Electrical Signaling Among Plants Via Soil Fungal Network

If you were standing in a field of tomatoes, you might be surprised to know that the soil underneath your feet is teeming with electrical signals being sent among plants as described in a new research study.1 These results continue to expand the startling complexity of plant adaptation and point directly to an Omnipotent Creator who engineered it all.


Saharan Dust Cloud Strikes United States

Recently, the southeastern United States was hit by a huge cloud of dust from the Sahara desert that drifted across the Atlantic Ocean. A second such cloud arrived soon after.1,2

These Saharan dust clouds are actually quite common, but this plume is one of the most extreme ever recorded.3


Design Principles Confer Optimal Light Harvesting in Plants

Photosynthesis in plants starts with the absorption of light energy from sunlight, but scientists have been baffled as to how plants utilize the noisy solar spectrum to power the photosynthetic process.


Seals Help Swedes to Chart ’Paths of the Seas’

Swedish researchers have recently reported some newly documented “paths of the seas”1,2 thanks to some helpful (and high-tech) Weddell seals, plus some satellite-linked “glider” robots.3-5


Titan Receding from Saturn Faster than Expected

Data obtained from the Cassini space probe show that Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is receding away from Saturn a hundred times faster than scientists previously thought.1,2
