Newly created “e-skin” allows you to manipulate virtual objects without seeing or touching them
German and Austrian researchers have developed the smallest form of electronic skin to date. The e-skin device is about three micrometers thick, making it thinner than an average piece of human hair. The technology adds to the ever-growing industry of electronic devices set to merge robotics with humans. This new e-skin device can be placed […]

Balding breakthrough on the horizon? Scientists discover cells that trigger hair growth
Researchers from the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF) say that they have found a potential treatment for baldness. Their findings, which will be published soon in Cell, state that regulatory T cells, otherwise known as Tregs, play a role in hair growth. These immune cells are known for controlling inflammation but are now being observed […]

Zinc battery breakthrough may allow homes to efficiently store energy for off-grid use
Since the early 1990s, scientists have attempted to create a battery that would replace the standard lithium-ion variety. The difficulty in such a project lay in the energy density of the power source. Scientists found that while other materials proved to be more energy-efficient, their cycles were, if anything, pathetic. Hope was sparked several years […]

Rapid radio bursts detected from possible alien civilization located 3 billion light years from Earth
Breakthrough Listen, the $100 million space initiative to look for intelligent life in the universe, has received 15 short but extremely powerful radio pulses located roughly three billion light years from Earth. These mysterious signals have excited scientists as they come from a repeating source — the first to ever be recorded in human history. […]

Yes, they’re conscious: Chimpanzee learns how to play paper, scissors, rock with a human child
Chimpanzees have the learning capacity of a four-year child, being able to learn simple circular relationships as seen in a rock-paper-scissors game. The new study, published in Primates, demonstrates a chimp’s ability to gather information and use this in a real-life situation. Researchers say that this proves the higher levels of intelligence possessed by primates. […]

Goldfish manufacture alcohol in their own cells to lower their biological freezing temperature in frigid waters
Goldfish fill their bodies with alcohol to survive for days (even months) in oxygen-free frozen water. Evolutionary physiologists say that they have now discovered the mechanism in which the fish — and their wild relatives, the crucian carp — are able to live in an environment where most vertebrate animals would die within minutes. Typically, […]

BREAKTHROUGH as certain probiotics are found to produce powerful antibiotics that kill superbugs
Scientists at the Baylor College of Medicine are saying that next-generation probiotics can reduce the risk of becoming infected with the bacterium Clostridium difficile, also known a C. difficile or C. diff. This is a common bacterial infection which causes gastrointestinal issues such as bowel discomfort and diarrhea. Treatment for the condition usually involves several […]

Interior of the moon likely contains billions of gallons of water
Breakthroughs in image scanning and material analysis could make lunar missions easier, if we are to take the latest information being released in Nature Geoscience into consideration. Researchers from Brown University are saying they have evidence that shows the moon’s mantle is water-rich, an assumption that was only heavily hinted at but never empirically proven. […]

Pigeons found to have startling ability to “build knowledge” almost like humans
The next time someone calls you a “bird brain,” you may just want to say, “I know.” A new study published in Nature Communications concluded that pigeons can pass on and build from the wisdom of previous generations. Scientists from Oxford University have said that homing pigeons are the only known species, besides humans, in […]

Vitamin D helps friendly bacteria repopulate the gut, making it the perfect campanion to probiotic supplements
A high fat diet alone cannot trigger a metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions associated with an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. Researchers of a new study published in Physiology said that vitamin D deficiency is needed for this syndrome to progress. Authors reached this conclusion after observing mice and their gut bacteria. […]
