Two "baby dragon" olm eggs hatched in the Slovenian Postojna Cave four months after they were laid. These almost blind creatures can survive only through smell and sense.
The universe is expanding and it is one of the facts about the cosmic space that probably everyone knows by now. In fact, the universe has been expanding since the Bing Bang happened more than 13.5 billion years ago.
Previously, a group of divers discovered something unusual while taking a dip near the island of Zakynthos, Greece. There were mounds of ruins underwater and it was initially thought that these must be the remains of an ancient Greek city. However, a team of researchers has now come up with a theory that these could actually be a result of naturally-occurring geological phenomenon.
U.S. Navy researchers have developed a high-tech, in-helmet display that will assist underwater personnel by using augmented reality.The device not only shows design inspiration from the world of sci-fi but is said to increase the safety and efficiency of divers in the line of duty.Those who took diving as a hobby already know that the experience is fun, but it comes with a degree of clumsiness and isolation. Standard masks narrow down the field of view, while the neoprene gloves hinder precision.Professional divers could use any help they can get to make their work easier and more streamlined.
Using a new satellite-based method, NASA scientists have located 39 unreported and major human-made sources of toxic sulphur dioxide emissions. The unreported emission sources, found in the analysis of satellite data from 2005 to 2014, are clusters of coal-burning power plants, smelters, oil and gas operations found notably in the Middle East, but also in Mexico and parts of Russia.In addition, reported emissions from known sources in these regions were — in some cases — two to three times lower than satellite-based estimates.
A team of Canadian and American researchers have identified 39 new sources of sulfur dioxide pollution, according to a report by the American space agency NASA. All these sources of pollution were previously identified, the report states.
A flat lens created with titanium dioxide by a team of Harvard researchers can revolutionize optical technology and lead to the manufacture of smaller cameras and telescopes.
It was rumored last month that the scientists are planning to create a synthetic human genome, however the project was not confirmed until now. It has been finally revealed that the "secret meeting" was called on to take a decision on the new project, dubbed Human Genome Project-Write (HGP-Write).
Google has trained its autonomous vehicles to honk on their own, with different honks for various situations, reveals the company's current self-driving car monthly report.
The iron dagger found in King Tut's mummified remains was made from a meteoric material, which suggests extra-terrestrial origins, according to researchers.
Scientists conducted a small study, injecting stem cells directly into the brains of chronic stroke patients. The test led to positive results, showing that some could even walk again.
It may be hard to squeeze in daily workout into your busy schedule but staying healthy and in shape is also necessary these days. According to recent research, if one exercises first thing in the morning, it not only aides in weight loss but also boosts energy levels, thus increasing productivity throughout the day, preventing your body from gaining the weight.
Now the robots are one step closer to being as humans as they can be. They can not only choose their mate but also have sex and create “Robot babies.” A team of scientists from Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam proved this successfully by creating the first robot parents who gave birth to a baby robot.
