To save the planet, first save elephants
Wiping out all of Africa’s elephants could accelerate Earth’s climate crisis by allowing 7% more damaging greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, scientists say. But conserving forest elephants may reverse

The catch was that these lucrative contracts also restricted the scientists
Creation Of Artificial Tissues Will End Reliance On Donations Beijing: Chinese scientists are cultivating human cells in a laboratory in a bid to produce artificial cornea, bringing hope to over five million people suffering from corneal blindness in the country.
A huge ball of brightly burning gas drifting through a neighbouring galaxy may be the heaviest star ever discovered
