"I don't know how this fish tank works exactly, but from what I could understand, the tank on top that joins the adjacent tanks works as a vacuum. The result is that there are feeding holes in the side of the tank, and the water does not flow out. I could not wrap my mind around this technology, but it works." picked by gnikgnok 3 years ago

Scientists at the University of Bonn have discovered a new rare type of haemoglobin. The new haemoglobin type appears optically to be transporting little oxygen. Measurements of the blood oxygen level therefore present a similar picture to patients suffering from an inherited cardiac defect. After examining two patients, the scientists now understand that the new type of haemoglobin distorts the l... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

According to Biochemist Graham Logan it did. In brief, containing digestion bi-products in parcels of poop meant that there was less for the bacteria to chew on. This led to less bacteria, and it was the bacteria who were burning up all the oxygen. Which meant there was more oxygen around to play with and the Cambrian Explosion ensued picked by pocksucket 2 years ago

"War on Terror" is a satirical board game. Among other items, it includes a balaclava, a freaking ski mask with the word "evil" written on it (the person designated a terrorist in the game wears it). Police confiscated the game because the mask, openly sold all over the country could be used to hide one's identity. picked by bernardblack 1 year ago

This Chandra X-ray Observatory image shows the debris of a massive star explosion in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy about 160,000 light years from Earth. The supernova remnant (SNR) shown here, N132D, is the brightest in the Magellanic clouds, and belongs to a rare class of oxygen-rich remnants. Most of the oxygen that we breathe on Earth is thought to have come from explosions similar... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Oxygen is constantly leaking out of Earth’s atmosphere and into space. Now, ESA’s formation-flying quartet of satellites, Cluster, has discovered the physical mechanism that is driving the escape. It turns out that the Earth’s own magnetic field is accelerating the oxygen away. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

A startling discovery by scientists at the Carnegie Institution puts a new twist on photosynthesis, arguably the most important biological process on Earth. But two studies suggest that certain marine microorganisms have evolved a way to break the rules--they get a significant proportion of their energy without a net release of oxygen or uptake of carbon dioxide. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago
