Researchers develop a procedure that can extract diesel fuel from water and soil
With the ever-increasing number of vehicles on the road, concern surrounding the risk of contaminating the environment with diesel fuel — and other petroleum-based products — is also rising. Diesel fuel is an extremely noxious pollutant: when spilled on water, it stays mainly on the surface, which ends up decreasing the water’s oxygen concentration, resulting […]

Astronomers discover and decode strange signals from a 3-body star system
Did you know that there has been an object in the Milky Way 500 light-years away that “blinks” at us daily? Now, astronomers have figured out the reason for this unusual signal. Called NGTS-7, this celestial object is part of binary system NGTS-7ABM, and appears to most telescopes as a single star. In 2019 however, […]

Scientists dig up perfectly preserved 42,000-year-old horse – with blood and internal organs intact
Is the world ready to enter the gates of a real-life Jurassic – or in this case, Cenozoic – Park? An international team of scientists seems to think so. The idea stems from an announcement made by scientists working deep in the frozen Siberian tundra concerning the successful extraction of liquid blood from the frozen carcass of […]

Seashell-inspired shatterproof glass: Researchers engineer strong composite glass based on mother of pearl that can resist impact
Despite their delicate appearance, seashells are surprisingly durable. This unexpected durability comes from the tough, impact-resistant substance known as nacre, also known as mother of pearl. Nacre is an organic-inorganic composite material that also gives seashells their signature iridescence. It is made up of microscopic calcium carbonate tablets mortared together by proteins. Arranged like bricks, […]

Cat experts say: Your cat is familiar with its own name
Looks like T.S. Eliot and Andrew Lloyd Webber got it right. If you’ve ever seen the stage musical CATS, an integral scene at the beginning of the show lays out an important fact: Cats can recognize their names. As it turns out, there is truth to that. In a recent study, researchers from Sophia University […]

Engineers develop robot gripping arm that “tastes” using bacteria
Much like how octopuses and squids use their tentacles, a new biohybrid robot developed by a joint team of researchers uses its fingers to “taste” the world around it. Created by a team of researchers from the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), the biohybrid robot uses a bioengineered strain […]

A quake in 1959 sent “time traveling” aftershocks that were felt 60 years later
Sixty years after it left a trail of death and destruction, a powerful earthquake is still making its presence felt, according to a new study. In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, researchers from the University of Utah determined that the small earthquakes that rocked Maple Creek, just outside of Yellowstone volcano […]

No pain, no gain: Research suggests naked mole rat gene holds the secret to pain tolerance
Perhaps due to its lackluster appearance – wrinkly, with a body reminiscent of a pale, leathery sausage – the naked mole rat is the last animal you’d think to possess abilities akin to superpowers. But they do. Known for its long lifespan, relative immunity to most cancers, ability to survive more than 18 minutes without […]

Carnivorous pitcher plants have an occasional taste for vertebrates, study finds
While the northern pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) is well-known for consuming insects and other invertebrates as supplementary food, a recent study published in the journal Ecology points out that about one in five pitcher plants in Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park has upgraded its menu to include juvenile salamanders. While Asiatic pitcher plants such as the Philippines’ Nepenthes attenboroughii are […]

A glimpse of the past: Photographer “reanimates” dinosaur skeletons through photographs
They may have died out 66 million years ago, but thanks to a photographer’s new series, dinosaurs such as the fearsome predator Tyrannosaurus rex and the imposing behemoth Triceratops are coming back to life. “I sought to really bring these animals to life,” Christian Voigt said about his project, which he has dubbed “Evolution.” According to Voigt, the project all […]
