Groundbreaking telescopes have now found more than 100 exoplanets in only 3 months
The doughty Kepler Space Telescope might have finally been put to sleep in October 2018, but its successor is picking up the pace. Working alongside ground-based counterparts, the TESS space observatory has spotted more than 100 new extrasolar planets in just three months. Per the report of the multi-national team of researchers who conducted the […]

Scientists discover first synthetic material that THICKENS as it is stretched
After nearly four decades of hard work, researchers have finally been able to come up with an artificial material that does not get thinner when it is forced to stretch. Instead, it is the first synthetic that actually gets thicker thanks to the property of auxetic stretching. Auxetics are materials and structures that do the […]

Your brain automatically preserves important memories and filters out the rest
Memories play a huge part in human experience. New York-based researchers say the brain is capable of immediately identifying the most important occasions and prioritizes those memories for preservation. In a study supported by Columbia University (Columbia), the brain was shown to rewind events that turned out to be highly rewarding for a person. It […]

New artificial “robot nose” could soon replace dogs for sniffing out narcotics and explosives
That well-trained and fluffy K9 dog deployed by your local police or military unit might one day be replaced by an “electronic nose.” What’s more, that scent sensor will use living cells grown and harvested from mice genes – and just the DNA, mind you, no actual animals required. Researchers from Duke University (Duke) acquired the genes of mice that had been […]

Have researchers found a new way to clean contaminated water through an electrochemical process?
The Swedes will soon have a way to purify their water supplies of mercury contaminants. Their new electrochemical water treatment method can remove almost all traces of the heavy metal. Heavy metals are some of the most common, deadly, and persistent pollutants found in water. Mercury, in particular, is considered to be extremely dangerous by the World Health Organization (WHO), […]

Newly-found star system in our galaxy could produce a gamma ray burst, one of the brightest events in the universe
We now have proof that there is a star system within the Milky Way galaxy that can give off a gamma ray burst when it finally dies in a couple of hundred thousand years or so — even if we will not be around to witness it finally going off like the massive nuclear firecracker it is. These […]

Has the second “alien megastructure” been found?
A recently discovered star is flickering intermittently, almost as if its light is being blocked off by something big – or many somethings – in orbit around it. Some researchers are theorizing that it could be another instance of a star surrounded by an alien megastructure. Discovered during the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea […]

MIT’s cyborg houseplant robot blurs the line between robotics and nature
Roboticists seem to think humans are no longer capable of effectively caring for ordinary houseplants. So MIT researchers went ahead and built an autonomous indoor plant-caring robot that more or less takes care of the plant without any need for human intervention. The Elowan robot is one of the many ongoing projects that uses artificial intelligence, […]

SCARY: Researchers develop a “universal fingerprint” that can fool most sensors
Once upon a time, your fingerprints were considered to be one of the most secure ways of proving your identity. Nowadays, fingerprints are one of the very first things to get faked, as American researchers recently demonstrated with their new “universal fingerprint” that tricks fingerprint sensors on smartphones. The DeepMasterPrint was shown to spoof the most common fingerprint […]

Freezing pollution before it enters homes removes 99 percent of fumes, scientists say
British and Chinese researchers have come up with a cool idea to practically eliminate the amount of toxic fumes that we breathe in every day. They want to freeze air drawn from outdoors so that the polluting particles can be separated from the breathable gas. Only when the air is absolutely clean will it be […]
