New robotic fingers inspired by the gecko now being developed
Anyone who’s seen a gecko knows how sticky their toes are. The newest robotic gripper devised by California-based researchers takes a cue from those clingy lizards. The soft robot can grasp a much wider variety of objects, including some that were too slippery for previous robot hands, according to a NewsWise article. Geckos can climb […]

Unique study concludes that migratory birds move away from diseases to raise their young
Swedish researchers have found that European migratory songbirds leave their warm but disease-laden homes in the tropics to raise their vulnerable young in the healthier environs of Europe. This way, according to an article on ScienceDaily, their species could make do with less robust but also less costly immune systems. The University of Lund researchers came across this discovery […]

NASA releases new video of Jupiter’s monster polar storms
The Great Red Spot isn’t the only super storm on Jupiter. The gas giant’s north and south poles host colossal cyclones that dwarf the biggest ones ever seen on Earth. As seen in a new video released by NASA, these swirling storms dominate the polar regions of the planet, according to an article on Science.com. The material […]

Sunlight reflected from pavement injures plants, stunting their growth
On a really hot day, you can feel the heat rising from the pavement. And if it’s painful for you, it’s even more hurtful for plants that can’t move to shadier places. According to an article in the International Journal of Urban Forestry, pavements can re-radiate so much heat from reflected sunlight that nearby plants can […]

Scientists use Einstein’s theory of relativity to generate random numbers that can never be hacked
Hackers are now finding it easy to crack encryption systems that rely on random number generators, according to a LiveScience article. In response, Colorado-based mathematicians combined quantum mechanics with Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity to create absolutely arbitrary numbers that cannot be predicted or hacked. Random numbers are the backbone of encryption systems. Computers use them […]

More evidence emerges that cell phones trigger abnormal cell growth and cancer
Cell phones have been classified as a possible carcinogen since 2011. Since then, numerous studies have confirmed that the electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation emitted by cell phones can indeed cause anomalous cell growth and cancer, according to a Waking Times article. In March 2018, the Ramazzini Institute published the results of a long-term animal study […]

The “information speed limit” just got doubled by quantum physicists
Quantum physicists have once more managed to bend the laws of nature. They found out how to send twice the amount of information using a single particle, effectively doubling the so-called bandwidth of the universe even though the speed of the message hasn’t increased, according to an article on Space.com. We can only transfer so […]

The connection between humans and salt
Salt occupies an important – hallowed, even – place in human culture, history, health, and diet, according to an article in GreenMedInfo.com. In fact, cardiovascular researcher Dr. James DiNicolantonio argues that we need to increase the amount of salt in our diet. In his recent book, Dr. DiNicolantonio claims humans evolved eating a diet with […]

Genetic data shed light on how soil microbes survive nutrient-deficient environments
For the longest time, researchers have puzzled over the process that allows microbes to grow within the phosphorus-poor soil found in tropical rainforests. A recent study of their genetic data revealed that these microbes possess a higher amount of genes that specialize in getting the vital mineral, according to a NewsWise article. Tropical soils are […]
