In 2017, scientists discovered a new species of giant rat that can reportedly crack open coconuts. Now, this extremely rare creature has been captured in the wild on camera for the first time.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Animal science, Anima… Continue reading Scientists capture first-ever photos of giant coconut-cracking rats
Cybersecurity is a growing concern as more and more critical infrastructure can be exposed to hacks through the internet. Now, Australian engineers have developed and demonstrated a new technique called “ineffable cryptography,” which treats keys like … Continue reading New cybersecurity tech treats keys like the Colonel’s secret recipe
Managing diabetes usually involves regular shots of insulin or other drugs, but soon patients might only need to inject themselves a few times a year. Stanford has developed a hydrogel-based delivery system that slowly releases drugs over months to con… Continue reading Slow-release diabetes drugs could cut shots from daily to 3 times a year
Australian scientists have created the world’s smallest moustache, tiny enough to be modeled by a single red blood cell. Measuring just 5 microns wide, the micro-mo was designed to raise awareness for men’s health.

The James Webb Space Telescope has made the first direct analysis of clouds on a nearby alien world. These aren’t just made of water vapor but also sand, which would move around the planet much like Earth’s water cycle.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, … Continue reading Sand forms clouds and rain on nearby alien planet, says Webb
Gigantic waves can seemingly come out of nowhere, threatening ships and oil rigs. Now, an AI system trained on centuries of data has been able to predict when these rogue waves will occur, revealing new insights into how they form.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading AI predicts when and where “monster” rogue waves will swell up
Concrete may seem strong and permanent, but it can be surprisingly vulnerable to the elements. Now researchers at Drexel University have demonstrated a type of self-healing concrete embedded with “BioFibers” that use bacteria to patch up cracks as they… Continue reading Self-healing concrete patches up cracks with dormant bacteria
It’s a basic fact that temperatures drop at night, and that can damage crops, equipment and infrastructure. A team of scientists has created a new film that selectively absorbs and reflects different wavelengths of infrared light to efficiently keep ob… Continue reading Selective warming film protects crops and infrastructure from cold nights
Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Magnetic, Magnet… Continue reading Scientists discover strange new form of magnetism
We only have to look up at the Moon to see the remains of a cataclysmic collision between two early planets, billions of years ago. Now scientists suggest evidence may also be deep beneath our feet, as the remains of that ancient planet lurk near the E… Continue reading Ruins of long-lost planet may have been discovered near Earth’s core
