For the first time, researchers have found plant remains in the two-million-year-old dental plaque of ancient hominins’ teeth.
“By testing the sediments in which the hominid was buried we can be sure that the
A new study has reconstructed two 4000-year-old genomes from the rare pathogen Mycobacterium lepromatosis

Sound can now be structured in three dimensions. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and the University of Stuttgart have found a way of generating acoustic holograms, which could improve ultrasound diagnostics and material testing. The holograms can also be used to move and manipulate particles.
“But I am sure that there are a lot of areas that could be considered.”
Ancient nuclear DNA from 15,000-year-old modern humans from Morocco, the oldest ever recovered from Africa, shows dual genetic ancestry to ancient Near Eastern and to sub-Saharan African populations.
Consequently, the researchers cannot be sure exactly where this heritage comes from

Deep-seabed mining lastingly disrupts the seafloor food web. Especially the microbial part of the carbon cycle is affected
Studies have shown that many sessile inhabitants of the surface of the seafloor
Alex Jordan is a behavioral ecologist at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Konstanz, Germany. His main interest: he wants to know why animals do what they do. He is especially devoted to fish, having been a hobbyist since a young age, and seeing the value of being able to study animals equally well in the wild as in captivity.
We performed various tests to make sure that the fish only reacted to marks that

Millions of years ago, some plants in the mustard family made the switch from simple leaves to complex leaves through two tiny tweaks to a single gene. One tweak to a small enhancer sequence gave the gene a new domain of expression in the leaf. Paradoxically, the other tweak sub-optimised its function in this new domain. But together, these changes gave rise to fit plants with complex leaves.
