8 Comments Holy Buckminster Fuller! Is that a dome on the surface of Mars? A photograph taken by the Opportunity Rover shows what appears to be a dome or dome-topped structure on the Martian surface. Is it real? What is it made of? Does this mean Martians have a football team? Photo of dome showing more of the nearby landscape The pictures were taken on Sol 4073 (Martian Day 4073 or 2015-07-10 UTC on Earth) by the Opportunity rover’s panoramic camera (Pancam). The structure is easy to spot as it sits forward on a hill and is the largest raised formation in the area. Its isolation and surface – which appears to be different than the surrounding rocks and soil – makes it ...

What People Really Think of the iPad Pro: It’s too Darn Big! by Daniel Bean Editorial Assistant November 16, 2015 With its recent launch of the giant 12.9-inch iPad Pro, Apple apparently thinks that bigger really is better. But do the masses agree? To find out, we took one of Apple’s monster-tablets out to bustling Times Square to see what people would make of it. To the majority of the people we showed it to, the iPad Pro is indeed big — but it’s too big. Of course, given this new iPad’s powerful hardware and “Pro” name, it clearly wasn’t designed for people who just wanted a tablet for casual “Netflix and chilling.” Still, even if ...

A Yale study is shining new light on the complexity of the canine mind. In more ways than one, man's best friend is trying to communicate with his master. Dogs not only observe human behavior but seem to engage in a moral evaluation of the people nearest them. Yale Researchers have put hundreds of dogs to the test in new cognitive interactive studies that investigate just how the canine's mind's function. Laurie Santos, director of the Yale Canine Cognition Center, says that hundreds of dogs were placed in front of puppet shows that would typically evoke an emotional response. The dogs responded to the puppets' actions in interesting ways that point to their ability to ...

Scientists claim solving mystery of how snakes lost legs

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- Researchers analyzing a 90-million-year-old fossil skull of an extinct reptile from Argentina said Friday they may have solved an evolutionary puzzle about how snakes lost their legs. Their results, published in the U.S. journal Science Advances, showed that snakes lost their limbs when their ancestors evolved to live and hunt in burrows, which many snakes still do today. Some scientists have previously argued that limblessness in snakes was due to an adaptation for swimming in the ocean, although the prevailing hypothesis about snake evolution is that they were ancestrally terrestrial burrowers. In the new study, scientists used CT scans to examine the ...

To the surprise and excitement of researchers, a ninth century Anglo-Saxon treatment for eye infections has been used successfully to kill tenacious bacteria cultures. The ancient remedy consisting of onion, garlic, cow bile and wine might be an effective weapon against modern antibiotic-resistant superbugs such as MRSA. Scientists from the University of Nottingham’s Center for Biomolecular Sciences, UK, and Anglo-Saxon expert Dr. Christina Lee worked together to create the 1,000-year-old remedy found in Bald’s Leechbook, (also known as Medicinale Anglicum) a medical text written in Old English believed to be one of the earliest-known books of medical advice. Middle-English ...
Proof That the Human Body is a Projection of Consciousness

(Does this make any sense at all? Is it mere new age feelgood stuff, kumbayah? NN) In this article we will explore how your body is a holographic projection of your consciousness, and how you directly influence that hologram and thus have complete control over the physical health of your body. We will also specifically explore the exact mechanism behind this principle, and don’t worry, I will provide scientific evidence so let your rational mind be at ease. But first … how is this even possible? Human Thought Determines Reality One of the key principles of quantum physics is that our thoughts determine reality. Early in the 1900’s they proved this beyond a shadow of a ...

ScienceAlert... Next week, international leaders and scientists are meeting in Paris to figure out how to lower the world’s reliance on fossil fuels – but one of the key challenges they’ll face is finding clean and highly efficient energy sources to take their place. One candidate for the job? Green slime. Or, technically, blue-green slime. Scientists in Canada have used blue-green algae to energise a new kind of power cell that harnesses an electrical charge from the photosynthesis and respiration of cyanobacteria, which are the microorganisms that make up blue-green algae. "Both photosynthesis and respiration, which take place in plant cells, involve electron ...

The government sets a new low for wasting money government, money | 9 Comments Too bad they didn’t ask me to do this job because I would only have charged $250,000. I’ll explain in a moment. We all know that our government wastes obscene amounts of money every year, but until we hear exactly which ridiculous programs they’re wasting it on, it doesn’t always sink in. Here’s an example that will either make you laugh or cry, depending on your mood right now. The National Science Foundation, which is funded by taxpayer dollars, just paid $300,000 for a study on how “humans interact with bicycles.” I wish I were making this up, but I’m afraid ...

Previous studies have shown naps have a positive effect on name and face memorization. A full night's sleep helps a person's memory forge the connection between newly learned faces and names. BOSTON, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Participants in a recent study were much better at remembering the names and faces of first-time acquaintances if they were able to get at least eight hours of sleep. The study featured 14 participants, each of whom were asked to memorize the names and faces of 20 people, selected randomly from a database of 600 color portrait photos of adults. Twelve hours later, the participants were shown the same 20 photos, only this time some of the names had been changed. The ...

ScienceAlert... It's all in your head. Or is it? If we told you to think about anything you want - fat dogs, doughnuts, giant Christmas trees - but whatever you do, don't think about a white bear, chances are you're gonna think about a white bear. It doesn't matter how intelligent you are or how much self-control you can exert, our thoughts can be very difficult to restrain. Even thinking about not thinking about a white bear means you're thinking about a white bear. But why is this? Well, to understand that, we first have to understand what a thought actually is. As the Explanimator video above points out, there are two possible definitions of a thought. Either ...

ScienceAlert... For the first time, researchers have grown vocal cord tissue in the lab that can produce sound when transplanted into animals. Importantly, the bioengineered tissue showed no signs of being rejected by animal models, which makes it a good candidate for future transplants to give a voice back to those with vocal cord damage as a result of illness or surgery. "It’s an exciting finding because those patients are the ones we have very few treatment options for," Jennifer Long, a voice doctor at the University of California, Los Angeles, who wasn't involved in the study, told Emily DeMarco over at Science. Our vocal cords are two strong but flexible bands of ...

Scientists turn tastes on and off by activating and silencing clusters of brain cells

Science Daily... New study proves that sense of taste is hardwired in the brain, independent of learning or experience Most people probably think that we perceive the five basic tastes -- sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami (savory) -- with our tongue, which then sends signals to our brain "telling" us what we've tasted. However, scientists have turned this idea on its head, demonstrating in mice the ability to change the way something tastes by manipulating groups of cells in the brain. The findings were published today in the online edition of Nature. "Taste, the way you and I think of it, is ultimately in the brain," said study leader Charles S. Zuker, PhD, ...

LINKöPING, Sweden, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have found a way to install organic electric circuits inside plants, combining a plant's natural signaling networks with manmade electronics. Scientists have been testing the new technology in bionic roses. The roses' vascular systems are implanted with plant-compatible polymer circuits capable of carrying both an analog and digital electronic signal. In one experiment, the researchers slit a rose stem and stuck it in a solution of PEDOT, a conductive polymer. The rose's vascular tissue sucks up the water soluble polymer. Once absorbed, the polymer is deposited from the solution, ...
