Melting glaciers causing sea levels to rise at ever greater rates

Glaciers have lost more than 9,000 billion tons (that is 9,625,000,000,000 tons) of ice between 1961 and 2016, which has resulted in global sea levels increasing by 27 millimeters in this period..

Woolly mammoths and Neanderthals may have shared genetic traits: Findings point to molecular resemblance in climate adaptation traits of the two species

The research attributes the human-elephant relationship during the Pleistocene epoch to their mutual ecology and shared living environments, in addition to other possible interactions between the two species. The study was led by Prof. Ran Barkai and Meidad Kislev of TAU's Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Cultures and

Slug glue reveals clues for making better medical adhesives: Findings could lead to suture alternatives that are flexible and strong

Typical sutures like staples and stitches often lead to scarring and create holes in the skin that could increase the chance of infection after surgeryz Rebecca Falconer Rebecca Falconer, who conducted one of the studies. "Understanding the roles of adhesive proteins in the slug glue would aid in the creation

Laying the ground for robotic strategies in environmental protection

With this motivation, a team of roboticists at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering has developed a robot that can autonomously drive interlocking steel sheet piles into soil. The structures that it builds could function as retaining walls or check dams for erosion control. The study will be presented
