What is asexual reproduction: nature’s virgin birth - https://www.zmescience.com[..]exual-reproduction-natures-virgin-birth/ Biology-mysteries - http://list25.com[..]manity-has-not-figured-out-yet/?view=all Over 50 years ago, researchers circumnavigated the Americas sampling ocean life along the way at regular intervals. In the process, they discovered a striking relationship: the abundance of a certain marine species is linked to its body size such that its collective mass is basically the same. Krill are a billion times smaller than tuna, but their numbers are a billion times more abundant. If you were to weigh all the krill in the ocean, the mass should be close to all the tuna — but not anymore. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]umans-broke-a-natural-law-of-ocean-life/ Scientists are stunned by the discovery of the world’s largest bacterium.

The temperature-driven change in the mobility of water molecules on the surface perfectly matches how ice’s friction coefficient changes with temperature — the more mobility at the surface, the lower the friction. - https://www.zmescience.com/science/ice-slippery-h-bonds-8731058/ “As the physicist Richard Feynman predicted, the solution was not to be found in new equations, but rather within the equation that was already available to us,” explained Tobias Schneider, author of the new study. “Until now, researchers didn’t have powerful enough mathematical tools to verify this.”- https://www.zmescience.com[..]ws-science/turbulent-fluid-flow-28052019 Even in desert air, a single kilogram of this cheap gel was able to capture more than 6 liters of water per day. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]rinking-water-literally-out-of-thin-air/ Mind The Water Gap, Mapping the world’s water shortages - https://worldwatermap.nationalgeographic.org/ Is water wet?
