New research reveals western India's savannas are ancient natural ecosystems. Historical texts from the 13th century describe open, grass-rich landscapes. This challenges the long-held view of these areas as degraded forests. Conservation efforts, particularly tree planting, may be harming these established environments. Understanding this history is crucial for effective protection.

Diabetes Remission: New evidence shows Type 2 reversal possible; experts share tips
Diabetes remission, once a distant dream, is now a scientifically proven reality for many with Type 2 diabetes. Landmark studies like DiRECT and meta-analyses confirm that significant weight loss, coupled with dietary changes and exercise, can lead to normal blood sugar levels, often reducing or eliminating medication dependence. Early intervention is key.
Theory of relativity for dummies: How Albert Einstein repainted space and time
In 1905, Albert Einstein revolutionized physics by demonstrating that time is not absolute but relative to the observer's motion. He showed that space and time are intertwined into a single fabric called spacetime, which is curved by mass, explaining gravity as geometry. This fundamental shift altered our understanding of the universe's dynamic nature.
Scientists find a breakthrough technique to track falling satellites
Scientists are now tracking falling satellites by listening to Earth's vibrations. Powerful shockwaves from re-entering space debris are detected by earthquake-monitoring instruments, allowing for near real-time reconstruction of flight paths and landing zones. This seismic method offers a crucial new way to understand where debris lands, complementing existing tracking systems.
