Moscow: Scientists claim to have found a worm that has been alive for 46,000 years. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden found the worm in a frozen state. The worm was in a state called cryptobiosis 40 meters (131.2 feet) below the surface in the Siberian permafrost, said team leader Professor Teimuras Kurzalia. The study was published in the journal PLOS Genetics. In the genetic analysis, it turned out that these worms belong to a new species. Scientists have named the species Panagrolaimus colimenis.
The worm was found frozen in a round shape. While in the cryptobiotic state, organisms can survive the absence of water and oxygen, survive high and low temperatures, and salty conditions; At this point, Kurzalia explained, living things would be in a special state between death and life. In a cryptobiotic state, the metabolic rate of organisms will decrease to an undetectable level. He said that it is possible to maintain life in this condition and start life from the first stage. significant discovery and revived organisms from this condition for many years He stated that creatures existed for many years.
Five years ago, scientists from the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological Problems of Soil Science in Russia discovered two river species in Siberia. Then researcher Anastasia Shatilovich revived them with water. the rivers were transferred to labs in Germany for further study. It was discovered that organisms in the cryptobiosis state produce the sugar trehalose and survive death.
Australia explains in the tweet that if any other similar objects are found, the Australian Space Agency should be notified. A large cylindrical object of bronze color washed ashore. This object is 10 feet long and 8 feet wide. Aviation experts responded that the unknown object is likely to be the fuel tank of a space rocket that fell into the Indian Ocean.
Previously, there were campaigns that the part of Chandrayaan 3, which was launched on July 14, was an unknown object. But this was rejected by space agencies. The experts explained that the found object is several months old
as part of bringing back lost users, meta will introduce more features on the new social media platform thread. Similar to Twitter, Threads is a new meta platform. This is an app that works alongside Instagram. A major limitation pointed out from the beginning of the app is the lack of direct messaging. this problem is solved first.
Mosseri said in an interview with the Washington Post that he will soon introduce the facility to chat via DM (direct message) in Threads. Currently, 'following' and 'for you' feeds, which separate posts similarly to Twitter, have started to be made available in threads. In this For You feed, you can see posts from accounts you follow and suggest threads. But in the following feed you can see only posts of people you follow.
Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta, posted yesterday that Threads has lost half of its users. Threads is an app that acquired more than 100 million users within five days of its launch. Zuckerberg's response is that this is a normal situation. Zuckerberg said that he hopes that the functionality will improve soon as new features are added to the app. Thread was criticized for its limited functionality when it was launched.
