A new study suggests that beer is a significant source of dietary silicon, a key ingredient for increasing bone mineral density.
NASA today released the most detailed set of images ever taken of the distant dwarf planet Pluto. The images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope show an icy and dark molasses-colored, mottled world that is undergoing seasonal changes in its surface color and brightness.
Recent work at Washington University in St. Louis sheds light on one of the most important events in earth-history, the conquest of land by plants 480 million years ago.

Trails found in rocks dating back 565 million years are thought to be the earliest evidence of animal locomotion ever found.
A 60-million-year-old relative of crocodiles described recently by University of Florida researchers in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology was likely a food source for Titanoboa, the largest snake the world has ever known.
For 80 years it has been accepted that early life began in a 'primordial soup' of organic molecules before evolving out of the oceans millions of years later.
THE GIST: Two new ultra-hard types of diamond have been found in a meteorite from Finland. The ultra-hard carbon crystals were created out of graphite under the intense heat and pressure of the meteorite impact.
Scientists have finally solved the mystery of how one tiny creature has flourished for up to 50 million years without sex: it dries up.
A new model for primate origins is presented in Zoologica Scripta, published by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
Flight has evolved among animals on four separate occassions - birds, bats, pterosaurs and winged insects - and much speculation has arisen about the circumstances of each.
A new model for primate origins is presented in Zoologica Scripta, published by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The tiny arctic tern makes the longest migration of any animal in the world, flying about two times farther than previously thought, a new study says.
University of Utah scientists discovered that air flows in one direction as it loops through the lungs of alligators, just as it does in birds.
It's just like the movie "Avatar" -- well, sort of. Starfish, sea urchins, and their brethren are rising up to fight humanity's greatest wrong to the Earth: global warming.
The first vertebrates to walk the Earth emerged from the sea almost 20 million years earlier than previously thought, say scientists who have discovered footprints from an 8-foot-long (2.4-meter-long) prehistoric creature.
In the deep sea, food is scarce and the menu short — so short that at least one organism eats the table along with the fare. In fact, the table may be the main course for Munidopsis andamanica, a crustacean known as a "squat lobster," related to true lobsters.
The marvelous migrations of fish and whales through the deep sea have been hard enough for us humans to follow.
Large, "lost," or simply unusual, a bevy of prehistoric beasts were brought to life in National Geographic News's most popular paleontology stories of the year.
Five years ago today — on December 27, 2004 — the Earth was attacked by a cosmic blast. The scale of this onslaught is nearly impossible to exaggerate.
Sea urchins don't seem to have any problems avoiding predators or finding comfortable dark corners to hide in, but they appear to do all this without eyes.
Recent research has demonstrated that bird song learning is influenced by social factors, but so far has been unable to isolate the particular social variables central to the learning process.
In his article, "The De Reys (1220-1501): The Evolution of a 'Middle-Class' Muslim Family in Christian Aragon", Brian A.
A fierce, feathered raptor might have been terrifying enough to small dinosaurs, lizards, birds and mammals living 128 million years ago, but add venom to its arsenal and the threat would be paralyzing—literally.
The brain acts as a profound regulatory centre, controlling myriad processes throughout the body in ways we are only just beginning to understand. In new findings, Australian scientists have shown surprising connections between the brain and regulation of bone mass.

Ivan is one of my favorite seeders and writers here on the vine. His weekly science reviews are a must read for all members and he seeds so many excellent stories that everyone should have him on their watchlists.

By "watching" you I often find links to interesting articles, that I use elsewhere. Articles I might not have found, using the ordinary search tools. This is something which is special about Newsvine, I think.
