Scientists embark on Darwin's route
Scientists are embarking on a journey on a ship following Charles Darwin's route. A group of researchers has set off on a two-year expedition, called Darwin200, on the Dutch ship Oosterschelde. They will retrace the path Charles Darwin took 192 years ago before the discovery of the theory of evolution. The ship will serve as a floating laboratory for naturalists and conservationists from around the world. They will develop projects to save the species described by Darwin in the 19th century.

Scientists Discover Potential Way of Transmitting Sound in Space
Scientists from Finland have found a potential way of transmitting sound in space. During the experiment, they demonstrated the effectiveness of 'vacuum phonon tunneling'. Sound waves are unable to propagate in space because it lacks molecules, atoms, and ions. However, sound vibrations can 'jump' from one object to another even through a vacuum gap, if certain conditions are created. The scientists attempted to recreate these conditions. The scientists emphasize that their experiment cannot be considered direct proof that sound can propagate in a vacuum. However, the results of their work can be used in other fields of science.

Discovery of 40 New Spider Species in Australia
In Australia, 40 new spider species have been discovered. All the species found belong to a group of spiders that build burrows in a Y-shaped form. Each shelter has not only a main entrance but also a hidden one for escaping in case of danger. Over the past six months, scientists have found around 136 samples of such spider burrows. The scientists will now have to describe the new species, catalog them, and assign each one a unique name.
