No, this is not the plot from a new Jurassic Park movie, this is real life! A specimen believed to be somewhere from 66 to 72 million years old was recently discovered. It is thought to be the most complete dinosaur embryo ever found! Read more below to find out more about this fascinating discovery. ...
Imagine you could grow a new limb or a new organ. We would be able to live forever if that were the case. However, while we cannot grow new limbs, our bodies still react in pretty miraculous ways when they have experienced injuries. For example, skeletal muscle has the amazing ability to regenerate itself after...
It’s something we all intuitively knew already – moving around to music that you enjoy makes you feel good. However, an Australian research study has now proven that dancing is indeed among the best forms of depression treatment. The aim of the study was to find out which exercises would work best for treating depressive...
In this day and age, feeling constantly tired seems to just be something we all have to deal with. Trying to juggle the many responsibilities we all face can often prove a daunting task. However, feeling constantly tired could actually be a sign of a hidden and dangerous condition. In this article, we will find...
We are surrounded by water, yet fresh drinking water is always an issue. This is because more than 97% of the earth’s water is saltwater. But, what if there was an effective way to desalinate the salty water of the oceans? Enter a new innovative device that can apparently convert 93% of light from the...
We have all been reminded many times that it is important to get sufficient quality sleep. However, it is becoming more apparent that maintaining a consistent waking and bedtime is equally, if not more, important to your health. In fact, a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association has linked inconsistent...
We like to believe we have a pretty good idea of how things work in our universe. However, the truth is that there is still much we don’t know. Physicists have spent decades creating complex theories to help us make sense of the world around us. Yet, the truth may be simultaneously simpler and stranger...
Researchers fom South Korea’s Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology have developed an extremely efficient energy harvesting device. This innovative new device turns body movements into electrical energy! Quite remarkably, the newly developed device has an energy conversion efficiency 280 times more effective than traditional piezoelectric energy harvesters. Body Movement and The Piezoelectric Effect...
A significant milestone will be reached in 2026, when SPARC will develop its first plasma, resulting in the severe conditions required for nuclear fusion. The fusion energy company, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, has announced its plans for the development of the world’s very first grid-scale commercial fusion power station. It is planned to be constructed in...
So many of our devices rely on batteries. However, they typically have a short lifespan, adding to the issue with waste products. Thankfully, scientists from the UK Atomic Energy Authority and the University of Bristol have just created the first carbon-14 diamond battery in the world. This groundbreaking energy source has the ability to power...
Plastic is a huge concern for the environment. When consumer products and industrial waste break down, the environment becomes inundated with small pieces of plastic known as microplastics. For this reason, scientists are currently dedicating so much of their time to finding a solution to this ever-increasing issue. Thankfully, they have recently created a sponge-like...
