Study suggests Europa, Jupiter’s Moon, contains table salt in its oceans just like the oceans on Earth
A study published in the journal Science Advances believes that subterranean oceans lurking underneath the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa may have a similar salt composition to oceans on Earth after the Hubble Space Telescope spotted sodium chloride, or salt, on the surface of the icy moon. Scientists now believe that other similarities may be discovered between the oceans of the two worlds. Four different […]

Manuscripts by astronomer Kepler show that he ‘may have practiced alchemy’
Researchers studying Johannes Kepler’s manuscripts believe they found evidence that suggests that the famous German astronomer may have been a practitioner of alchemy, the protoscientific tradition famous for its obsession with turning “base metals” like lead into “noble metals” like gold and silver. Kepler lived in the late 16th to the early 17th centuries, and is known as an astronomer, astrologer and […]

Clever “Flying-V” plane design is more fuel-efficient than today’s most advanced aircraft
The Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, in partnership with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, is working on an innovative airplane design known as the “Flying-V,” which — its creators claim — uses 20 percent less fuel thanks to its unique, two-pronged configuration. Flaring diagonally backwards from its nose to create the V-shape, the airplane has the same wingspan as existing […]

Researchers search exomoons for signs of extraterrestrial life
A researcher from the University of Lincoln believes that scientists have been looking for extraterrestrial life in the wrong places. The researcher asserts that exomoons — moons that orbit planets outside the solar system (exoplanets) — could hold the key to finding alien life. Of the 4,000 or so exoplanets that have been discovered by scientists thus far, […]

Liquid water on Pluto? Gases trapped in a layer of ice could be what keeps an underground ocean from freezing, report researchers
Scientists believe that a layer of gassy material on Pluto’s surface is stopping an ocean underneath it from freezing over. New models of Pluto’s evolution suggest that this gassy layer is helping to insulate this body of water. If their calculations are correct, this means that these gases, if present in other planets, can potentially harbor life-supporting bodies […]

Resolving traffic problems with smart tech: Could driverless cars speed up traffic?
A team of researchers from the University of Cambridge believe that fleets of driverless cars working together to keep traffic moving can improve traffic flow by at least 35 percent. This comes after a series of experiments involving a small fleet of miniature robot cars driving on a multi-lane track. The researchers observed that when this fleet […]

Say “Cheese,” Fido: Can scientific data prove that dogs “smile” at their owners?
When your dog looks up at you with its mouth open wide and its lips pulled up at the corners, is it really smiling at you? Despite humans having over 30,000 years of history with dogs, the answer is still unclear. But researchers believe they are getting close to finding the answer. A group of neuroscientists from the University of […]
