You may have heard of white noise used to mask background sounds. Now, it has colorful competition. There’s a growing buzz around pink noise, brown noise, green noise — a rainbow of soothing sounds — and their theoretical effects on sleep, concentration and relaxation response. The science is new with only a few small studies…
Paleontologists have described Douglassarachne acanthopoda, a large spider-like arachnid with very spiny legs (presumably to deter predators), from the world-famous Mazon Creek fossil localities of Illinois, United States. The post 308-Million-Year-Old Fossil of Remarkable Spiny Arachnid Found in Illinois appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News. Paleontologists have described Douglassarachne acanthopoda, a large spider-like arachnid…

A new study tracks how cockroaches spread around the globe to become the survival experts we know today. Researchers analyzed the genes of over 280 cockroaches across 17 countries and confirmed that the German cockroach, found around the world, actually originated in southeast Asia over 2,000 years ago. The cockroaches then may have hitchhiked in…
