Plant-based “vaccine” uses herbs to activate the immune system against the coronavirus, without the blood clot risk
Canadian company Medicago has developed a plant-based vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). The two-dose vaccine uses virus-like particles (VLP) grown in a tobacco shrub to confer immunity against COVID-19. VLPs are molecules that closely resemble a virus. They are not infectious since they do not contain genetic material. Vaccines that use VLPs train the immune system to recognize a virus […]

Study: Alien life may exist in 5 known solar systems with two or more stars
Researchers have identified five solar systems with multiple stars that may be hosting habitable planets. The researchers found that these so-called multiple star systems can support a stable “habitable zone,” the region around stars where liquid water can exist on planets. “Life is far most likely to evolve on planets located within their system’s habitable zone, just like Earth,” […]

Over 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust from comets and asteroids bombard Earth every year – study
In a study published on April 15 in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, an international team of researchers found that more than 5,000 tons of extraterrestrial dust fall on the planet every year. Tiny meteors in the form of interplanetary dust bombard Earth all the time. Some of these particles travel at exceptional speeds and turn into shooting stars […]

Newfound cuckoo wasp species mimics other insects’ “language” to raise and feed its young
European researchers discovered a new species of cuckoo wasps in Norway’s Lista peninsula. The newfound species is nearly identical and behaves similary to another kind of cuckoo wasps, Chrysis brevitarsis, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other. Both are parasitic wasps that leech off other insects to feed their young. In a paper published in the journal Insect Systematics and […]

Asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs may have created the Amazon rainforest, study suggests
A new study suggests that the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs likely gave rise to the Amazon rainforest in South America. Published April 1 in the journal Science, the study also posits that the same asteroid created all of the Americas’ tropical rainforests. Around 66 million years ago, a seven-mile-wide meteor struck what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Named the Chicxulub […]

3 Crucial processes: Study suggests humans can breathe thanks to volcanoes, tectonics and cyanobacteria
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside and Rice University have tied up multiple complex processes to come up with one comprehensive theory answering how oxygen became ubiquitous on Earth. In a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience, the researchers described how tectonic activity –the shifting of Earth’s outer crust – led to the formation of volcanoes that spewed massive amounts of carbon […]

Back off, bugs: Sweet potato cultivars use a specific odor to warn other plants of herbivores
A variety of sweet potato emits a specific odor that not only deters incoming pests – it also alerts neighboring plants of its kind to the presence of a threat. That’s according to researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology (MPICE) in Germany and National Taiwan University, who examined a sweet potato cultivar called Tainong 57, […]

Ex-CIA director believes aliens may exist after a friend’s aircraft “stopped” mid-air
R. James Woolsey, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from 1993 to 1995, revealed that he was an alien skeptic until a friend’s aircraft mysteriously stopped at around 40,000 feet above ground. Woolsey spoke with The Black Vault‘s John Greenwald Jr. on April 2 to promote his new book, “Operation Dragon: Inside the Kremlin’s […]

GET OUTSIDE: Sunlight inactivates Wuhan coronavirus 8 times faster than previously predicted, researchers found
Researchers found that sunlight inactivates the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) more than eight times more quickly than predicted. Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz, a professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara), and his colleagues reviewed recent studies that explored the effects of different bands of ultraviolet (UV) light – namely, UVA, UVB and UVC radiation – on SARS-CoV-2, the virus […]

Study: Fiery “airburst” of superhot gas crashed into Antarctica millions of years ago
A study published March 31 in the journal Science Advances found that an asteroid the size of a football field exploded over Antarctica roughly 430,000 years ago. The study, led by Belgian geoscientist Matthias Van Ginneken, showed that this “airburst” event produced a fiery ball of hot gas that traveled as quickly as the asteroid. Van Ginneken and his colleagues launched an […]
