Imagine tiny pores on plant leaves, known as stomata, working hard all day. They're not just there for show; they help plants breathe and prevent them from getting too hot. But what happens when the climate changes? That's what scientists are trying to figure out. In a changing environment, these s
Chyler Leigh, who played Lexie Grey in Grey's Anatomy, has an interesting perspective on her character's grim end. In the show's Season 8 finale, Lexie met her demise after a plane crash, and her body was later found by wolves. This detail, often forgotten, has been immortalized in memes. Leigh, how
The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) from San Antonio has landed a big deal worth $26. 1 million. They'll be designing and building two special instruments called magnetometers for NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These magnetometers will measure the magnetic f
Scientists set out on a mission to classify lesions known as focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) in the insulo-opercular region of the brain. This brain area, located deep within the brain structure, can be tricky. The study's goal was to map the exact spots and extents of these FCD lesions and understan
It's not every day that a new airline shakes up the travel scene between Australia and New Zealand. But China Airlines has done just that by extending its Taipei-Melbourne route to include Auckland. This smart move solves a common problem for international airlines: expensive aircraft parked during

This isn't your usual eye problem, and it can get serious fast. When someone with shingles on their face starts to experience symptoms lik
Antimony, a heavy metal, affects the swimming speed of Pelophylax nigromaculatus tadpoles. Researchers found that when these critters are exposed to antimony in two different ways—either in short bursts (pulse exposure) or continuously (constant exposure) for 28 days—they swim significantly slower.
In a recent anatomical study, researchers explored the relationship between the uncus and the branches of the anterior choroidal artery (AChA). They examined 124 hemispheres from 62 cadavers to gather data on the length of the AChA and the distances of its uncal branches. The average length of the A
In recent years, China has seen a surge in Internet use among middle-aged and older adults in rural areas. This wave of connectivity has led to increased online shopping, entertainment, and learning opportunities. However, the construction of digital villages is now raising questions about its impac
