Researchers develop new coating for textile fibers that can protect against toxic industrial chemicals
Industrial workers and soldiers alike are often exposed to deadly chemicals in the workplace. Now, they might breathe in relief thanks to a new metal-organic framework. When applied to the fibers of various textiles, the coating will catch and trap deadly chemicals, keeping the toxic substances from ever reaching the wearer. The metal-organic framework promises […]

Advanced communication? Spider monkeys adjust their “whinnies” to regain contact with their group
At least one species of monkey seems to understand that low-frequency sounds travel much further than high-pitched ones. Whenever a Geoffroy’s spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi) gets separated from its group, the animal deliberately reduces the pitch of its calls. By lowering the frequency of its voice, the isolated monkey makes itself heard over greater distances. […]

Mars not only had rivers bigger than those on Earth; they flowed more recently than previously believed
Mars might be a dry world now, but researchers recently described a different landscape more than a billion years ago. Back then, the Red Planet produced mighty waterways that dwarfed the Amazon River, the broadest body of water on Earth today. Furthermore, the ancient Martian rivers might have lasted much longer than expected. There might […]

Wigner’s friend is about to get REAL: Experiment hints at potential of “multiple realities”
If he were alive today, the famous researcher Eugene Wigner would probably be delighted to know that his “friend in another reality” turned out to be real. A recently published Austrian study proved the possibility of his theory by showing that two realities might exist simultaneously on the quantum level. Supported by the University of […]

Cosmic superbubbles discovered in nearby galaxy act like particle accelerators
Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, its central supermassive black hole produced a pair of tremendous cavities filled with gas and charged particles. The X-rays from those “superbubbles” eventually registered on the sensors of a NASA-run spacecraft and ground-based observatory. The Chandra X-ray space observatory and its ground-based counterpart, the Karl G. Jansky […]

Fascinating spy plane photos from the 1950s and 60s reveal hidden archaeological spots in Aleppo, Jordan and Nimrud
The still-raging Syrian Civil War wrecked much of the ancient city of Aleppo. However, it lives on in declassified photographs taken by American spy planes during the early decades of the Cold War. The CIA recently released black-and-white images taken by a U-2 recon aircraft that flew over Middle Eastern countries during the 1950s and 1960s. In […]

Can life find a way? Tiny planet around a white dwarf may hold clues to understanding habitable worlds in the universe
The star called SDSS J122859.93+104032.9 died long ago, and its death spasms devoured the planets that circled it. But U.K. researchers recently found a surviving planetesimal zipping through the diminishing debris disk around the white dwarf star. A fragment that broke off its original exoplanet during the latter’s destruction, the planetesimal showed high levels of […]

Hiding in plain sight: Peacocks’ brightly colored feathers could be camouflage that hides them from predators, suggests study
The words “peacock” and “camouflage” are generally considered opposites. But Pennsylvania-based researchers now argue that the vivid colors of the flightless bird conceal it from predatory mammals. To the human eye, the tail feathers of the male peacock stand out like a visual sore thumb. However, it so happens that the retina of the human […]

Oxygen loss in ancient oceans led to mass extinctions – will history repeat itself?
The ongoing drop in ocean oxygen levels is not a new thing. Researchers warn that a similar loss of life-giving gas in the ancient oceans may have triggered a mass extinction in marine life more than 430 million years ago. The Ireviken extinction event took place during the Silurian Period of Earth. It killed off […]

Biodegradable “transparent” timber works just as well as glass in windows
Swedish researchers fiddled with wood until they managed to turn it technically transparent. They also made the biodegradable material capable of absorbing heat from sunlight and releasing it during colder periods. If used in the windows of buildings, the revolutionary material might help save energy by reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling. It […]
