Diabolical wasp turns spiders into zombie slaves by hacking their hormones
Around the world, parasitoid wasps use spiders as the host for their babies. Researchers recently found that the wasps take advantage of the spiders’ hormone to force their victims into doing their bidding. A wasp starts the gruesome series of events by laying an egg on the body of a spider. Its larva feeds on their host […]

Experts say your face is designed for better gesturing and non-verbal communication
Humans wordlessly communicate with others by moving their eyebrows and other facial features in unique ways. A study suggests that the heavy use of non-verbal communication might have influenced the evolution of human faces to grow softer and more malleable over time. The softer the face, the easier it is to move its features in […]

Meteoroids release water vapor into space when they hit the moon – could it have water under its surface?
A new study suggests that small amounts of water might hide just beneath the surface of the moon. The lunar water only emerged after a meteoroid slammed deep enough into the lunar rock to extract it. The Apollo astronauts brought back samples of lunar rocks from 1969 to 1972. Analyses found no trace of water in […]

Physicists develop new material that could be used for “high-efficiency, lower-cost solar cells”
Researchers have not yet solved the biggest weakness of solar panels – their inability to produce power when there is no steady source of bright light. However, they were happy to announce that they have increased the efficiency of perovskite solar cells to take advantage of the limited daylight hours. University of Toledo (UT) researcher Dr. […]

Thinking, feeling insects? Study reveals paper wasps are capable of a form of logical (deductive) reasoning
The paper wasp has become the first invertebrate animal that proves capable of transitive inference – the same form of logical reasoning that humans and other, more complex animals use for deduction. Transitive inference leverages known links to reason out unknown relationships. An animal capable of such logic knows that if A is greater than […]

Researchers study zebrafish brain cells to develop new treatments for Alzheimer’s
A potential solution to the debilitating effects of Alzheimer’s disease may lie within the zebrafish. The popular aquarium fish can grow new brain cells to replace the ones they’ve lost to injury or sickness. Their ability to regenerate neurons comes from progenitor cells. These cells may offer a way for humans to slow down the onset […]

How 45-year-old data led to discovering lava lamp-like “blobs” that oozed from the sun
Researchers looking for evidence that solar wind formed lines of blob-like shapes finally stumbled across the distinctly-shaped phenomena in space probe data taken more than 40 years ago. In 1974 and 1976, Germany and NASA launched the Helios space probes into orbit around the sun. The two spacecraft took readings of the solar wind and particles for years. […]

The wonders of the human body: Do humans have smell receptors on their tongues?
Your sense of smell may not be limited to just your nose. New research suggests that humans have olfactory receptors on their tongues as well as inside their nostrils. Millions of smell receptors fill the nostrils of mammals, including humans. Their effectiveness varies, but people have a sharper sense of smell than most realize. Other […]

How is a massive “blob” of rock causing earthquakes in Central Asia?
Far beneath the Hindu Kush mountains of Central Asia, a giant blob of continental rock is slowly dripping away from the lithosphere into the mantle below. A recent study attributed many of the deepest earthquakes in the region to the movements of this blob. The Hindu Kush runs for hundreds of miles and straddles the border of Afghanistan […]

Endangered fir tree from China contains compound that may combat cancer
An endangered species of fir in China might get more attention after one of its natural compounds showed potential in treating cancer. In a 2019 study supported by Purdue University, Chinese researchers compound 30 showed that it supported a cancer-fighting enzyme. Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. In the United States […]
