Some viruses are called airborne. This is the case for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is responsible for Covid-19. Researchers today show that carbon dioxide (CO2) plays a crucial role in the lifespan of these viruses in the air. The news is not the best in our warm world.At the heart of the Covid crisis, we advised, to reduce the risk of transmission, to ventilate rooms where several people could gather. Researchers from the University of Bristol (United Kingdom) confirm this today in the journal Nature Communications That the council was wise. Perhaps more than scientists imagined at the time.Carbon dioxide…

It all depends on whether the Earth's rotation will stop gradually or immediately – in either case, the consequences for life will be catastrophic. If the stop was gradual, the centrifugal force would decrease as the speed of rotation slowed: so the oceans would not be pushed back towards the equatorial region. However, the planet has an elliptical shape due to its long history of rotation: it is slightly oblate at the poles, where gravity is slightly greater. The seas would therefore migrate thither more or less violently and separate into two polar oceans. “Days, for their part, will not…

Researchers demonstrate the relationship between vitamin D and cancer resistance through the gut microbiota. The results in mice could be transferred to humans if confirmed by additional research.A diet rich in vitamin D affects the composition of the gut microbiota in mice, according to a new study published in the journal science. More precisely, this vitamin – it is synthesized by the skin during exposure to it sunsun Or obtained through food – acts on the epithelial cells of the intestine, promoting the growth of bacteria called Bacteroides fragilis. Researchers write that this microbemicrobe Allow finally Mice to better resist…

The New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness, released on Friday, is signed by thirty-nine signatories from universities ranging from Canada to Australia, who say there is “at least a realistic possibility” that all vertebrates and many invertebrates have consciousness.The statement is based on recent studies showing that snakes can recognize their own scent, crows can report what they see, octopuses can avoid pain, and vinegar flies can sleep — and that they sleep better when in the company of other vinegar flies.For example, Christine Andrews, a professor of philosophy at York University, explains that scientific data supports the hypothesis that…
