Sleep and memories: Study shows sound cues can help participants solve puzzles while they’re ASLEEP
Researchers from Northwestern University have found a fascinating way to activate problem-solving during sleep. In a study published in the journal Psychological Science, the researchers explained how they used sound cues to stimulate information processing in sleeping participants. When the volunteers woke up the next day, they were able to work out the brainteasers they failed to solve the previous night. “This study provides […]

Study: Mars was once habitable; atmosphere likely formed through the same process as Earth’s
A tantalizing new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy suggests that Mars might have been habitable before. Researchers from Hong Kong and China found that the Martian atmosphere might have evolved in the same way the Earth’s atmosphere did – it was once filled with toxic gases that warmed the planet, then a great oxidation event that […]

Proof of alien ships? “Cryptic bursts” of gamma-ray light from distant galaxies have an unexplained and “odd” symmetry
Researchers from the College of Charleston in South Carolina and the Michigan Technological University have observed a strange emission pattern in gamma-ray bursts. In a study published in the Astrophysical Journal, the researchers said that gamma-ray bursts display a series of smaller peaks in brightness that occur before and after one big peak. If the pattern is “folded” over at the main peak and stretched […]

Water vapor detected on Mars can help answer whether the Red Planet was once habitable
An international team of researchers has detected water vapor rising from Mars, offering new clues as to whether the Red Planet was once home to aliens. The researchers made the discovery using an instrument called the Nadir and Occultation for Mars Discovery (NOMAD), which is aboard the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter jointly operated by the European Space […]

Diamonds need small electric fields to crystallize, according to study
A new study published in the journal Science Advances shows that high heat and pressures are not enough to produce diamonds – these majestic crystals may also need small electric fields to crystallize. As part of their study, German and Russian researchers mimicked conditions in the mantle, the layer beneath Earth’s crust where most diamonds are thought to form. By doing […]

Chinese scientists produce artificial rain using potentially harmful low-frequency sound waves
Chinese researchers found an effective weather modification method to bring greater levels of rainfall. The method works by firing low-frequency sound waves at clouds to vibrate water droplets and increase the likelihood of them merging into larger droplets. In a paper published in the journal Science China Technological Sciences, the researchers reported that the method can increase the amount of rainfall […]

Ancient art: Scientists discover 143 new Nazca line drawings previously hidden in Peru
Japanese archaeologists have discovered 143 new Nazca line drawings in Peru, including one found using artificial intelligence (AI). The land drawings depict humans, humanoids, animals and other beings and are believed to date back to at least A.D. 100 to B.C. 300. The researchers spent years studying Pampa de Nazca, a 200-square-mile desert plain near the foothills of the […]

Fascinating flyers: Scientists reveal how butterflies escape predators
For their size, butterflies have a big pair of wings. They fly with wings that can weigh them down and allow predators to catch up on them. But as it turns out, butterflies have a unique takeoff style that makes them quicker. In a study published in the Journal of the Royal Surface Interface, researchers from Lund University in Sweden found […]

Scientists produce methane-based rocket fuel using resources found on Mars
Scientists at the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) have figured out how to produce rocket fuel using only portable materials and resources that can be sourced from Mars. The scientists developed a one-step process that requires only zinc, a mineral found on the red planet, and a small easy-to-carry device to catalyze carbon dioxide and produce methane-based fuel. This method […]

Signs of alien civilization: Did astronomers detect “technosignatures?”
Breakthrough Listen, the most extensive search yet for extraterrestrial intelligence, made the headlines recently after project researchers discovered a mysterious radio signal coming from Proxima Centauri, the nearest known star to the sun. Though the researchers are not done with their study, there has been speculation that the signal is a “technosignature” produced by an alien civilization. Proxima Centauri […]
