To an ant, the world is written in scent—and they read it with uncanny precision. A single colony can recognize thousands of chemical cues that guide foraging, mark trails, and maintain order. Each ant relies on odor receptors in its antennae to decode this chemical language, with every nerve cell specializing in just one receptor type. But since the genome contains hundreds of receptor genes packed closely together, scientists have l... More...
Imagine a fish designed with such precision that it has thrived in deep, dark ocean waters for generations unchanged, resilient, and wonderfully suited to its world. That’s the coelacanth, a mysterious creature first known from fossils in ancient rock layers. For decades, textbooks claimed it had gone extinct 65 million years ago. But in 1938, the “extinct” fish stunned the scientific community when one was caught alive of... More...
Flood geologists have predicted that plate motion slowed at the end of the Flood year, and now conventional scientists are finding it to be true. A recent study by Colleen Dalton and her colleagues from Brown University in Providence, RI, found that ocean crust production slowed by 35% from 15–6 million years ago, or late in the Tertiary.1 Although we dispute these great ages, the data still indicate a slowdown in plate mov...

A team of researchers led by University of North Dakota planetary scientist Dr. Caleb Strom concluded that the two Uranian moons Ariel and Miranda (directly left and right of pale blue Uranus in the above image, respectively) once had water oceans within their interiors.1,2 They obtained their conclusions, published in the journals Icarus and The Planetary Science Journal, by studying cracks, or stress fractures, on...
