Researchers at Uppsala University have calculated that the Sun contains 55 per cent more silver than previously estimated. The results are based on more realistic modelling of the Sun’s atmosphere and resolve a long-standing problem of missing silver in the solar system.
Researchers at Uppsala University have discovered a completely new fungal species, which they chose to name after the King of Sweden. The species has been given the Latin name Semicentenialea rex, which means fifty-year anniversary of the King. It is the first known representative of a new class of fungi that will be called Semicentenialomycetes.
Mosasaurs, giant marine reptiles that existed more than 66 million years ago, lived not only in the sea but also in rivers. This is shown by new research based on analyses of a mosasaur tooth found in North Dakota and believed to belong to an animal that could reach a length of 11 metres.
