The brain-body connection: Study reveals that boys with good motor skills are also great at problem-solving
Here is another reason to get your son or young brother to take up physical activities that train up their muscles. A recent Finnish study compared the cognitive functions of children with different levels of motor skills. The experiment found that the more a boy exercised his muscles, the better he is at solving a problem with […]

Just because a planet has oxygen, doesn’t mean it has signs of life
The presence of oxygen in the atmosphere of a planet might no longer be considered a reliable indicator of the potential presence of organic life. Researchers recently demonstrated that they could create oxygen and organic compounds in models of planetary atmospheres without resorting to the chemical processes that give rise to life on Earth. Thousands of exoplanets have been found during […]

New research finds that the brains of fruit flies work similarly to advanced computer algorithms
Fruit flies and computers apparently follow the same thinking process when it comes to analyzing unknown information. A new study indicated that computer algorithms could take some hints from the way flies identify new smells. A fly can swiftly determine whether or not it has smelled an odor before. Based on the familiarity of the scent, the insect determines […]

Drones can take birdwatching to the next level
Aerial drones are being touted as a much better way to watch over endangered species in the wilderness. U.K. researchers recently suggest sending out drones with thermal-sensing cameras that can spot the well-camouflaged specimens and hidden nests of the European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus). While numerous in overall number and still common throughout most of Europe, this species is growing increasingly rare […]

Research team creates a variety of eco-friendly battery shapes using 3D printing technology
Researchers from South Korea have tapped additive manufacturing techniques and environment-friendly materials to develop a plethora of new batteries. These new energy storage devices can be printed in the right shape and size, so they can fit even the smallest and oddest-shaped wearable electronics. There is an increasing number of flexible electronics and wireless devices that are […]

Lignin-nylon composite can be used as an eco-friendly 3D printing material, researchers say
Researchers have found a great use for lignin produced by bio-refining processes. By combining the woody waste product with nylon, they came up with a renewable feedstock material that can be used by 3D printers to manufacture eco-friendly products. Lignin comprises a good percentage of the mass of a plant. It is responsible for the rigidity of a plant’s cell walls. […]

Stars making stars: Astronomers observe a star so big, it gave birth to its twin
The exciting birth of a newly discovered star turned out to be an even bigger find than expected. British researchers found that the newborn stellar body is accompanied by a much smaller star that formed from the leftover materials that created its mother. MM 1a is a huge protostar whose light takes more than 10,000 years to reach our […]

New space theory suggests that black holes may “spit” out the matter that falls into them
A black hole might still be inescapable for anything that isn’t faster than light, but researchers now argue that it’s also not a one-way trip into oblivion. Their scientific papers, published in Physical Review Letters and Physical Review D, proposes that black holes will eventually turn into white holes that spew up matter they’ve eaten in the distant past. […]

Research team detects the existence of water in a multiple asteroids for the first time
Infrared satellite imagery of near-Earth objects have picked up the presence of mineral crystals that contain liquid water. Japanese researchers remarked that this was the first time hydrated minerals have been found inside asteroids. Further investigation of these imprisoned water samples can tell us about how our planet got its water in the first place. Earth is the sole planet in […]

New class of strong biocompatible adhesives made from silk
Silk is usually used to make beautiful yet durable clothes and fabrics. Korean researchers demonstrated that the ancient material can be used as an effective yet comfortable bio-compatible adhesive for epidermal electronics. These skin-attached electronics need an “interface” that connects the sensor and the biological surface. The glue must be strong enough to keep the sensor in place […]
