When they’re under attack, plants send warning signals, says a recent study published in Current Biology. These signals come in the form of airborne natural chemicals, called volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which alert neighboring plants to a threat. #PlantCommunication
An international team of researchers says that parallel universes may now be discovered through the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle smasher. #paralleluniverse
Virtual reality software which allows researchers to ‘walk’ inside and analyze individual cells could be used to understand fundamental problems in biology and develop new treatments for disease. #virtualreality
Medical researchers have made a shocking historical anatomical discovery by finding a new organ located at the center of the human head. #scientificdiscoveries
One of the most respected physicists in the world recently stunned the science community by claiming there is evidence our universe formed in the aftermath of a far more ancient universe. #ancientuniverse #universe
Now a new analysis shows that the odds that we are living in base reality—meaning an existence that is not simulated—are pretty much even. But the study also demonstrates that if humans were to ever develop the ability to simulate conscious beings, the chances would overwhelmingly tilt in favor of us, too, being virtual denizens inside someone else’s computer. #simulation
A life-sized robotic dolphin could help finally put an end to animal captivity in aquariums for good by replacing real-life animals. #robotdolphin #EndAnimalCaptivity #AnimalRights
An engineer and YouTuber based in Canada has created a fully functional – and likely very deadly – lightsaber, turning the concept introduced over four decades ago by the first Star Wars film into a reality. #LightSaber #StarWars
Military dogs are used to wearing goggles as protection against bad weather or for aerial drops. Now the augmented reality system will be brand new for them.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continues to approve tens of thousands of satellites and similar vehicles from SpaceX and other companies to provide internet coverage – including unsafe 5G – from space.
Astronomers have found six galaxies lying around a supermassive black hole when the Universe was less than a billion years old. This is the first time such a close grouping has been seen so soon after the Big Bang and the finding helps us better understand how supermassive black holes formed and grew so quickly. It supports the theory that black holes can grow rapidly within large structures which contain plenty of gas to fuel them. #blackholes
Researchers at the University of Queensland, Australia, claim to have proven that time travel is theoretically possible according to the laws of physics. #timetravel
A document archived in the CIA’s electronic reading room written by a University Professor details the reality of children, and adults, who have gifted abilities in the area of parapsychology. #superkids
Finnish research has discovered the functional ability of older people is much better today, compared to people of the same age three decades ago. #longevity
Scientists can see how dark matter is distributed based on how its gravity affects light, but when astronomers compared recent data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Telescope to current models, something didn’t add up. #darkmatter #sciencenews
