Scientist tests “shark-proof” wet suit by trying to get bitten on purpose
For most of us, a trip to the beach would normally involve lounging around on the sand and wading in the cool waters. For marine biologist Jeremiah Sullivan, a trip to the beach involves something far more extreme: thrusting his arm inside a shark’s gaping, teeth-lined mouth. Sullivan rose to prominence in the 1970s after […]

Research studies near-death experiences: Almost 300 participants report psychological, spiritual experiences
One in 10 people have reported a near-death experience, or NDE, new research says. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) and other European institutions, pooled responses from over 1,000 study participants across 35 countries and found 289 people who reported some kind of psychological or spiritual experience. Of the 289, 106 […]

Scientists use cheap plastic lenses to make solar-powered desalination systems more effective
As it turns out, the addition of cheap, plastic lenses can effectively boost the efficiency of solar-powered water desalination systems. This is according to researchers from Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP), who found that by concentrating sunlight into “hotspots” using lenses, they could boost the efficiency of solar-powered membrane distillation desalination systems by more […]

Dead Sea secrets revealed: Scientists explain why salt crystals pile up in the Dead Sea
For a couple of decades now, scientists and researchers have noticed a peculiar phenomenon occurring in the depths of the Dead Sea: salt snow. Scientists first noticed it in 1979 – they observed salt crystals forming on the surface of the famed lake, before “snowing” down and piling up on the lake bed. The deposits […]

Construction site turned dinosaur dig: Workers unearth 68-million-year-old Triceratops fossil
What started out as a simple construction job turned into a mission to find, document and retrieve the remains of a prehistoric giant. Builders tasked with excavating a site near a retirement community in Denver, Colorado, stumbled upon a partial skeleton, which was later identified by paleontologists as that of a large adult Triceratops. According […]

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 […]

Researchers develop a nano-scale hydrogel that can help address rheumatoid arthritis
As they say, too much of a good thing can be bad. Case in point? The body’s natural nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role by helping prevent high blood pressure and plaque build-up in the arteries. However, when endogenous NO is overproduced by the body — as is the case in some physiological […]

Life on the ice: Extraterrestrial life on ice worlds could look like Hawaiian underwater creatures
Those looking for signs of life outside our planet should take a look first at what’s living deep beneath the ocean’s surface, according to astrobiologists. In a talk presented at the Astrobiology Science Conference, post-doctoral investigator Amy Smith said the Lo’ihi seamount, located just off the southeastern coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, can mimic the […]
