New genetic evidence reveals multiple waves ...

Scientists have unearthed a history of genetic exchange between modern humans and Neanderthals, revealing multiple waves of interference that have occurred over millennia, suggesting a much closer connection between these early human groups than previously thought.

The last universal common ancestor: LUCA research reveals early life on Earth 4.2 billion years ago

The last universal common ancestor: LUCA ...

New research reveals details of the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) that lived 4.2 billion years ago, providing insight into early life on Earth. Scientists analyzed genes and evolutionary models to understand LUCA's biology and ecosystem.

Switching to ammonia as a marine fuel can cause more health problems than benefits without stronger regulation

Switching to ammonia as a marine fuel can ...

The transition of the global fleet from fossil fuels to ammonia as a marine fuel can cause significant health problems due to the emission of nitrogen oxides and unburned ammonia, mit researchers warn. Stricter regulations and cleaner engine technologies are needed to reduce negative impacts on public health.

How registration of research plans increases the effectiveness and reliability of scientific research in ecology and medicine
