The hydrogen hypothesis is a model proposed by William F. Martin and Miklos Muller in 1998 that describes a possible way in which the mitochondrion arose as an endosymbiont within a prokaryotic host in the archaea, giving rise to a symbiotic association of two cells from which the first eukaryotic cell could have arisen (symbiogenesis). […]

The Smith & Wesson Model 410 and 411 are two similar full-sized, .40 S&W, short-recoil-operated double-action/single action (DA/SA) semi-automatic pistols with a four-inch barrel and an aluminum alloy frame and a carbon steel slide. The S&W Model 411 was produced from 1992 to 1994. The S&W Model 410 was introduced in 1995 as a replacement […]

Energy in Burkina Faso is sourced primarily from diesel and heavy fuel, with some access to hydropower and solar. Burkina Faso produced 69 kilotonne of oil equivalent (ktoe) of energy in 2015, 89.8% of which was generated from fossil fuels. Final consumption of electricity was 86 ktoe. The country uses energy from biomass, fossil fuels, […]

49 Ceti is a single star in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, white-hued star with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.607. The star is located 186 light-years (57 parsecs) away from the Solar System, based on its parallax, and is drifting further away with a […]

The end-Botomian mass extinction event, also known as the late early Cambrian extinctions, refer to two extinction intervals that occurred during Stages 4 and 5 of the Cambrian Period, approximately 513 to 509 million years ago. Estimates for the decline in global diversity over these events range from 50% of marine genera up to 80%. […]

Pliopapio is an extinct genus of Old World monkey known from the latest part of the Miocene to the early Pliocene Epochs from the Afar Region of Ethiopia. It was first described based on a very large series of fossils from the site of Aramis in the Middle Awash, which has been dated by 40Ar/39Ar […]

Thiomargarita is a genus (family Thiotrichaceae) which includes the vacuolate sulfur bacteria species Thiomargarita namibiensis, Candidatus Thiomargarita nelsonii, and Ca. Thiomargarita joergensii. In 2022, scientists working in a Caribbean mangrove discovered an extremely large member of the genus, provisionally named T. magnifica, whose cells are easily visible to the naked eye at up to 2 […]
