This is because, for the first time, neuroscientists were able to construct 3D facial models using information stored in an individual’s brain when recalling faces of familiar people. The study, published in the Nature Human Behaviour journal, came about as a […]

Large reservoirs of “fire ice” beneath the ocean can potentially trigger devastating disasters if released
Locked deep beneath our oceans, according to scientists, are deposits of frozen methane. Dubbed “fire ice,” these deposits, once released, can trigger large-scale natural catastrophes such as tsunamis and landslides – and scientists and experts currently have no idea how much of these fire ice deposits exist. According to Ann Cook, an associate professor in […]

Researchers “shed light” on plants’ circadian clocks: Findings could be used to improve future crops
Every person has a circadian clock, an invisible internal mechanism synchronized with solar time. This “clock,” according to the National Sleep Foundation, drives a person’s circadian rhythm, which regulates daily sleep-wake cycles. As it turns out, even plants have one, too. First discovered in 1729 by French geophysicist and chronobiologist Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan after […]

Worst extinction since the dinosaurs: Total biomass of flying insects down by a staggering 76%, warn German researchers
We are in the middle of an extinction phase. The animals in danger of extermination? Flying insects. This is according to entomology enthusiast Martin Sorg, president of the Amateur Entomology Society of Krefeld, who, over the last 37 years, collected 80 million insects from the German countryside. And while the Society’s collection is considered a […]
