Crystal gems found in extreme igneous rocks could form within hours, study suggests
Researchers from Rice University in Texas and the University of California, Riverside have found that gems can grow within hours inside extreme igneous rocks called pegmatites, instead of the thousands of years they usually take to form. In a study published in the journal Nature, the researchers described how they examined sample crystals from a pegmatite mine in Southern California. Using […]

Theory of mind: Fascinating study suggests great apes can understand each others’ mental states, just like humans
A recent study published in the journal PNAS suggests that apes can understand each other’s mental states, such as desires, beliefs and false beliefs about reality. This ability, called the theory of mind, was once thought to be unique to humans. It’s described as a cognitive skill that allowed a person to decipher what others think or feel based on […]

Scientists discover protein that allows soil bacteria to generate electricity in microbial fuel cells
Bacterial cells are only about one-tenth the size of human cells. Despite being considerably smaller, bacteria have more complex respiratory mechanisms than humans. And while higher animals produce carbon dioxide when they breathe, some bacteria can generate an electric current when they “exhale.” In a new study published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, researchers from Yale […]

Klebsiella pneumonia: The bad gut bacteria that makes you drunk even without alcohol
It turns out, you don’t need alcohol to get drunk, says a recent study published in the journal Cell Metabolism. Scientists have identified a certain strain of gut bacteria that produces enormous amounts of alcohol. Those who have the strain in the gut aren’t just more likely to get drunk even without tasting a drop of alcohol; […]

Stunning NASA discoveries suggest Ceres is an ocean world percolating with briny waters from its interior
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has unveiled what it discovered about Ceres in a recent mission, shedding new light on the evolution of the dwarf planet and opening new curiosities. In 2016, NASA’s Dawn spacecraft went into an extended mission to probe Ceres, the biggest object in the asteroid belt and the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system. […]

Heavy metal rain: Colossal “kilonova” explosions may be showering a nearby galaxy in gold and platinum
It’s not uncommon for cosmic objects such as stars to crash into each other. Such mergers generate massive explosions and send gravitational waves rippling through the cosmos. Mergers involving neutron stars are particularly strong. They result in a massive, turbocharged explosion called a kilonova that can be observed in nearly all space telescopes on Earth. An international […]

New theory suggests that exploding magnetars bombarded Earth with gamma ray flares
A recent probe into three weird batches of gamma-ray bursts suggests that magnetars fissured due to magnetic field instabilities, releasing intense gamma rays that bombarded Earth’s atmosphere. These bursts occurred on three separate occasions in the last 40 years. They lasted only about one-tenth of a second and posed no threat to the planet. But their premium intensity is […]

Researchers develop new thermoelectric device that uses nighttime temperature to generate electricity
A recent study has developed a novel device that harnesses temperature differences at night to generate electricity. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and Stanford University teamed up to make an electricity generator that works during the cold, dark night. They came up with a thermoelectric device that was able to power an LED, operating without […]

Baby pterodactyls could fly from BIRTH, reveals fascinating study
Two researchers from England have found that baby pterodactyls, or flaplings, could fly from birth. Their discovery, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, contradicts the long-standing belief that pterodactyls only took to the air when fully grown. Earlier research on fossilized pterodactyl embryos with poorly developed wings gave rise to the idea […]

Study: “Building blocks” of Earth may have brought water to the planet, not comets or asteroids
A recent study suggests that most of Earth’s water did not come from comets or asteroids that crashed on baby Earth. Instead, water was already present since the planet formed. An international team of researchers looked at rare earth rocks that are thought to be the building blocks of Earth. They found that these rocks, […]
