How is it that frogs can jump up to 20 times their own body length, while a froghopper’s leap is equivalent to a human jumping over a 210 metre (700 ft) skyscraper?

Given the complexity of the mammalian middle ear, evolutionists assumed it originated only once. But the discovery of a tiny fossil jawbone makes the evolutionary story doubly difficult.

For bones to deposit the hard calcium mineral in the right place, they need the protein osteocalcin. Recent discovery of its crystal structure shows that it binds calcium in exactly the right geometry for proper crystal growth.

Creation for Kids dolphins designed by God

Geckos can stick to almost anything because of their feet’s fine structure. This has inspired powerful (and self-cleaning) adhesives. Now a spider’s feet are shown to stick the same way.

Green Power (photosynthesis): God’s solar power plants amaze chemists

Scientists have finally worked out how the Venus flytrap snaps shut on insect prey. But they are still baffled about the same thing Darwin was: how did this mechanism evolve?

They are far more intense than man-made colours, but we are beginning to learn from the Creator.

Flat leaves are ubiquitous, but why should this be?

Scientists manage (at last!) to copy insect ‘super-rubber’—a rubber so astonishingly stretchy, it makes synthetic types pale by comparison.
