Scientoon on Tyres can be recycled

 Scientoon on Tyres can be recycled

A team of researchers from India and Germany has devised a new process to retrieve almost all

different types of rubber from used and discarded vulcanised scrap rubber. The process not only

reclaims a high amount of rubber but also is of superior the quality which can be repurposed into

other products including making new tyres.

Scientoon on “99-Million-Year-Old Flower Beetle with Pollen Grains on Its Legs Found Encased in Amber”

Insect pollination is a key contributor to the rise of flowering plants. Both insects & flowering plants were common during the mid-Cretaceous epoch, but physical evidence for Cretaceous insect pollination of flowering plants was until now absent. An international team of palaeontologists from the United States and China has now found an ancient beetle with pollen grains still stuck to its legs trapped in a 99-million-year-old piece of Burmese amber.

Kindly find the attached scientoon based on above research.
