Sleep and memories: Study shows sound cues can help participants solve puzzles while they’re ASLEEP
Researchers from Northwestern University have found a fascinating way to activate problem-solving during sleep. In a study published in the journal Psychological Science, the researchers explained how they used sound cues to stimulate information processing in sleeping participants. When the volunteers woke up the next day, they were able to work out the brainteasers they failed to solve the previous night. “This study provides […]

CYBORG: Researchers create the first self-healing robots from living frog tissues
Researchers created the first living, self-healing robots using stem cells from frogs. Named “xenobots” after the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) from which the stem cells were taken, the machines look like tiny blobs of wiggling pink flesh. “These are novel living machines,” said Joshua Bongard, a professor of computer science at the University of Vermont (UVM) […]

For the first time, an asteroid has been found with essential ingredients for life
For the first time, researchers have discovered essential ingredients of life on the surface of an asteroid. Led by Queenie Chan, a professor of earth science at the Royal Holloway, University of London, the researchers analyzed a single speck of dust that the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency brought home in 2010 from the asteroid Itokawa as part of its […]

Study: Mars was once habitable; atmosphere likely formed through the same process as Earth’s
A tantalizing new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy suggests that Mars might have been habitable before. Researchers from Hong Kong and China found that the Martian atmosphere might have evolved in the same way the Earth’s atmosphere did – it was once filled with toxic gases that warmed the planet, then a great oxidation event that […]

Turmeric from Bangladesh sometimes contains lead-laced chemical compounds, study finds
American and Bangladeshi researchers found that turmeric is occasionally laced with lead in Bangladesh, one of the world’s leading turmeric-growing regions. In a study published in the journal Environmental Research, the team revealed that most of the surveyed districts added lead to turmeric to make them look more yellow. Turmeric producers add lead for color Previous studies implicated turmeric […]

Milky Way galaxy likely teeming with Earth-like planets, study suggests
European researchers are raising the possibility that the Milky Way galaxy is teeming with rocky planets that harbor continents and massive oceans like Earth. In a paper published this February in the journal Science Advances, the researchers discussed how rocky planets might have formed from small water-bearing dust particles that could give rise to the formation of oceans and […]

New catalyst material can help spur the rise of lithium-sulfur batteries
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are some of the most promising batteries available today. They are cheaper, lighter and capable of storing much more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which currently power most kinds of electronic devices. But LSBs can only be recharged a few times before degrading. Now, South Korean researchers might have just found the right catalyst […]

Fascinating video shows humpback whales using “bubble-net fishing” to catch their prey
A team led by researchers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH Manoa) has video-recorded humpback whales attempting to catch prey in the water near Alaska. The humpback whales can be seen swimming in a circular pattern while blowing bubbles to create a “net” and encircle their prey. This technique is called bubble-net fishing and is usually done with more […]

Landslides on Mars may be caused by melting underground ice, study suggests
On the surface, Mars seems very quiet. It has no active volcanoes, and the only water it harbors is locked up underground and on the polar caps. But as it turns out, this placid-looking planet hosts landslides called “slumps” from time to time. While scientists have known about these slumps for at least a decade, the mechanisms behind them […]

Proof of alien ships? “Cryptic bursts” of gamma-ray light from distant galaxies have an unexplained and “odd” symmetry
Researchers from the College of Charleston in South Carolina and the Michigan Technological University have observed a strange emission pattern in gamma-ray bursts. In a study published in the Astrophysical Journal, the researchers said that gamma-ray bursts display a series of smaller peaks in brightness that occur before and after one big peak. If the pattern is “folded” over at the main peak and stretched […]
