The old town of Nessebar is near-enough an island: a half mile of weathered wooden fishing houses with terracotta-tiled roofs that sit atop a rocky head, strung to the Bulgarian coast by only a narrow land bridge. It’s also a dense stack of ruins layered on top of one another that stretch back more than 3,000 years, and is recognised by Unesco as a World Heritage site.

The Indigenous worldview (Narvaez, Four Arrows, Halton, Collier & Enderle, 2019) is still apparent in many non-industrialized communities (Descola, 2013). Whereas Western scholars have long assumed that humans act on nature to force it to reveal its secrets, the Indigenous perspective is more relational, assuming that a receptive orientation to the natural world will lead to revelations to the individual or group.

A team of researchers at the University of Richmond have taught rats to drive mini-cars - and not only are the rodents good at it, they enjoy it too. The scientists built the rat-sized vehicles out of clear plastic food containers, with three copper bars that served as a steering wheel.

The tech industry is producing a rising din. Our bodies can’t adapt.

This would make a great score for a video game.

People often fake their own deaths to get out of trouble, whether they’re escaping a threat, debt, or a prison sentence. Check out these notable cases.

New evidence suggest that humans unintentionally pollute office air by carrying and spreading harmful volatile compounds into the indoor environment.

We Love Science - The first ever picture of the dark side of the moon.

Winter Mraz says she loves having her keys in her hand but she does not mean holding them. She has actually had her door key implanted into her left hand in the form of a microchip.

Aim To assess the effect of Lactobacillus supplementation on Helicobacter pylori eradication rates and side effects of the triple therapy. Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched for articles published up to July, 2019.

Their initial discovery had seemed like a contradiction because most other polymer fibres embrittle in the cold. But after many years of working on the problem, the group of researchers have discovered that silk's cryogenic toughness is based on its nano-scale fibrills. Sub-microscopic order and hierarchy allows a silk to withstand temperatures of down to -200 C. And possibly even lower, which would make these classic natural luxury fibres ideal for applications in the depths of chilly outer-space.

By definition, a con artist is a manipulator who cheats, or tricks, others through persuading them to believe something that is not true. Through deception, they fool people into believing they can make easy money when, in fact, it is the con artist who ends up taking the victim’s money.

Debbie Scroggin and her husband live at the end of a series of gravel roads in a lonesome part of Kansas. It is the kind of place where, Debbie says, "you have to drive 15 minutes to get anywhere." Getting to the Scroggin house involves turning onto a desolate ribbon of gravel that cuts through fields as far as the eye can see. It was easy to think that someone might come here to either get lost or be forgotten. Scroggin remembers Adrian Lamo arriving on a night train with nothing but a broken suitcase and a hangdog expression.

Fasting regimens have gained public and scientific interest in recent years, but fasting shouldn't be dismissed as a fad. In a study published in Cell, Mount Sinai researchers found that fasting reduces inflammation and improves chronic inflammatory diseases without affecting the immune system's response to acute infections.

Delivery via caesarean section, maternal antibiotic prophylaxis and colonization by opportunistic pathogens associated with the hospital environment affect the composition of the gut microbiota of children from birth until infancy.

An electric patch makes hairless mice grow fur and may reverse balding in men when fitted inside a specially designed baseball cap. At the moment, men who don’t want to go bald can treat hair loss using minoxidil lotion, finasteride pills or hair transplant surgery. But minoxidil doesn’t work for everyone, finasteride can reduce sex drive and fertility, and surgery is painful and expensive.
