The volcano’s first snow of the season fell in early November 2024—the latest in a 130-year record—only to apparently vanish within a few days. In November 2024, Mount Fuji in Japan experienced its first snowfall of the season, marking the latest onset in 130 years, with snow finally appearing on November 6. This unprecedented delay […]

Historic accounts reveal manatee populations increased in the 1800s and 1900s alongside human populations. A new study highlights that Florida manatees are more numerous now than ever before, likely due to improved conservation efforts and environmental changes. While historically considered rare, manatees have benefited from the same human activities that threaten their existence, indicating a […]

DGIST and UNIST researchers have discovered a new quantum state, the exciton-Floquet synthesis state, enabling real-time quantum information control in two-dimensional semiconductors. A research team led by Professor Jaedong Lee from the Department of Chemical Physics at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) has unveiled a groundbreaking quantum state and an innovative mechanism for extracting and manipulating […]

AI and Human Evolution As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly widespread and advanced, it prompts new questions about its impact on human life and society. A recent paper in The Quarterly Review of Biology explores how these technologies might influence human evolution. In “How Might Artificial Intelligence Influence Human Evolution?” author Rob Brooks examines the […]

Scientists have traced the evolutionary path from C3 to C4 photosynthesis, discovering key regulatory changes that could enhance crop resilience and efficiency. This groundbreaking research paves the way for agricultural advances that could help combat the effects of global warming. Photosynthesis Evolution Over 3 billion years ago, photosynthesis first appeared in ancient bacteria on an […]
