| New formation theory explains the mysterious interstellar object 'Oumuamua Posted: 13 Apr 2020 01:56 PM PDT Since its discovery in 2017, an air of mystery has surrounded the first known interstellar object to visit our solar system, an elongated, cigar-shaped body named 'Oumuamua. How was it formed, and where did it come from? A new study offers a first comprehensive answer to these questions. |
| Posted: 13 Apr 2020 12:49 PM PDT Reproduction is still one of the greatest mysteries in nature. Pregnancies are usually carried out by the female sex. Only in pipefishes and seahorses males are the pregnant sex. An international team of scientists has deciphered the complex modifications of their immune system that enabled male pregnancy. |
| Scientists discover supernova that outshines all others Posted: 13 Apr 2020 10:28 AM PDT A supernova at least twice as bright and energetic, and likely much more massive than any yet recorded has been identified by an international team of astronomers. |
| Carbon nanostructure created that is stronger than diamonds Posted: 13 Apr 2020 09:00 AM PDT Researchers have closed-cell plate-nanolattices that are stronger than diamonds in terms of a ratio of strength to density. The performance of this arrangement had been theorized but never experimentally validated until now. |
| New species discovered during exploration of abyssal deep sea canyons off Ningaloo Posted: 12 Apr 2020 10:19 AM PDT Unique fauna of the Cape Range and Cloates Canyons off of Ningaloo have been documented at unexplored depths. Seemingly the longest animal ever recorded, glass sponges, and octopus squid are among species seen for the first time in Western Australia. |
| Flaw in Rubber Hand Illusion raise tsough questions for psychology Posted: 10 Apr 2020 01:24 PM PDT A world-famous psychological experiment used to help explain the brain's understanding of the body, as well as scores of clinical disorders, has been dismissed as not fit-for-purpose in a new article. |
| Technique offers path for biomanufacturing medicines during space flights Posted: 10 Apr 2020 01:24 PM PDT Research published today in Nature Microgravity used an Earth-bound simulator of the space station instrument to grow E. coli, demonstrating that it can be nurtured with methods that promise to be more suitable for space travel than existing alternatives. |
| World's most complex microparticle: A synthetic that outdoes nature's intricacy Posted: 09 Apr 2020 02:09 PM PDT Synthetic microparticles more intricate than some of the most complicated ones found in nature have now been produced. Researchers also investigated how that intricacy arises and devised a way to measure it. |
| Protecting thin, flexible brain interfaces from the human body Posted: 08 Apr 2020 11:27 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated the ability to implant an ultrathin, flexible neural interface with thousands of electrodes into the brain with a projected lifetime of more than six years. Protected from the ravaging environment of internal biological processes by less than a micrometer of material, the achievement is an important step toward creating high-resolution neural interfaces that can persist within a human body for an entire lifetime. |
| Pollen-based 'paper' holds promise for new generation of natural components Posted: 06 Apr 2020 04:05 PM PDT Scientists have created a paper-like material derived from pollen that bends and curls in response to changing levels of environmental humidity. The ability of this paper made from pollen to alter its mechanical characteristics in response to external stimuli may make it useful in a wide range of applications, from artificial muscles to sensors. Combined with digital printing, it may hold promise for the fabrication of a new generation of programmable natural actuators. |
