Portugal: Centuries-old shipwreck found near Lisbon

A study extending from southern Portugal to northern Norway illustrates the importance of temperature in influencing where various fish species are found.

The significance of temperature in determining where different fish species are located is demonstrated through an examination spanning from southern Portugal to northern Norway.

Lisbon [Portugal], October 13 (ANI): The heaviest element ever identified in an exoplanet atmosphere, barium, has been found by astronomers using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory. They were shocked to find barium in the atmospheres of the exoplanets WASP-76 b and WASP-121 b, two extremely hot gas giants that orbit stars outside of our solar system.

Lisbon [Portugal], August 20 (ANI): A recent study found that white blood cells that reside in the intestines, known as tissue-resident lymphocytes, use sugar as an energy source and have a faster metabolism than lymphocytes that circulate in the blood.

Lisbon [Portugal], August 16 (ANI): White blood cells that reside in the intestines, a particular class of immune cells known as tissue-resident lymphocytes, use sugar as an energy source and have a faster metabolism than lymphocytes that circulate in the blood, according to a recent study.

Uppsala [Sweden], March 7 (ANI): Mummification is the process of preserving the body after death by deliberately drying or embalming flesh. A recent discovery made at the hunter-gatherer burial sites in the Sado Valley in Portugal, dating to 8,000 years ago found that mummification of the dead probably seemed to be more common in prehistory than previously known. A recent study presented new evidence for pre-burial treatments such as desiccation through mummification, which had not been suggested for the European Mesolithic before.

Lisbon [Portugal], February 27 (ANI): The second planet in our Solar System is the ever glowing Venus. Underneath its thick mantle of acid sulfuric clouds, at the surface, 460 degrees Celsius are the rule.

Lisbon [Portugal], February 23 (ANI): The second planet in our Solar System, which shines like a bright star when seen from the Earth and named after the Roman goddess of beauty, is the ever glowing Venus. Underneath its thick mantle of acid sulfuric clouds, at the surface 460 degrees Celsius are the rule. This temperature is kept by the greenhouse effect of a virtually carbon dioxide only atmosphere. Seventy kilometres above, one has to withstand a perpetual wind storm, the product of the so called Venus superrotation1. A team of researchers has come closer to explaining the link between these infernal features.

Lisbon [Portugal], February 12 (ANI): Just like learning is an integral part and parcel of growing up, similarly, learning new motor skills is a critical aspect of our lives. A new study has shed light on a newly discovered brain circuit that may endow us with this remarkable ability.

Lisbon [Portugal], February 10 (ANI): Learning is never ending. It is an integral part and parcel of growing up. Similarly, learning new motor skills is a critical aspect of our lives. From playing the piano to riding a bike, it would be difficult to imagine life without it. But how does the brain do it? A new study has shed light on a newly discovered brain circuit that may endow us with this remarkable ability.
