Kai R. Caspar Dinosaurs lived at the end of the Cretaceous (about 66 million years ago) and was exclusive to western North America. An international team of paleontologists, behavioral scientists and neurologists have re-examined brain size and structure in dinosaurs. It was claimed that these high neuron counts could directly inform on intelligence, metabolism and life history, and that T. rex was rather monkey-like.

Mercury’s outer electrons don’t bond to very strongly, weakening the pull between one mercury atom and another. This weakness means that as soon as mercury picks up even quite a modest amount of energy the organization of a solid breaks down and the atoms start moving more freely. It turns out mercury is in a sweet spot on the table where three effects combine. The first is that its outer electron shell is full.

Earth is made up of 70 per cent water, yet countries worldwide run the risk of water shortage as pressure increases on natural resources. This 71% includes both saltwater bodies like oceans and freshwater sources such as rivers, lakes, and glaciers. Scientists have now estimated how much water runs through Earth’s rivers, the rates at which it flows into the ocean, and how much both of those figures have fluctuated over time. The analysis has revealed regions depleted by heavy water use, including the Colorado River basin in the United
