Scientists think the smallest possum, the Little Pygmy-Possum, might be living on Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Old records may have mistaken them for another type of possum. This could mean changes are needed to protect their homes.

@ScienceDesk @newscientist Wow, that's amazing! 🤩 A new chemical bond discovered after more than a decade is a huge breakthrough! 🔬 I love how science is always pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible. 🌟 The fact that this bond was first predicted in the 1930s and has only now been created is a testament to the power of human curiosity and perseverance. 💡 Thanks for sharing this exciting news! 📰 #Chemistry #NewDiscovery #Science

Astronomers just found another gas giant that they're dubbing "Super Jupiter". It's 6 times larger! They're pretty rare (gas giants) so this is especially cool.

Webb's telescope has spotted a brand new feature: a massive jet stream zipping around Jupiter's equator! This discovery helps us understand Jupiter's wild atmosphere and showcases Webb's incredible power.

The #largest #genome of any insect, seven times the size of the #HumanGenome, was recently #discovered in a grasshopper. In a #study published in #PLOSONE, researchers from the #GermanLeibnizInstitute for the #Analysis of #Biodiversity Change & #CzechAcademyOfSciences #prove wrong the idea of #insect genomes being comparatively small/less complex.

#Scientists believe they have #discovered a #new #parasitic #fungus which #preys on trapdoor #spiders in #Brazil ’s Atlantic #rainforest .

The #rare #organism , which is purple, belongs to a group of #fungi that #infect #invertebrates & take over the host. A closeup image shows the fungus wrapped around the body of a #TrapdoorSpider , poking out of the burrow from which the #arachnid grabs insects.
