Most of us are familiar with the vest-clad beagle that hunts for illegal fruits and plants in the travelers’ luggage at airports. Now, a species of giant pouched rat has been trained to fulfill a similar role in finding illegal wildlife products.Contin… Continue reading Vest-wearing giant rats could be smugglers’ worst nightmare
Thor and the Hulk may be more closely related than we thought. Thunderstorms are known to produce gamma rays in the atmosphere, but a new study has found that not only do they happen way more often than we realized, but they’re much weirder.Continue Re… Continue reading Storm clouds generate strange gamma radiation

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated how a specific protein increases in our organs as we get older and actively promotes the aging process. By blocking this activity, it could not only help us live longer, but slow the physical decline tha… Continue reading Anti-aging drug extends life up to 25%, staves off frailty and disease
Researchers have developed an intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that enhances the immune system’s response to the virus, providing longer-lasting, greater protection than vaccine injections, even against new and emerging variants. The novel vaccine candidate… Continue reading Novel nasal COVID-19 vaccine offers longer, better immunity than jabs
In order to keep surgeries minimally invasive, it would be great if implants could be injected into the body in liquid form, then solidified once in place. Well, a new ultrasound-based 3D printing process may one day make that very thing possible.Conti… Continue reading New ultrasound tech could be used to 3D-print implants inside the body
Back in 2018, scientists at Duke University discovered that each time our eyes move, our ears make an imperceptible squeaking noise. Now, the researchers have developed a method of telling where a person is looking by analyzing those sounds.Continue Re… Continue reading Scientists can now tell where you’re looking by listening to your ears
A study has found that sex toys are an overlooked source of microplastics and phthalates, both of which can be toxic. Given their intimate use, the researchers say their findings highlight the need for greater regulation of the sex toy industry to ensu… Continue reading Sex toys exposed as an overlooked source of microplastics, study finds
Researchers have developed a high-resolution sensor that records brain signals to decode what people are trying to say. While still early days, the device may provide people who’ve lost speech due to neurodegenerative disease with the ability to commun… Continue reading Implant uses brain signals to decode what people are trying to say
