Scientists find cave on the moon that could house future astronauts
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists have identified a moon cave not far from where Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed 55 years ago and speculate there could be hundreds more that could be habitable for future astronauts. An Italian-led team reported Monday that they have evidence of a sizable cavern accessible through the deepest […]
Scientists create creepy lifelike faces with real human skin for robots
“Cyber Guy”: Throw yourself into the game Researchers in Tokyo have developed a way to create living skin for robots using perforating anchors. Kurt Knutsson explains the exciting possibilities. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a groundbreaking way to cover the surface of robots with real, living skin tissue. The idea of a […]
Scientists make DNA discovery that could help find pancreatic cancer cure | Pancreas cancer
Scientists have made an important DNA discovery that could help treat one of the deadliest forms of cancer. A team of British and US researchers have found that pancreatic cancer shuts down a molecule in one of the body’s most important genes, helping the disease grow and spread rapidly. Pancreatic cancer is the 12th most […]
How Australian scientists brought Norfolk Island’s thumbnail-sized snails back from the brink of extinction | Australia news
First, there is a bulge on the right side of the snail’s neck, and then slowly (because everything in the snail world happens slowly) a fully formed baby snail appears, shell and all. An adult Campbell’s glass snail gave birth to more than 20 babies last week in a quarantine facility at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo. […]
As British butterflies head north, scientists ask public to help track migration | Butterflies
Scientists are urging the public to help them track how British butterflies are migrating north as the climate warms. Looking at 50 years of data, researchers from the wildlife conservation group Butterfly Conservation, which holds an annual event, Large butterfly countWe found that many species commonly seen in gardens, such as comma, peacock and holly […]
Our Dystopian Overlords Just Created Something Scientists Say Is ‘Too Dangerous To Release’
Analysis released Wednesday by LiveScience detailed how a new Microsoft invention is apparently “too dangerous to release” to the public. Microsoft’s artificial intelligence innovation VALL-E 2 can allegedly recreate human voices so convincingly, from just a few seconds of audio, according to a paper published on the pre-print arXiv server, analyzed by LiveScience. The research […]
Artificial intelligence scientists developing tools to decode what your dog’s barks mean
Ann Arbor, Michigan Researchers at the University of Michigan are investigating how artificial intelligence techniques can be used to understand dog communication. Scientists are developing tools to distinguish whether a dog’s barking is playful or aggressive, and hope to glean more information from the dog’s barks, such as age, breed and sex. “By using a […]
CRAZY: Scientists invent ‘anti-gravity’ device that could
A scientist named Charles Buehler claims that he and a group of scientists and engineers have developed a device that defies the laws of physics in that it can move on its own without the need for propellant. Buehler, co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies and a NASA electrostatic expert, said his team has been researching […]
Scientists investigate mysterious giant scar stretching across Mars
Scientists are investigating a huge, mysterious scar spanning the length of Mars, but they don’t know how it formed there. The incredible formation, which stretches some 600 kilometers (373 miles) — longer than the Grand Canyon at 446 kilometers (227 miles) — was photographed by ESA’s Mars Express spacecraft. The scar, known as Aganippe Fossa, […]
New research finds Earth’s core slowed so significantly it reversed course, scientists not exactly sure of effects
At the center of the Earth is a solid metal sphere that rotates independently of the Earth’s rotation. Scientists have debated the speed and direction of the inner core’s rotation. However, new research suggests that the speed of the inner core appears to have changed in recent years. However, researchers are not exactly sure if […]
