Sorry, gentlemen, but women are better than you at remembering certain things, including conversations and people’s faces. According to the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, such types of memories are called “episodic memories” – consciously recollected memories related to personally experienced events. Remembering these is a dynamic process that draws upon both mnemonic and non-mnemonic cognitive abilities to mentally […]

Scientists use computer simulations to understand the possibility of hyperspace travel via black holes
One of the most common tropes in science fiction involves the use of black holes as portals to other dimensions or points in time. A recent study suggests that such a scenario may be closer to reality than it is to fantasy. While scientists have predominantly believed that using black holes – a region of space-time exhibiting […]

A dead supercontinent is partly responsible for the ocean sinking into the Earth’s mantle, explain researchers
Every day, hundreds of millions of gallons of water drain from the oceans into the Earth’s mantle, and geologists think that a dead supercontinent may be to blame. Dubbed the “deep water cycle” or the “geologic water cycle,” this phenomenon occurs when water gets soaked up by minerals within the earth’s mantle through a process called subduction. As the […]

Japanese researchers discover novel enzyme from soil fungus that can be used for industrial purposes
A new enzyme has been discovered in a soil fungus previously linked to fruit rot, according to Japanese researchers. The enzyme, identified as a type of glucanase by a group of researchers from Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo Institute of Technology and other organizations, may play an important role in soil ecosystems. According to the study, which was published in The […]

The truth about antimatter: Experiment confirms it is BOTH a particle and a wave
Antimatter – defined by modern physics as sub-atomic particles that have properties opposite normal sub-atomic particles – has recently been confirmed as both a particle and a wave. In a study published in the journal Scientific Advances, a team of physicists from Italian and Swiss institutions, said they made the discovery after subjecting positrons, or positively charged antimatter particles, […]

Technology and road safety: Brain-training game helps improve the driving skills of older people
Older adults looking to improve their driving skills may need to sit down and play a brain-training video game before hitting the road, according to a new study. Carried out by Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan and led by Rui Nouchi, associate professor in the Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, the research found that seniors who played […]

A quake in 1959 sent “time traveling” aftershocks that were felt 60 years later
Sixty years after it left a trail of death and destruction, a powerful earthquake is still making its presence felt, according to a new study. In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, researchers from the University of Utah determined that the small earthquakes that rocked Maple Creek, just outside of Yellowstone volcano caldera, were not triggered […]

Researchers explore health benefits of African plants and spices
Spices aren’t just good for adding flavor and kick to your meals: They’re good for treating skin infections too. According to a study in the Journal of Medical Plants Research, several compounds extracted from native Cameroonian spices have been proven effective when it comes to treating skin infections, including those from antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Researchers from the University of Dschang in […]

Innate intelligence: Scientists theorize that the origins of human technology occurred spontaneously
Much has been said about the intelligence of chimpanzees: they can be taught to “speak” in sign language, some have exhibited incredible creativity and artistry, and some have even been observed to grieve and mourn the deaths of friends and family. A recent research however, suggests that there may be more to their intelligence than what […]
