Vaccines might be contributing to the evolution of “stronger” virus strains, according to a new research performed by an international team of scientists. Their findings have been published in PLOS Biology. The new study deals with the controversial supervirus theory that dictates that vaccines which do not completely eliminate a disease might trigger viruses to develop
A new study has shed light onto the ability of dinosaurs to kill their prey: their serrated (having saw-like cutting edges) teeth allowed them to cut through flesh and bones better – specially those of other dinosaurs they fed on – and the very arrangement of the tissues within each of those teeth provided further

If we can’t walk and jump off the surface of water, we will make insect-like robots to do so! Scientists have created tiny robots that can emulate the motion of water striders, thereby allowing them to stand on water and jump into the air. The paper entitled, “Jumping on water: Surface tension–dominated jumping of water
The Fractofusus, a form of rangeomorphs, had developed a complex reproductive methodology millions of years ago, as attested by well-preserved fossils of the immobile organism.

Some scientists believe rangeomorphs
