TEHRAN (FNA)- New findings challenge the long-standing idea that multi-celled animals evolved from a single-celled ancestor resembling a modern sponge cell known as a choanocyte. Scientists at The University of Queensland have upended biologists' century-old understanding of the evolutionary history of animals. Using new technology to investigate how multi-celled animals developed, their findings revealed a surprising truth. Professor Bernie Degnan said the results contradicted years of tradition. "We've found that the first multicellular animals probably weren't like the modern-day sponge cells, but were more like a collection of convertible cells," Professor ...

‘Sexbots are coming’: Scientists say ‘digisexuals’ inevitable as more people bond with robots Published time: 26 Nov, 2017 21:55 Edited time: 27 Nov, 2017 07:10 © Anthony Wallace © AFP Academics are arguing that many people will soon be identifying as “digisexuals” and taking their sexual identity from having sex with robots. While sex robots are currently quite primitive, a new report published in the Journal of Sexual and Relationship Therapy argues that before long they will be able to look, speak and act like real people - and will be specifically designed to fulfill a person’s desires. The report’s authors, Neil McArthur and Markie ...

Wild bees are building their homes from plastic—and scientists aren’t sure why Sarah Gibbens 2 hrs ago © Photograph by Joel Sartore, National Geographic Photo Ark Portrait of a leaf cutter bee, the species believed to be using plastic for construction material in Argentina. Wild bees, nesting in Argentinian crop fields, were recently found constructing nests entirely made of the flimsy plastic packaging material left on farms. From 2017 to 2018, researchers at Argentina's National Agricultural Technology Institute crafted wooden, artificial nests for wild bees. Unlike bee species that have a large hive with queens and workers, wild bees burrow into nests to ...

Trump Slams NASA: Focus on Mars, Not Moon (AP) By Jason Devaney | Friday, 07 June 2019 02:52 PM Hours after NASA announced it will allow private companies and astronauts to use the International Space Station as the agency continues to focus on returning Americans to the moon in the coming years, President Donald Trump blasted the agency in a strongly worded tweet. Trump appeared frustrated that NASA said it is turning its attention to the moon and not Mars. "For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Scientists offer a solution to the fast-approaching physical minimum for transistor size: a multi-value logic transistor based on zinc oxide, capable of two stable intermediate states between 0 and 1. Computers and similar electronic devices have gotten faster and smaller over the decades as computer-chip makers have learned how to shrink individual transistors, the tiny electrical switches that convey digital information. Scientists' pursuit of the smallest possible transistor has allowed more of them to be packed onto each chip. But that race to the bottom is almost over: Researchers are fast approaching the physical minimum for transistor size, with recent models ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- New research shows memories are pliable if you know which regions of the brain's hippocampus to stimulate -- a finding that could someday enable personalized treatment for people with PTSD, depression and anxiety. What if scientists could manipulate your brain so that a traumatic memory lost its emotional power over your psyche? Steve Ramirez, a Boston University neuroscientist fascinated by memory, believes that a small structure in the brain could hold the keys to future therapeutic techniques for treating depression, anxiety, and PTSD, someday allowing clinicians to enhance positive memories or suppress negative ones. Inside our brains, a cashew-shaped structure ...

This is a domain name service that uses blockchain technology to resolve domain names. This means that there is no central authority that can be tapped to seize or shut down domain names, as is commonly the case when some government doesn't like what web sites are saying. I predicted this type of service would arise eventually. Get a domain name from Unstoppable Domains, and your web site stays up permanently. Or so the theory goes. It is brand new. ---- About Unstoppable Domains Unstoppable Domains is building Domains on blockchains.

Reflect On: Does consciousness exist outside of the body? Is biology necessary for for consciousness to thrive? What happens when we ‘die?’ We can’t quite answer that question, but we can perhaps say that something indeed does happen. The evidence for reincarnation, for example, is quite unbelievable. There have been a number of cases of children who clearly remember their past lives, describing in detail their previous family members as well as how they died and ...

That's the takeaway from a survey of plastic pollution on the beaches of Australia's Cocos Islands, made up of two coral atolls. An estimated 414 million pieces of debris are now littering the remote islands, and the vast majority of that waste is buried below the surface, ...

Many Democrats and die hard climate change fanatics would have man-made global warming deniers locked up. And if they cannot do that then at least we should have a revolution. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders rallied support for the Green New Deal, with the New York congresswoman saying there should be “no middle ground” when it comes to climate change and the Vermont senator calling for a political revolution. And yes, Cortez is still saying that the world is going to end in 12 years if we do not address climate change (man-made global warming.) The BBC loves Cortez’s ideas and publishes titles like ‘Final call to save the world from ‘climate ...
