Some 9,000 years ago, residents of one of the world's first large farming communities were also among the first humans to experience some of the perils of modern urban living.
Phys.org / Scientists reveal reversible super-glue inspired by snail mucus
Snails secrete a mucous that acts like super-glue, allowing them to adhere to rough surfaces like rocks.
Phys.org / Boaty McBoatface mission gives new insight into warming ocean abyss
The first mission involving the autonomous submarine vehicle Autosub Long Range (better known as "Boaty McBoatface") has for the first time shed light on a key process linking increasing Antarctic winds to rising sea temperatures. ...
