Originated

A study published in the peer-reviewed academic journal Risk Analysis suggests a higher probability of COVID-19 originating from a laboratory rather than naturally.Research points to an unnatural origin as the likely source for COVID-19.The origin of COVID-19 is highly debated – most studies have focused on a zoonotic origin, but research from the journal Risk Analysis, examined the likelihood of an unnatural origin (i.e. from a laboratory.)The results indicate a greater likelihood of an unnatural than natural origin of…

The meteorite NWA 13188 was found in Morocco in 2018.Photo: Albert JambonFive years ago, a partially crusted, dark red meteorite crashed in the Sahara desert and was sold in Morocco. Meteorites, almost exclusively, are of extraterrestrial origin, but this chunk seemed weirdly familiar, leading scientists to believe that it originated from the same planet where it ended up thousands of years later. What Is Planet Nine and Why Can’t We Find It?During the 2023 Goldschmidt Conference on geochemistry, held from July 9 to 14…

Think of Beatrix Potter and you will probably call to mind her tales of Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Mrs Tiggy-Winkle. These popular stories, with their English country garden settings and precise illustrations, have been stalwarts of British children’s bookshelves over the past century. Yet the stories may not be as British as most of us assume.Dr Emily Zobel Marshall, in a new essay for The Conversation, has called for wider acknowledgment of the debt Potter owed to the Brer Rabbit stories told by enslaved…

The intellectual property services provider detected an unauthorised access to its document management system, which included administrative and some client documents as well as correspondence at its head office and two member firms. The investigation further suggested there was no…

V883 Ori is a remarkable protostar that boasts a temperature that is just hot enough for converting water in its circumstellar disk into gas. This gas can be studied by radio astronomers to trace the origins of the water. Recently, ALMA observations have verified that the water in our own Solar System may have the same source as the water found in disks surrounding protostars in other parts of the Universe – the interstellar medium.

A classified intelligence report from the U.S. Department of Energy that concluded the COVID-19 pandemic likely originated from a laboratory leak may give a boost to those who support the theory, but scientists say it certainly won't end the debate over the origin of the virus.Indeed, some say a definitive answer may never be found."There are many cold criminal cases that never get solved, despite intense efforts to do so because they don't have sufficient evidence as to what happened. I think you have a very similar…

It has taken over two decades and one pandemic for paleontologists to unite the fossilized remains of the earliest mammal ancestors and find that their evolution which gave rise to modern humans, may have begun in the Southern Hemisphere – and not in the north as scientists have long thought.The analysis of a small collection of tiny fossilized jawbones bearing distinctive back teeth flips our understanding of when and where modern mammals evolved on its head, according to the team of researchers who produced…
