The brain works like a complex circuit board which could be recreated on a computer. Humans could download their brain on to a computer and live forever inside a machine, a Cambridge neuroscientist has claimed. Dr Hannah Critchlow said that…
Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days The staggeringly complex LHC ‘atom smasher’ at the CERN centre in Geneva, Switzerland, will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid…
Ancient plant material has been preserved in the glass formed by asteroids hitting the Earth, scientists report. The “frozen in aspic” appearance of what are apparently fragments of grass is spectacular enough. But a team writing in Geology journal says…
Geologists recently discovered massive canyons and valleys hidden beneath the glaciers of West Antarctica. The largest, the Ellsworth Trough, plunges 2,000 meters (6,561 feet) below sea level. The trough’s valley is filled with deep ice (3,000 meters or 9,842 feet)…
Is it proof we come from Aliens? Scientists have found the oldest DNA evidence yet of humans’ biological history. But instead of neatly clarifying human evolution, the finding is adding new strange mysteries. The DNA from a fossil dating back…
