🌍 Beneath our feet, scientists uncovered a brand-new phylum of microbes deep in Earth’s soil — and these guys are purifying our water while thriving in extreme underground zones .
⚡ Think only sharks and bees can sense electric fields? Nope. Turns out fruit fly larvae have a “sixth sense” too, with special neurons in their heads guiding them like living compasses .
🌊 Out at sea, glowing “milky seas” — massive bioluminescent patches — are becoming more predictable thanks to a new 400-year database. Yes, nature’s glow-in-the-dark ocean is real .
🎣 Up in the mountains of Europe, ancient DNA reveals that as far back as the 7th century, farmers were hauling fish to alpine lakes — early aquaculture in action .
🧠 And finally, a mouse watching The Matrix helped scientists map 84,000 neurons and 500 million synapses in a tiny bit of brain — a neural map so complex, it looks like a galaxy .
🦕 Oh — and right at ground zero of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs? Life bounced back in just a few years, thanks to a secret hydrothermal system under the sea floor .
📻 Hit play and explore how science is rewriting reality — one discovery at a time.

🦷 Lab-grown Human Teeth: Scientific Breakthrough!
Scientists from King’s College London have successfully grown fully functional human teeth in a laboratory for the first time ever!
🔬 How Was This Achieved?
Researchers created a specialized material that replicates the natural environment needed for tooth development. This allowed cells to communicate effectively, initiating and guiding the formation of real tooth tissue.
🌱 Why Is This Important?
Unlike traditional fillings and dental implants, these lab-grown teeth are cultivated from the patient’s own cells. This means they can naturally integrate into the jaw, grow, and even self-repair—just like your original teeth!
🦷 Two Promising Approaches:
1. Lab-first method: Teeth are fully grown in a laboratory before being implanted into the patient’s mouth.
2. Natural-growth method: Tooth cells at an early stage of development are directly placed into the jaw, allowing them to continue growing naturally within the body.
🔭 Looking Ahead:
This groundbreaking research took over a decade. Earlier attempts failed because cells couldn’t interact efficiently enough. This new breakthrough, however, paves the way for revolutionary dental treatments, potentially making traditional implants and fillings obsolete.

Leaf absorption contributes to accumulation of microplastics in plants
Nature - Absorption and accumulation of atmospheric microplastics by plant leaves occurs widely in the environment.
Plants Absorb Microplastics Directly from Air, Raising Concerns Over Food Safety
Recent research has revealed a troubling environmental threat: plants can directly absorb microplastics from the atmosphere, causing plastic particles to accumulate extensively within vegetation. Scientists warn that this phenomenon particularly endangers vegetables grown in open fields.
Microplastics (MPs) have already infiltrated every terrestrial ecosystem—present in soil, water, and air alike. Laboratory studies confirm that plant roots uptake microplastics, transferring sub-micron and nano-sized particles from roots up into the shoots.
Field measurements, however, have uncovered a more alarming reality: above-ground plant parts exhibit significantly higher plastic accumulation than previously accounted for through root absorption alone.
The detection of polymer fragments within edible plant tissues underscores the severity of atmospheric microplastic pollution. Scientists call for urgent research to evaluate the full scale and impact of this emerging environmental crisis.

Australia Has More Camels Than Egypt or the UAE
Surprising as it sounds, Australia is home to the largest population of wild camels in the world — more than Egypt or the UAE. According to various estimates, up to one million wild dromedary camels roam freely across the central and northern parts of the continent.
These camels were first brought to Australia in the 19th century from the Arabian Peninsula, India, and Afghanistan. They were used as pack animals to transport goods across the vast deserts. However, with the development of railways and roads, camels became obsolete and were left to roam. In the absence of natural predators and under minimal control, the camel population began to grow rapidly — doubling approximately every nine years. To put it in perspective, the initial population was just 10,000 individuals.
Today, wild camels pose a serious ecological threat. In some areas, they destroy up to 80% of native vegetation. During droughts, desperate for water, they invade human settlements, damaging buildings, breaking pumps and taps — and even smashing toilets.

Woodpeckers, as is well known, store acorns to survive the winter. This is the foundation of their diet, directly affecting their success in breeding come spring.
They usually stockpile acorns in natural “granaries” — tree trunks, for example, by drilling numerous holes into them.
However, sometimes woodpeckers use walls and roofs of houses for their storage needs — and even telecommunications antennas. In fact, the one shown in the video, for example, had 150 kilograms of acorns spill out of it.

A mushroom that looks just like a tiny tree!
Meet Dendrosphaera eberhardtii, a rare fungus from the Trichocomaceae family. It grows in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia — from Indonesia all the way to Okinawa.
What looks like a “trunk” is actually the stroma — a thick bundle of fungal threads — and it can reach up to 17 cm tall! At the top, it branches out like a miniature tree, and each “branch” ends with a bright yellow fruiting body.
Nature’s craftsmanship at its finest!

🎙️ Welcome to the latest episode of our @science podcast!
This week, we’re diving into discoveries that span from the surface of human skin to the farthest reaches of the universe.
🦠 First, a breakthrough from the University of Oregon: scientists have found that fungi living on our skin—yes, our own skin—might hold the key to fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A common yeast called Malassezia produces fatty acids that rapidly destroy Staphylococcus aureus, a dangerous pathogen responsible for hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations every year. It’s a reminder that nature, even the parts we overlook, can surprise us with powerful medicine.
🌀 Then, we zoom out—way out—to the edges of deep space. Using China’s massive FAST radio telescope, astronomers have discovered a new millisecond pulsar that previous surveys missed due to signal overlap. Hidden in the dense core of the M15 globular cluster, this tiny, ultra-fast spinning neutron star was camouflaged by the echoes of another pulsar nearby. It’s a stunning example of how modern tools are rewriting what we thought we knew about the universe.
🌍 And that’s just the beginning. Stay tuned as we explore ancient seabeds, blind color perception, mammal fossils from the dinosaur age, and more.

Today, on May 9th — Victory Day, we honor one of the most important moments in world history.
It was on this day that Nazi Germany was defeated, marking the end of the most brutal war humanity has ever known — World War II. The victory came at an unimaginable cost, and it was made possible through the heroism and sacrifice of the Soviet people, the courage of Russia, and the strength of the Allied nations who stood together against evil.
The Soviet Union bore the heaviest burden in this war. Tens of millions of lives were lost. Entire cities were turned to rubble. But the Soviet people fought with unmatched bravery — at the front lines, in the skies, in the factories, in the fields — all for the sake of freedom and peace.
Alongside them stood soldiers and civilians from the allies that changed the course of history and saved the world from tyranny.
We remember. We honor. We are grateful.
Let the legacy of their courage inspire us to value peace, stand against hatred, and protect the future for generations to come.
Happy Victory Day.
Glory to the heroes.
May peace always prevail.

The Soviet spacecraft Kosmos-482 has returned to Earth after a 50-year journey through space.
The probe re-entered the dense layers of Earth’s atmosphere at 9:24 a.m. Moscow time and splashed down approximately 560 kilometers off Middle Andaman Island in the Indian Ocean.
Over the past year alone, 1,981 objects — both natural and artificial — have entered our planet’s atmosphere.
On average, five objects fall to Earth every day, and one out of seven weighs more than 500 kilograms. At night, they can often be seen as ‘shooting stars.’ Cases of material damage are extremely rare.
