped reveal the significance of the rock.
‘While I was looking around the show, a dealer showed me an agatised dinosaur egg, which was spherical, had a thin rind, and dark agate in the middle,” recounts Hansen in a statement. “That was the lightbulb moment when I thought: ‘Hang on a minute, that looks a lot like the one we’ve just put on display in the Museum!’”
