Glow in the dark wombats.
Scientists find out wombats also glow or have biofluorescence (when under UV light). Not long ago they found out that the platypus also glow.
Australian scientists are surprised to learn that many animals glow under UV light, though more research is required to discover why.
An Egyptian mummy that was decorated with a woman’s portrait contained a surprise – the body of a child who was only 5 years old when she died.
Now, scientists have learned more about the mysterious girl and her burial, thanks to high-resolution scans and X-ray “microbeams” that targeted very small regions in the intact artifact.
Computed X-ray tomography (CT) scans of the mummy’s teeth and femur confirmed the girl’s age, though they showed no signs of trauma in her bones that could suggest the cause of her death.
Hell, our own evolution on Earth was pure luck.
In newly published research from Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute, scientists study the likelihood of key times for evolution of life on Earth and conclude that it would be virtually impossible for that life to evolve the same way somewhere else.
