New Clues Add 40,000 Years to Age of Human Species
...oughly 130,000 years. No one was able to securely tie both sets of fossils to the same time period. "Fortunately, small pumice fragments from two sediment layers were perfect for precise isotopic dating," says McDougall. “The pumice clasts are produced by explosive volcanic eruptions, and the rocks w...Researchers make gains in understanding antibiotic resistance
... "The idea is to take a bit of one antibiotic and tie it to another. So, if resistance arises due to a mutation in one site, there is still another binding site that can be targeted. It's like multiple drug therapies for HIV, in which the drugs attack several sites at once. And if the virus mutates to a...Penn Researchers Use Robotic Surgery
