An international team of researchers has reported the development of an algorithm that can translate the emotional state of pigs from the sound of their grunts. The researchers indicate the system could be used to monitor the well-being of pigs on a fa… Continue reading Scientists create pig translator that decodes emotions from grunts
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have identified a specific set of neurons in the brainstem that, when stimulated by electric pulses, can help improve the mobility of patients with Parkinson’s disease.

While non-alcoholic beer has some obvious advantages over its traditional counterpart, many people say that it just doesn’t taste as good. Danish scientists now claim to have overcome that problem, using genetically engineered baker’s yeast.Continue Re… Continue reading Engineered yeast could improve the flavor of non-alcoholic beer
Recent research has raised the alarm over the potential health impacts of consuming water from plastic bottles, with scientists concerned over the chemicals that can leach into the liquid with unknown impacts on human health. A new study has investigat… Continue reading Soft plastic bottles leach hundreds of chemicals into drinking water
Animals are constantly shedding DNA into their environment, traces of which can then be detected in soil and water – and now, perhaps even air. Two new studies collected air samples from zoos and were able to identify a range of animals living in and a… Continue reading Zoo experiments detect dozens of animals from airborne DNA

Astronomers have spotted two “invisible” galaxies hiding near the dawn of the universe. The team used radio waves to peer behind a curtain of dust that was obscuring them from view, and the find suggests that there were far more galaxies in the early u… Continue reading Astronomers spot “invisible” galaxies at the dawn of the universe
Researchers have isolated a compound from an Australian desert shrub with a long history of medicinal use by the Indigenous peoples of Australia that could help cancer patients better respond to chemotherapy.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTa… Continue reading Ancient Australian plant promises to expand chemotherapy effectiveness
Cancer uses all kinds of cunning trickery to thrive in the human body, and scientists in Denmark have just uncovered a new one that tells a familiar but interesting tale of survival. The researchers have found that cancer cells use a technique seen in … Continue reading Injured cancer cells eat their own membranes to survive and spread
The expansion of the universe is accelerating, but we’re not really sure why. The current best models give the driving force the placeholder name of “dark energy” – but that might not even exist. A new study has found that if dark matter had some unusu… Continue reading “Magnetic” dark matter may be accelerating the universe’s expansion
