Chrome Could Fetch Up To $20 Billion If Google Is Forced To Sell It By The DOJThe U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is pressing for the sale of Google Chrome, a move that could fetch as much as $20 billion for Alphabet Inc., Goog

Ancient maize samples in Brazilian caves suggest the crop's domestication may have been completed in South AmericaBrazilian scientists have determined that ancient specimens of partially domesticated maize (Zea mays, also known as corn) originally from Peruaçu Valley in Minas Gerais state (Brazil) were the farthest from Mexico, the plant's historic center of origin, of any finds made so far.

Fossil footprints reveal two hominin species crossed paths on same dayThere’s plenty of evidence that ancient hominin species crossed paths on many occasions – but it’s never been quite as literal as a new discovery in Kenya. Paleontologists have discovered the first known example of fossil footprints left by two different species of ancient hominins on the same day.

Fish Have a Brain Microbiome. Could Humans Have One Too? | Quanta MagazineThe discovery that other vertebrates have healthy, microbial brains is fueling the still controversial possibility that we might have them as well.

Biomolecules under deep Earth conditions help refine primordial soup theory for possible origins of lifeA collaborative research team has made significant progress in studying the abiotic synthesis and stability of biomolecules in C-H-O-N fluids under deep Earth conditions.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Slams Elon Musk's Plans For Mars ColonizationAstrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has voiced strong skepticism about Elon Musk’s vision for making humanity “interplanetary” by est

Unexplained heat-wave 'hotspots' are popping up across the globeA striking new phenomenon is emerging: distinct regions are seeing repeated heat waves that are so extreme, they fall far beyond what any model of global warming can predict or explain. A new study provides the first worldwide map of such regions, which show up on every continent except Antarctica like giant, angry skin blotches.

Scientists Confirm Crabs Really Can Experience Pain After AllCrustaceans might put up a hard exterior, but on the inside, they may be more sensitive than is often assumed.

Evidence of primordial black holes may be hiding in planets, or even everyday objects here on EarthA theoretical study suggests that small black holes born in the early universe may have left behind hollow planetoids and microscopic tunnels, and that we should start looking within rocks and old buildings for them. The research proposes thinking both big and small to confirm the existence of primordial black holes, suggesting that their signatures could range from very large -- hollow planetoids in space -- to minute -- microscopic tunnels in everyday materials found on Earth, like rocks, metal and glass.

Climate-friendly farming: Scientists find feeding grazing cattle seaweed cuts methane emissions by almost 40%Seaweed is once again showing promise for making cattle farming more sustainable. A study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, found that feeding grazing beef cattle a seaweed supplement in pellet form reduced their methane emissions by almost 40% without affecting their health or weight.
