New research claims to show first ever evidence of cooperative ‘rescue’ observed in the birds Plans to track Australian magpies for a study were thwarted when the birds worked together to remove the devices from one another, according to new research from scientists at the University of the Sunshine Coast. The behavior marks the first […]
Researchers set a new record for the amount of energy released in a nuclear fusion reaction Oxford-based scientists announced on Wednesday that they have hit a “major milestone” in the quest to make nuclear fusion a viable and low-carbon energy source. The researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET) managed to set a new record […]
Fixing sleeping habits can drastically decrease calorie intake, a new study has shown Sleeping more can help people to consume less calories per day and to lose weight, if those healthy sleeping habits are maintained over a prolonged period of time, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago, Illinois. […]
The new electromechanical sensors are as precise as PCR lab tests and show results in four minutes, researchers say Scientists at Fudan University in Shanghai have come up with a new method for coronavirus testing, which they say is as sensitive but much quicker than PCR lab testing. The new method involves electromechanical sensors capable […]
A new paper might seem to take “a step backward in science” but it shows how exciting paleontology really is, one of its authors has said The monstrous megalodon, believed to be the largest shark that ever existed, might’ve looked nothing like they’ve shown us in the 2018 blockbuster ‘The Meg’ or B-movies like ‘Mega […]
T-cell immune responses, induced by an infection, seem to provide long-lasting protection against Covid-19 On Wednesday, the University of Zurich published the findings of their recent study into long-lasting immunity against Covid-19. The research highlights the important role T-cells play in fighting off Covid-19; the scientists found that the virus-busting immune cells can remain in […]
Researchers found that kitties who don’t have to hunt for survival have smaller brains A study published in the Royal Society Open Science Journal on Wednesday has confirmed scientific suspicion that animals domesticated by humans experience a shrinking in brain size. European and African wildcats both have larger brains than the housebound felines we keep […]
A group of researchers has managed to regrow functioning limbs in frogs A group of scientists has been able to kickstart regenerative processes in African clawed frogs with a wearable bioreactor infused with a mixture of drugs, a new study published by the Science Advances journal on Wednesday shows. The study was performed by scientists […]
The leading figures in science jointly expressed their outrage over ‘scientific racism’ accusations Dozens of leading UK scientists called on Imperial College London not to demonize 19th century biologist Thomas Huxley, blasting accusations against him of ‘scientific racism’ as unfair and underlining that the key supporter of Darwin was “an ardent abolitionist.” The group of […]
Researchers rally against solar geoengineering as a method of fighting climate change An international group of scientists and experts wants all nations to sign a pact banning public funding and deployment of solar geoengineering, as well as outdoor experiments revolving around ways to ‘dim the sun.’ “Solar geoengineering at planetary scale is not governable in […]
With enhanced tactile feedback, the patch allows an operator to control a robot remotely and feel what it feels Researchers in China have developed a wireless flexible skin patch that enables the exchange of tactile stimuli between a human operator and a robot. Crafted by a team of scientists from City University of Hong Kong, […]
The atmosphere of an exoplanet relatively close to Earth in cosmic terms is in the spotlight Scientists have announced that a remarkable planet could reveal the mysteries of many space formations, after water vapor was detected in its atmosphere. Listed under the name TOI-674 b, the exoplanet – so called because it orbits not around […]
If confirmed, this would be the first ever celestial object of the kind to be discovered Astronomers have identified signals emitted by what they believe could be the first moon to be discovered outside the solar system. The findings are tentative, with the celestial body being too distant to observe it directly. Details of the […]
The first generations to occupy space outposts may be left with few nutrition choices, scholars believe Two scientists have suggested there is a very real possibility the first space colonists may turn to cannibalism, noting that failures in crops and a lack of supplies may leave people with very few choices. Speaking with the Metro […]
Human brain cells cultured in a petri dish and assisted by microelectrodes picked up the art of playing the ‘Pong’ video game significantly faster than AI did. Researchers at Australia’s Cortical Labs harnessed hundreds of thousands of human brain cells grown on top of arrays of microelectrodes, teaching the biotechnological hybrid they dubbed ‘DishBrain’ to […]
