Ancient rocks provide new clues on how volcanoes caused “biggest mass extinction” ever
Volcanoes could have caused the worst mass extinction on Earth. According to researchers from the University of Cincinnati (UC) and the China University of Geosciences (CUG), the most reliable evidence for this outcome comes from a recent mercury discovery buried in layers of ancient rock. The event, known as the Permian-Triassic (P-T) extinction, took place 252 million years ago and lasted […]

Beneficial pests? Study shows that termites can alleviate the damage that droughts cause in tropical rainforests
Most termites don’t deserve the bad reputation meant for the few species that are actual pests. An international study found that the insects actually help preserve tropical rainforests during periods of drought. Termites thrive in tropical regions with plenty of cellulose-rich plants that they can digest. The “sheeting” structures they construct above ground let them travel through the rainforest in safety even during dry […]

How does a metal light enough to be moved by humans become explosion proof?
German researchers took cues from bones when developing their new open-cell metal foams. Not only are the new materials incredibly light, they also have the strength to withstand the impact of vehicular accidents and even an explosion. The Saarland University team applied their coating process to a lattice substrate of aluminum or polymer foam. The […]

“Heat wave” pulses through graphite as scientists achieve a surprising mechanism of heat transfer
Researchers successfully forced heat to move in a different way than usual. They got it to travel like a wave through a graphite medium at the same speed as sound waves. Unlike light or sound, heat does not propagate through waves. It spreads via diffusion and bounces off excited molecules in all directions. If heat […]

Flashing lights and pink noise could be the key to preventing Alzheimer’s
Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few […]

After a decade, an odd star is back to spitting bright flashes of radio waves at us
Ten years ago, the bright star XTE J1810-197 went dark and silent on the radioscopes without warning. Now, researchers report that the magnetar has recently roused from dormancy and has started behaving differently than it did in the past. A neutron star is the collapsed core of a giant star that went supernova in the distant […]

Crime scenes will be scanned and modeled in 3D to create interactive virtual crime scenes “within minutes”
The 2014 remake of Robocop showed the titular protagonist getting security camera footage of the car bomb that maimed him and turning it into a computer model. An Israeli company developed the real-life version of that technology, allowing police to create 3D models of a crash or crime scene within minutes. Called 3D-Hawk, the tool […]

Does Mars have an active groundwater system? Scientists say YES
Liquid water had long since deserted the surface of Mars, leaving only the faint marks of its passage in the form of dried-out channels, lake-beds, and valleys. But researchers said that the Red Planet might harbor flowing water hundreds of meters underground. Previous studies have indicated that the Martian south pole contained lakes of liquid […]

New camera boasts frame rate of 10 trillion fps, captures light as it travels
If you ever wanted to see what light looks like as it travels through air, you would need the femtosecond streak camera developed by California-based researchers. The fastest optical instrument in the world, it snaps a staggering 10 trillion frames per second. Developed by researchers from the National Institute of Scientific Research (INRS) and the […]

Scientists say that aliens are looking at us like “animals in a zoo”
The Earth serves as the galactic equivalent of a zoo, suggested European researchers at a recent conference on alien life. They believed that aliens have been keeping our planet under observation and quarantine to avoid causing panic among the human population who are not ready to make first contact with extraterrestrial beings. Many studies indicate […]
