New research shows that butterflies in Greenland have become smaller in response to increasing temperatures due to climate change. It has often been demonstrated that the ongoing rapid climate change in the Arctic region is causing substantial change to Arctic ecosystems. Now Danish researchers demonstrate that a warmer Greenland could be bad for its butterflies, […]
More than 100 years ago today, a 63-year-old Michigan schoolteacher took the first ride ever down Niagara Falls in a barrel. Annie Edson Taylor may have survived, but the future will tell if the waterfalls available for such (now-illegal) escapades will. Here are a few threats to waterfalls we can’t ignore if we want to preserve these natural […]
Prevention is better than cure. For cancer management, prevention has a very significant role. Much before early detection of cancer, cancerous cells spread very fast. It is important to know that nearly all cancers of the lung, bladder, mouth and skin could be prevented. 50-75% of cancer mortality is related to personal behavior or habit. […]
The government is contemplating to designate several major tourist spots of Bangladesh as “restricted” in order to protect them from environmental degradation, says the civil aviation and tourism minister. These spots include Sylhet’s Ratarhgul swamp forest and Jaflong, and Cox’s Bazar sea beach and Saint Martin’s Island in Chittagong. “We need to introduce restricted tourism […]
The plague germ that caused the “Black Death” in the 14th century and other ferocious pandemics has stalked humankind far longer than previously known. A study unveiled on Thursday of DNA from Bronze Age people in Europe and Asia showed the bacterium, Yersinia pestis, afflicted humans as long ago as about 2800 BC, more than […]
The mosquito-borne parasite that causes malaria also produces a protein that could help stop cancer, new research has found. The researchers found that the malarial protein binds to a sugar molecule found in many types of cancer. The sugar molecule — oncofetal chondroitin sulfate — could be a target for anti-cancer drugs, and that the […]
The universe really is weird, which is bad news both for Albert Einstein and for would-be hackers hoping to break into quantum encryption systems. Eighty years after the physicist dismissed as “spooky” the idea that simply observing one particle could instantly change another far-away object, Dutch scientists said on Wednesday they had proved decisively that the effect […]
Leather is one of Bangladesh’s booming industries. But dreadful working conditions in tanneries save for a few, and the devastating environmental pollution they cause, are spoiling its potential in the global market. Bangladesh’s leather industry is one of the very few industries if not the only one for which Bangladesh does not have to import […]
Rising temperatures at the top of the world may be bad news for Arctic denizens like polar bears, but good news for the local mosquitoes, pesky bloodsuckers that prosper with warmer weather. Researchers said on Tuesday that increasing temperatures were enabling Arctic mosquitoes to grow more quickly and emerge sooner from their pupal stage, greatly […]
France is to use a new European opt-out scheme to ensure a ban on the cultivation of genetically modified crops in the country remains in place, it said on Thursday.
