Scientists Discover Earth's Inhospitable Future

Scientists have determined that Earth will become uninhabitable for humans in 25 million years. Geologists have created computer models of the planet's tectonic activity and climate. Analysis has shown that over time, all seven continents will merge into a new supercontinent called Pangea Ultima, which will be practically uninhabitable. The Earth will have an excessively humid and hot climate, with air temperatures reaching 40-50 degrees Celsius. Approximately half of the land will become desert, and 8-16% of polar regions will be comparable to modern tropics.

Chinese scientists have bred silk moths whose silk is stronger than Kevlar. Researchers from Donghua University extracted the protein MiSp from the spider Araneus ventricosus and implanted it into ordinary silkworms. As a result, they were able to produce transgenic silkworms whose silk was approximately twice as strong as their conventional counterparts, while also being more resistant to stretching and other mechanical loads. In terms of its qualities, it was comparable to Kevlar and genuine spider silk.
