It is extremely essential, that it is your guardian angel in times of stress and need, maintaining your relaxed pain-free state, while keeping your internal pluming up an going.. I like to call it the secondary police of the cell, after the primary cell cycle genes, that is. Not only does it go around making sure all compounds are receiving and exchanging electrons, but it is also among the military forces of the cell. It stands loyal to the cell when it is being invaded. When the cell's economy is no longer stable, mischievous backstabbers- bacteria and viruses or even toxins- love to take action and bring the cell city down, and that happens when there is a lack of electrons circulating, which is when Vitamin C military forces are cut bac ...

It’s a pretty rare event to find complete fossils in good condition. After millions of years any number of things could happen to destroy fossils before they are discovered and documented by scientists, if the animal even fossilizes at all. Finding well preserved baby animals is particularly hard, since they are more likely to have gotten trampled or eaten after their death. Phillip Currie from the University of Alberta has recently uncovered a juvenile Chasmosaurus belli that was so complete and intact, he was actually able to speculate about the cause of death.

Chasmosaurus belli is commonly found in British Columbia, Canada. It is a relative of the triceratops and has the familiar ornamental frill. Up to this point, all of the skeletons h ...

It looks spooky, but this is actually an image of a salt lake in Western Australia's Gibson Desert taken by astronauts on board the International Space Station. It's an example of how our brains often take random patterns and see them as faces or other familiar figures (like a ghost in this case), a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia. ...

Eresus is a genus of velvet spiders comprising several species, including Eresus cinnaberinus and Eresus sandaliatus, both of which are sometimes known as the "Ladybird spider".

Found in Morocco, they climb these Argan tree in search of food. It's hard to imagine that animals with hooves could be so adept at climbing but these images are 100% real. Food is fairly sparse in this area, so they have to grab it when they can - even if it's high up in a tree!

The secret to their ability to climb lies in the shape of their hooves. The keratin reinforced hoof wall adds strength, while the soft textured sole provides traction and grip. It's also capable of deforming inwards to counter irregularities in the terrain. Their toes are capable of operating independently giving them more of a "grip".

These hooves evolved to allow the goats to climb rocky, mountainous areas - but they've shifted ecosystems to the trees! ...

And it's $235 a scoop! The ice cream was created by UK company Lick Me I'm Delicious in time for Halloween, and was inspired by glowing jellyfish. It's made using a synthetic, calcium-activated version of the protein that makes jellyfish luminescent, and lights up when you lick it. However, inventor Charlie Harry Francis didn't offer much reassurance on whether the product was safe to eat, writing on his blog: "Well I tried some and I don't seem to be glowing anywhere, so we'll go with a yes for now." ...

Artist Peter Cook sculpted this chair by controlling how the tree grew through a process he invented called "pooktre." Can you imagine the patience that must be needed to complete a project like this?

Abraham Lake lies in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. The view is breathtaking, especially during wintertime, when methane bubbles freeze right underneath the surface, creating eerie cloud-like formations. The phenomenon has a simple explanation: plants on the lake bed release methane bubbles, which freeze once they’re close enough to the surface. In springtime, when the ice starts to thaw, the gas is released into the atmosphere.
