Researchers that are making efforts to clarify the data being collected on Antarctic sea ice by satellites using ground-based instruments are reporting that the extent of ice surrounding our southernmost continent has shrunk to a record low, nearly one million square kilometers (386,000 square miles) less than when record keepingread more
Recent research into the possibility that consciousness is a quantum phenomenon has found evidence that nanoscopic structures in our bodies may be capable of sustaining quantum states necessary for such processes to occur. Previous experiments have found that molecular structures in the chlorophyll found in plant cells are capable ofread more
