Tests done in Italy suggest that worms may have the potential to turn the moon’s grey, dusty surface into fertile, cultivable soil. The research on Eisenia fetida, which is commonly known as the manure worm or the redworm, was coordinated by Pisa’s Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and featured the collaboration of the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) (ANSA)

JNS.org - Tel Aviv University researchers have in a major breakthrough recorded and analyzed sounds distinctly emitted by plants, the institution announced on Thursday.

For the first time in the world, researchers at Tel Aviv University recorded and analyzed sounds distinctly emitted by plants. The click-like sounds, similar to the popping of popcorn, are emitted at a volume similar to human speech, but at high frequencies, beyond the hearing range of the human ear.

A global perspective on environmental issues. Our mission is to inform, educate, enable and create a platform for global environmental action.

Scientists discover clicking sounds, which humans can't hear and which differ based on species and type of stress; wonder what uses other plants, animals make of the information

The research shakes up what most botanists thought they knew about the plant kingdom, which had been considered largely silent.

'Our findings suggest that the world around us is full of plant sounds, and that these sounds contain information.'

The click-like sounds, similar to the popping of popcorn, are emitted at a volume similar to human speech.

Scientists find recordings of plants show they make occasional ultrasonic popping noises likely heard by insects and mammals
