Throughout history, some of the most important scientists have "bent the rules" every once in a while to achieve their goals. Always for the betterment of

Researchers have revived a worm that was frozen 46,000 years ago which were below the surface in the Siberian permafrost in a dormant state.

Scientists in Russia were thawing a sample of Siberian permafrost, when they found something completely unexpected — a pair of living roundworms that were in a state of suspended animation for more than 46,000 years.

They must have been in a hurry. A photo on social media shows a Plaquemines Parish Sheriffs unit traveling with a hose detached from a gas pump. Apparently, the deputy

The discovery, published this week in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS Genetics, offers new insight into how the worms, also known as nematodes, can survive in extreme conditions for extraordinarily long periods of time

Scientists have successfully revived roundworms that were in the dormant stage for 46,000 years in the Siberian permafrost. They were discovered in 2018

The roundworm, of a previously unknown species, survived 40 meters below the surface in the Siberian permafrost in a dormant state known as cryptobiosis.

This remarkable finding offers a glimpse into the ancient history and survival mechanisms of these tiny yet resilient organisms.
