| Methane in plumes of Saturn's moon Enceladus: Possible signs of life? Posted: 06 Jul 2021 03:09 PM PDT A study concludes that known geochemical processes can't explain the levels of methane measured by the Cassini spacecraft on Saturn's icy moon. While the paper by no means suggests that life exists on Enceladus, the results would be consistent with microbial activity similar to that known to occur at hydrothermal vents in Earth's oceans. |
| Posted: 06 Jul 2021 10:31 AM PDT Researchers have developed an innovative material that is eco-friendly, completely biological and non-toxic, and causes no harm to the body's tissues. The material is as strong as titanium and extremely flexible. The new development will allow for the charging of pacemakers using only the heartbeat, eliminating the need for batteries. The new material will make it possible to produce green energy activated by mechanical force that can be applied to other areas as well. |
| Kepler telescope glimpses population of free-floating planets Posted: 06 Jul 2021 08:54 AM PDT Tantalizing evidence has been uncovered for a mysterious population of 'free-floating' planets, planets that may be alone in deep space, unbound to any host star. The results include four new discoveries that are consistent with planets of similar masses to Earth. |
| Sculpted by starlight: A meteorite witness to the solar system's birth Posted: 06 Jul 2021 08:54 AM PDT Scientists knew a burst of UV light left its mark on our solar system. Now they know the source of that light. |
| Neanderthal artists? Bones decorated over 50,000 years ago Posted: 06 Jul 2021 08:53 AM PDT Since the discovery of the first fossil remains, the image of the Neanderthal has been one of a primitive hominin. People have known for a long time that Neanderthals were able to fashion tools and weapons. But could they also make jewellery or even art? Researchers analyzed a new find from the Unicorn Cave in the Harz Mountains in Germany and conclude that Neanderthals had remarkable cognitive abilities. |
| Sharp size reduction in dinosaurs that changed diet to termites Posted: 06 Jul 2021 08:53 AM PDT Dinosaurs were generally huge, but a new study of the unusual alvarezsaurs show that they reduced in size about 100 million years ago when they became specialized ant-eaters. |
| Memory making involves extensive DNA breaking Posted: 06 Jul 2021 08:53 AM PDT To quickly express genes needed for learning and memory, brain cells snap both strands of DNA in many more places and cell types than previously realized. |
