Your brain automatically preserves important memories and filters out the rest
Memories play a huge part in human experience. New York-based researchers say the brain is capable of immediately identifying the most important occasions and prioritizes those memories for preservation. In a study supported by Columbia University (Columbia), the brain was shown to rewind events that turned out to be highly rewarding for a person. It […]

New artificial “robot nose” could soon replace dogs for sniffing out narcotics and explosives
That well-trained and fluffy K9 dog deployed by your local police or military unit might one day be replaced by an “electronic nose.” What’s more, that scent sensor will use living cells grown and harvested from mice genes – and just the DNA, mind you, no actual animals required. Researchers from Duke University (Duke) acquired the genes of mice that had been […]

Geological curiosity: Mars “blueberries” reveal what ancient Mars may have looked like
The “blueberries” of Mars are not the least bit organic, much less edible. But the small, ferrous spheres strewn across the surface of Mars could tell us about the Red Planet during the time when liquid water flowed across its young face. First discovered by NASA’s Opportunity rover in 2004, the hematite-rich geologic features look like […]

Researchers develop a new type of nano computer chip that uses transistors made from AIR
Transistor technology got a much-needed speed upgrade thanks to Australian researchers. Their experimental nano-sized computer chip doesn’t have any silicon in it. Instead, the space normally occupied by semiconductor material is left open to air. Electrons that go through those air gaps move much faster than they do through silicon. They can reach velocities that are possible only […]

New research examines the potential damage that crude oil exports will inflict on salmon populations in Canada
A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada warns that the country’s plan to expand its crude oil exports is bad news for local populations of commercially important salmon — and that’s not even factoring in the dangers of a floating derrick or an oil tanker suffering a disastrous oil spill. In the research, lead author Sarah Alderman and […]

“Jaw-dropping” method scans hormones, medications, and small molecules in as little as 30 minutes
California-based researchers announced that they found a much faster way to scan the 3D structures of certain small molecules. Their improved approach provides incredibly clear images of objects the size of certain hormones within a few hours or even just 30 minutes. They took an existing technique called micro-electron diffraction (MicroED) and adjusted it to work on molecules […]

Study highlights the vast medicinal properties of the popular spice saffron
A widely used and very popular herbal spice is quietly but effectively protecting your health every time you consume it. Iranian researchers reported that saffron is full of protective phytochemicals that shield your body from disease. Saffron is made from the dried stigma of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus). It improves the color, scent, and taste of […]

Deepwater Horizon oil spill’s effects are still being seen: Atlantic stingrays found to have significantly impaired olfactory functions
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster continues to cast a long shadow across the Atlantic Ocean. Close to a decade after the ecological disaster, a Florida-based study found that crude oil from the spill has crippled the sense of smell of Atlantic stingrays. Marine animals use their senses to find food and mates, as well […]

Engineers are developing a new class of nanofibers that mimic polar bear fur, lotus leaves, and gecko feet
A newly-engineered class of nanofibers will be able to copy the unique properties found in natural materials. Coatings made from these nanomaterials can match the warmth of the white fur of polar bears, repel water like the lotus plant, and stick to surfaces like the sure-footed geckos. The nanofibers are the creation of researchers from the University of […]

New stable photoelectrochemical cell opens the door to more efficient solar cells
New York-based researchers have finally solved the serious instability problems that plague solar cells involved in the production of hydrogen fuel. They encased the cell in a very thin layer of titanium dioxide that allows the passage of light but keeps disruptive effects out. The encapsulation technique physically separates the volatile solar cell from the energetic […]
