Fossil Footprints Trample Evolution's Timeline
Researchers accidentally discovered what appears to be tiny footprints in Precambrian rock.

Stressosomes: Bacteria's Ingenious Coping Mechanism
Advancing technology continues to reveal new aspects of cellular function. Molecular biologists have known that “stressosomes,” large protein complexes in bacterial cells, play some role in enabling single-cell life forms to cope with ever-changing environments.

Insect Designed with a Spring in Its Step
Scientists are discovering engineering details of the biological structures that enable some animals to jump exceedingly far for their sizes. Froghoppers are insects that can jump 100 times their body length, and it turns out that sheer muscular strength is not nearly sufficient to account for this feat.

7 Wonders Creation Museum Celebrates 10-year Anniversary
Lloyd and Doris Anderson entertained approximately 100 guests for the 10th anniversary of the 7 Wonders Creation Museum near Silver Lake, Washington, on Saturday, September 27.

Biomineralization: An Engineering Masterpiece
Computerized tomography (CT) scans use computing power to compile two-dimensional X-ray images into a three-dimensional view, and researchers are optimistic that a new form of high-resolution CT scanning at the molecular level will give “scientists precious new information about how Mother Nature forms shells, bones, and other hard structures.”1 They hope to learn how to mimic the st
