Experts say your face is designed for better gesturing and non-verbal communication
Humans wordlessly communicate with others by moving their eyebrows and other facial features in unique ways. A study suggests that the heavy use of non-verbal communication might have influenced the evolution of human faces to grow softer and more malleable over time. The softer the face, the easier it is to move its features in […]

Meteoroids release water vapor into space when they hit the moon – could it have water under its surface?
A new study suggests that small amounts of water might hide just beneath the surface of the moon. The lunar water only emerged after a meteoroid slammed deep enough into the lunar rock to extract it. The Apollo astronauts brought back samples of lunar rocks from 1969 to 1972. Analyses found no trace of water in […]

Thinking, feeling insects? Study reveals paper wasps are capable of a form of logical (deductive) reasoning
The paper wasp has become the first invertebrate animal that proves capable of transitive inference – the same form of logical reasoning that humans and other, more complex animals use for deduction. Transitive inference leverages known links to reason out unknown relationships. An animal capable of such logic knows that if A is greater than […]

How 45-year-old data led to discovering lava lamp-like “blobs” that oozed from the sun
Researchers looking for evidence that solar wind formed lines of blob-like shapes finally stumbled across the distinctly-shaped phenomena in space probe data taken more than 40 years ago. In 1974 and 1976, Germany and NASA launched the Helios space probes into orbit around the sun. The two spacecraft took readings of the solar wind and particles for years. […]

The wonders of the human body: Do humans have smell receptors on their tongues?
Your sense of smell may not be limited to just your nose. New research suggests that humans have olfactory receptors on their tongues as well as inside their nostrils. Millions of smell receptors fill the nostrils of mammals, including humans. Their effectiveness varies, but people have a sharper sense of smell than most realize. Other […]

It turns out, there is water on the moon – experts say it “bounces” around the surface
The moon is not as dry as it appears to be. Liquid water travels across the surface of the natural satellite, say scientists, released from the lunar soil by rising temperatures and moving between cold spots until things cool down. While liquid water will not last for long on the surface of the moon, it […]

Researchers are “storing” energy using eggshells with new conductive material
The spent shells of chicken eggs might go from unwanted biowaste to a cheap, renewable, and valuable alternative material to metals in lithium-ion batteries. A German-led study reports that powdered chicken eggshells successfully store large amounts of electrical energy. Led by researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the international team tested eggshells as a […]

Quantum computer allows you to see “multiple futures”
Quantum computers might one day predict the future. While looking at more than 14 million possible futures remains out of reach, the quantum simulator used by Singaporean researchers proved capable of viewing 16 different outcomes. Traditional computers code data as binary digits (bits) of either 0 or 1. Their quantum counterparts store information into quantum […]

The moon is tectonically active and STILL shrinking, leaving cliffs on its surface, according to data from NASA missions
The Earth’s natural satellite may be wrinkling “like a raisin.” New findings showed that the moon remains tectonically active and still experiences “moonquakes” such as those picked up by sensors from the Apollo program over 50 years ago. The moonquakes followed what experts called thrust faults – cliffs (scarps) that emerged on the brittle lunar […]

Novel finding suggests magnets can improve working memory
There may be a new alternative option for treating Alzheimer’s disease or dementia without resorting to toxic pharmaceutical drugs. A new approach uses magnets to stimulate the brain’s working memory. Researchers at Duke University have recently debuted an experimental therapy called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) which applies a high-frequency magnetic pulse to the left prefrontal cortex […]
