“Heat wave” pulses through graphite as scientists achieve a surprising mechanism of heat transfer
Researchers successfully forced heat to move in a different way than usual. They got it to travel like a wave through a graphite medium at the same speed as sound waves. Unlike light or sound, heat does not propagate through waves. It spreads via diffusion and bounces off excited molecules in all directions. If heat […]

Flashing lights and pink noise could be the key to preventing Alzheimer’s
Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few […]

Stellar flare on Jupiter-sized star 10 times more explosive than any event on the Sun, reveals expert
Many stars out in space are much smaller and colder than the sun. But these small celestial bodies may still unleash stellar flares that dwarf the mightiest solar flares known to man. Researchers have recently detected a white-light superflare from a star around the size of Jupiter. It is the coolest and smallest one that […]

It turns out, dinosaurs also had great hearing – which made them even better hunters than previously thought
Birds possess sharp hearing, all the better to catch their prey. A new study on alligators suggests that the crocodilians share the same ability. And both groups of animals might have shared the same keen sense of hearing with dinosaurs. Birds are often described as feathery dinosaurs. Crocodilians are also considered to be the closest living relations […]

The heart could get a new lease on life, thanks to mysterious abdominal tissue
Children born with extreme cardiac issues often need to undergo a heart transplant within the first decade of their lives. But Illinois-based researchers believe that transplanting an abdominal tissue called omentum to the defective heart can help reduce stress on the organ, thereby eliminating the need for a heart transplant. Defined as a curtain of fatty tissue […]

Does Mars have an active groundwater system? Scientists say YES
Liquid water had long since deserted the surface of Mars, leaving only the faint marks of its passage in the form of dried-out channels, lake-beds, and valleys. But researchers said that the Red Planet might harbor flowing water hundreds of meters underground. Previous studies have indicated that the Martian south pole contained lakes of liquid […]

Scientists say that aliens are looking at us like “animals in a zoo”
The Earth serves as the galactic equivalent of a zoo, suggested European researchers at a recent conference on alien life. They believed that aliens have been keeping our planet under observation and quarantine to avoid causing panic among the human population who are not ready to make first contact with extraterrestrial beings. Many studies indicate […]

Advanced communication? Spider monkeys adjust their “whinnies” to regain contact with their group
At least one species of monkey seems to understand that low-frequency sounds travel much further than high-pitched ones. Whenever a Geoffroy’s spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) gets separated from its group, the animal deliberately reduces the pitch of its calls. By lowering the frequency of its voice, the isolated monkey makes itself heard over greater distances. […]

Mars not only had rivers bigger than those on Earth; they flowed more recently than previously believed
Mars might be a dry world now, but researchers recently described a different landscape more than a billion years ago. Back then, the Red Planet produced mighty waterways that dwarfed the Amazon River, the broadest body of water on Earth today. Furthermore, the ancient Martian rivers might have lasted much longer than expected. There might […]

Wigner’s friend is about to get REAL: Experiment hints at potential of “multiple realities”
If he were alive today, the famous researcher Eugene Wigner would probably be delighted to know that his “friend in another reality” turned out to be real. A recently published Austrian study proved the possibility of his theory by showing that two realities might exist simultaneously on the quantum level. Supported by the University of […]
