If you’re hoping to better understand people, their facial expressions may not be as reliable of an indicator of someone’s emotional state, according to new study by researchers at Ohio State University and other organizations.
A University of California Berkeley scientist says we’re more likely to find evidence of intelligent extraterrestrials before bacteria in the soil on Mars or other planets.
According to José Ferreira and Leonardo Kerber, researchers at the Federal University of Santa Maria in Brazil, there was once a giant rodent in South America that was the size of a Saint Bernard dog, but with a brain no bigger than a golf ball. Paleontology World says that the rodent the team discovered is the largest ever to have lived in South America.
There are thousands of space satellites floating in the skies, but only a fraction of them are still operational. The media has reported on the damage these satellites have done to astronomy, but with so many companies launching even more satellites to provide 5G coverage, there’s something people need to think about: What happens when space junk collides with other space junk?
A powerful new antibiotic compound developed by MIT scientists destroyed many of the world’s disease-causing bacteria, including strains that have become resistant to antibiotics in common use. The computer model used to identify the compound, halicin, can also be used to identify other antibiotic candidates; it can screen more than a hundred million chemical compounds in a matter of days, MIT News reported in an article announcing the findings.
If you’ve ever wondered what your organs look like from the inside, researchers have figured out a way to see that. Researchers in Germany have found a way to see the inside of human organs without slicing the tissue to create their three dimensional models. That method is known as 3DISCO, or 3D Imaging of Solvent-Cleared Organs.
A computational biologist and science illustrator has painted a coronavirus, and recently revealed his creation, which shows the coronavirus as it entered the lungs.
The extinction of Wrangel Island mammoths was likely caused by genetic mutations that these animals lived with. A new study published in “Genome Biology and Evolution“ cited several reasons for the decline of the mammoths that lived on Russia’s Wrangel Island, including “reduced genetic diversity,” which led to mutated genes.
