Scientists have discovered that methane trapped under Svalbard’s permafrost can escape, risking a warming cycle. Frequent methane accumulations found in wellbore studies highlight the potential for increased global warming as the permafrost thaws. Credit: SciTechDaily.comAccording to scientists, large amounts of methane may be stored beneath the permafrost and could leak if it thaws.Methane is...

Researchers have identified a brain chemical that makes alcohol taste bitter to women. Credit: PixaobayScientists have found that a brain chemical causes alcohol to have a bitter taste for women, potentially shedding light on the gender-based variations in alcohol consumption patterns. This finding might open up new avenues for developing innovative interventions to assist...
The case for life on Jupiter's moon Europa just got stronger, thanks to the detection of carbon dioxide on its surfaceNASAThe prime locations within our solar system for seeking extraterrestrial life aren't planets such as Mars; rather, they are icy moons like Europa. The evidence supporting the existence of life on this watery celestial...
