Researchers develop displacement sensor that reveals important data about the nature of gravity
A Japanese research team has come up with a displacement sensor that measures the gravitational force exerted by the smallest masses. They believe that their new instrument has made it possible to study the nature of gravity in greater detail. Gravity remains one of the most mysterious phenomena in modern science. The physical laws that […]

Empathy is NOT unique to humans: Researchers discover that rats feel the pain of others, too
Rats share some behavioral traits with humans. Now, a new Dutch study claims that the animals also empathize with others and share their pain. When a person experiences physical pain, the cingulate cortex of the brain activates in response. This region also displays activity when the person sees another individual getting hurt. Researchers at the […]

“Near miss” between galaxies produces new generation of stars and planets
Millions of years ago, two galaxies barely avoided colliding with each other. Their near-collision triggered such intense forces that new stars and planets have spawned on the galactic sides that all but brushed each other by. Researchers recently released photos that the Hubble Space Telescope took of the NGC 4485 galaxy. A part of the […]

Major core protein in plants helps fight infection
Researchers have identified a core protein in plants that may play a significant role in fighting off infectious bacteria. The molecule has been shown to control the immune response of plants. When activated, the molecule boosts the immune system of plants, allowing them to resist diseases. It may help protect crops against bacterial infections. The […]

The Earth’s mantle is a “geochemically diverse mosaic,” reveals team of geologists
The typical visual depiction of the Earth’s mantle as a solid band of yellow-orange sitting between the crust and core has just received an update. A recent paper in Nature Geoscience now describes it as “more heterogenous” than what people previously thought. An international group led by the University of Utah provided a more diverse representation of the mantle, far different compared […]

Scientists successfully brew beer and mead using 5,000-year-old “resurrected” yeasts discovered in the Holy Land
Want to know what ancient Middle Eastern beer tastes like? Try asking this team of researchers from Israel: In a study published in mBio, microbiologists and archeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority and four local universities used yeast strains that lay dormant for thousands of years to brew potable “ancient beers.” For the multi-layered study, researchers isolated yeast from tiny […]

Pompeii had streets repaired with iron before it was buried, according to recent research
Like any ancient Roman city, paved stone covered many of the streets of Pompeii. However, it recently came to light that workers – who were possibly slaves – repaired damaged parts by pouring molten iron into the ruts. Once the iron cooled, it filled up the ruts carved into the paved stone street by the constant passage […]

Researchers find that the Earth’s mantle is “more dynamic” than previously believed
The medial zone of the Earth’s three-layered interior, the mantle is itself divided into upper and lower parts. Most experts believe that the lower mantle is dormant, but a recent European study found greater signs of dynamic activity in the region. The lower mantle starts 410 miles (660 km) beneath the crust of the planet. […]

Which brain cells are active during deep sleep – and how do they affect memory formation?
There are neurons in the brain that activate during deep sleep to create memories. A new animal study showed that these brain cells might be the same as the ones responsible for investigating new objects. The experiment tracked the activity of single cells deep in the brains of both male and female mice as they […]
