The picture shows a computer illustration of a chameleon-like artificial “skin” developed by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley. ​Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have created a super thin material that can be made to change color on demand when a minute amount of force is applied. “This is the first time anybody has made a flexible chameleon-like skin... 

In this artist’s concept, the moon Ganymede orbits the giant planet Jupiter. New data suggests Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, the largest in the solar system, has an underground ocean which contains more water than all of Earth’s surface water combined, according to NASA. NASA scientists were able to use the Hubble Space Telescope to collect more than seven hours of data about the auroral belts... 

A recent study suggests that genes tied to autism development risk are associated with higher intelligence in people. The study was carried out by researchers at the Universities of Edinburgh and Queensland and published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. “Our findings show that genetic variation which increases risk for autism is associated with better cognitive ability in non-autistic individuals,”... 

American scientists have discovered a new class of drugs which dramatically slows the aging process by alleviating frailty symptoms, extending healthy lifespan and improving cardiac function. The research was carried out on animal models by a group of scientists from the Mayo Clinic and the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and published in the online edition of the journal Aging Cell on March 9. The...

The aircraft called Solar Impulse 2 took off at 7:12 a.m. local time (0412 GMT) in the UAE’s capital, Abu Dhabi, on Monday and headed to the Omani capital city of Muscat as the first leg of its 12-leg... 

A new way of generating energy could potentially power human colonies on Mars, a new study claims. This is thanks to nothing more than dry ice, which is abundant on the red planet, according to recent research. Since man wants to start colonizing the place within the next few decades, we need all the help we can get. This could also have profound implications on planning. For now, we’re only considering... 

A humanoid robot named Milo interacts with children at a center in the US state of Texas. A US robotics manufacturer has unveiled a humanoid robot designed to help improve social and emotional skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). US company, Robokind, presented a robot named Milo during the National Press Club conference in Washington on Wednesday, saying it had been built with... 

As the public began to wake up to the absurdity and brutality of the militarized police state, isn’t it serendipitous that we have a militarized terror strike in a major Western city? FOX commentator Eric Bolling wastes no time in calling for a hyper-militarized police response, in his words, “over-militarized.” As laughable as his statements are, they’re not satire and they’re not funny. Are... 

Analysis of water residue in Martian ice caps indicates that the Red Planet was once, at least partly, blue. Billions of years ago, Mars had a body of water that held more water than Earth’s Arctic Ocean, according to a NASA study published Thursday. “Our study provides a solid estimate of how much water Mars once had, by determining how much later was lost to space,”said Geronimo Villanueva,... 

Tech firms are rushing to fix a disastrous security flaw dubbed ‘FREAK’, stemming from the US government’s requirement of lower encryption standards, that for over a decade left millions of users visiting ‘secured’ websites exposed to potential attacks. Cyber security experts have discovered a massive flaw that allows attackers to decrypt HTTPS-protected traffic passing between millions... 

We don’t usually do this but since we got a couple of requests on this coming from some Serbian forum, we decided why not, since this is a pretty popular speaker system and this is actually quite a frequent problem for these speakers. So many people threw so many of these fine built speakers just for this minor issue… it’s a pity now one came with a detailed guide on how to fix them... 

The remains of a male associated with the Middle Neolithic Salzmünde culture in Germany. A recent study has suggested that a vast human migration by ancient Eastern European steppe herders may have spread Indo-European languages to other parts of Europe. The study was carried out by a team of researchers from the US, Australia, and other countries by assessing multiple libraries of DNA samples from... 

Half of the Studies Find Cause For Concern… The Other Half Are Studies By the GMO Food Industry Itself. Tufts University’s Director of the Research and Policy Program at the Global Development and Environment Institute (Timothy Wise) points out: There is no … consensus on the safety of GM food. A peer-reviewed study of the research, from peer-reviewed journals, found that about half of the... 

This cryo-electron tomography image reveals the internal structure of an ultra-small bacteria cell like never before. Scientists have taken the first ever extensive microscopy images of ultra-small bacteria, which are so far thought to be the smallest life forms in existence. The bacteria have an average volume of 0.009 cubic microns (a micron is one millionth of a meter), 150,000 of which could be... 

The newly-spotted black hole questions the rate at which they grow. Astronomers have discovered a black hole that is 12 billion times more massive than the sun. The new finding, described in a study published in science weekly Nature on Wednesday, could challenge a generally accepted theory about how black holes are formed. The supermassive black hole, estimated to have been formed only 875 million...
