It took 10 years to prove: First exoplanet finally confirmed
Researchers confirmed the first exoplanet candidate found by the Kepler space observatory. It took them more than a decade because they got the wrong impression of the planet’s size. The newly confirmed planet is called Kepler-165b. Situated very close to its parent star, it completes one revolution in less than four Earth days. For years, […]

Pest-eating bats are easing financial pressure on farmers and may help regrow rainforests
In the African island of Madagascar, bats leave their tropical rainforest and descend upon the ricefields cultivated by human farmers to devour plant-eating insect pests. Their organic pest control service may help persuade locals to preserve the forests instead of razing them. Every year, humans cut down one percent of Madagascar’s rainforest cover. They cultivate the cleared land to grow rice, […]

From tires to shoes, disposable rubber items may soon be able to self-repair
Rubber items may one day be able to regenerate any damage they incur from everyday wear and tear, plus the occasional accident. California-based researchers developed a self-repairing rubber material that’s compatible with 3D printing methods. Qiming Wang led the University of Southern California (USC) research team. An assistant professor at the USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering, Wang is also […]

Scientists use sound to apparently defy gravity
Scientists have made levitation a reality using a rather unexpected tool – sound. An Anglo-American research team experimented with sound-based levitation and succeeded in suspending small bits of plastic in mid-air. Their results will contribute to the field of soft robotics, which uses similar plastic materials to create flexible robots. The researchers also believed that […]

Puffins are on the rebound: Researchers thought they were declining but they were just hiding from seals
Researchers have laid to rest earlier fears that the population of puffins in the U.K. was going down. They reported that the total number of birds in the Farne Islands actually increased by nine percent – they have merely moved to different areas of the island group. At first, the National Trust grew concerned when […]

Valleys and channels on Mars reveal evidence of ancient groundwater
The deepest parts of the craters that dot the dusty Martian landscape conceal channels and valleys carved out by the passage of liquid water eons ago. European researchers consider them to be signs that Mars possessed a massive groundwater system in its distant past. Furthermore, the European Space Agency (ESA) research team uncovered evidence of […]

Dino-discovery: Small T-Rex ancestor found in Utah
Researchers recently discovered the fossil remnants of an ancestor of the Tyrannosaurus rex. Unlike the star of Jurassic Park, this so-called “harbinger of doom” measures less than a third of the “king of tyrant lizards.” Moros intrepidus lived in Utah 97 million years ago. It only weighed 180 pounds and stood as tall as a […]

South Korean study shows the effectiveness of acupressure in reducing sleep disturbances among middle-aged women
The various chemical changes taking place in the bodies of middle-aged women cause them a lot of psychological stress that may disrupt their sleep. South Korean researchers recommend that these women try out ear acupressure therapy to alleviate stress and to reduce the chances of sleep disturbances. For most modern women who enjoy longer lives, middle age […]

Researchers discover natural treatment for blindness caused by degenerative eye diseases
The colorful hyacinths grown in many gardens contain compounds that could naturally treat degenerative eye diseases. These beneficial substances may one day provide a means of preventing the onset of blindness caused by eye diseases. Several conditions could lead to blindness. For pre-term babies, it is retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). One out of every five premature babies has this disease, and in most cases, […]

New NASA mission could unveil more secrets of the universe
Move over, Hubble – the upcoming Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) offers researchers the best look at the universe. An extensive analysis of the space telescope’s capabilities predicts that it may discover up to 1,400 new exoplanets around other stars. NASA and researchers designed WFIRST to seek out new planets outside the solar system. It will […]
