Puffins are on the rebound: Researchers thought they were declining but they were just hiding from seals
Researchers have laid to rest earlier fears that the population of puffins in the U.K. was going down. They reported that the total number of birds in the Farne Islands actually increased by nine percent – they have merely moved to different areas of the island group. At first, the National Trust grew concerned when […]

Valleys and channels on Mars reveal evidence of ancient groundwater
The deepest parts of the craters that dot the dusty Martian landscape conceal channels and valleys carved out by the passage of liquid water eons ago. European researchers consider them to be signs that Mars possessed a massive groundwater system in its distant past. Furthermore, the European Space Agency (ESA) research team uncovered evidence of […]

Dino-discovery: Small T-Rex ancestor found in Utah
Researchers recently discovered the fossil remnants of an ancestor of the Tyrannosaurus rex. Unlike the star of Jurassic Park, this so-called “harbinger of doom” measures less than a third of the “king of tyrant lizards.” Moros intrepidus lived in Utah 97 million years ago. It only weighed 180 pounds and stood as tall as a […]

New NASA mission could unveil more secrets of the universe
Move over, Hubble – the upcoming Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) offers researchers the best look at the universe. An extensive analysis of the space telescope’s capabilities predicts that it may discover up to 1,400 new exoplanets around other stars. NASA and researchers designed WFIRST to seek out new planets outside the solar system. It will […]

Some bacteria can go into a “zombie” state to survive starvation
A common species of bacteria demonstrated the ability to assume a “zombie” state when faced with inhospitable conditions. This survival strategy might explain why other microorganisms still reappear despite seemingly getting eradicated by antibiotics, starvation, or other factors. Formally called “oligotrophic growth,” the state differs from normal dormancy. The bacteria remain active, but their cellular […]

Solar winds deposit ingredients for water on the moon
Solar winds may be responsible for increasing the amount of water on the moon. Researchers report that the stream of energetic particles from the sun leaves hydrogen atoms on the barren face of Earth’s natural satellite, according to a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Their team’s computer model simulated the chemical […]

Discovery: The sun’s magnetic waves react to sound
The dynamic process of thermonuclear fusion within the heart of the sun is not just limited to generating light and heat. It also produces powerful sound waves that travel to the corona of the star and affect the powerful magnetic field of the celestial body. Researchers from Northumbria University made the discovery, which flew in the face of established theories […]

Russian satellite captures unexplained “explosions of light” in Earth’s atmosphere
Despite decades of studying space with increasingly advanced technology on the surface and in orbit, researchers continued to be baffled by space weather. The latest case involved strange bursts of intense light that took place many miles above the surface of the Earth as recorded by the Lomonosov astronomical satellite. The flashes were not the first instance […]

Renewable fire-retardant coating developed by researchers
Few materials can match the performance of cellulose and clay: They’re readily available, nontoxic, and sustainable. Researchers from Texas A&M University leveraged the characteristics of these natural substances to invent a renewable flame-retardant coating. The new coating offers a whole new level of fire protection for polyurethane foam and other highly flammable materials. Furthermore, it’s made from some of […]

Microprocessors generate heat: Running an LED in reverse could cool them
Researchers found a way to turn a light-emitting diode into a cooling system. By reversing the electrodes of the LED, its light chilled nearby electronics. The new approach holds great promise for solid-state cooling tech. The next generation of microprocessors must fit numerous transistors into cramped conditions. Existing cooling techniques cannot vent the immense heat fast enough. Laser cooling was the first […]
