    Zap, zap, zap! Our bodies are electric

    Although these feelings can be triggered by events, such as the death of a loved one or the move to a new city, that isn’t typically considered an “illness” — unless the symptoms are prolonged and harm an individual’s ability to perform normal daily tasks (such as working, sleeping or interacting with others).


    ‘Night Magic’ invites you to celebrate the living wonders of the dark

    ‘Night Magic’ invites you to celebrate the living wonders of the dark

    Henion’s night excursions continue with appearances from glowworms, which are luminous fly larvae that shine blue; colorful moths, major pollinators that are experiencing troubling population declines; and foxfire, the catchall term for bioluminescent fungi glowing on forest floors.


    Can you see Earth’s new ‘minimoon’ with the naked eye?

    Can you see Earth’s new ‘minimoon’ with the naked eye?

    Given the relatively easy trip to a minimoon from Earth, some researchers have proposed using these transient satellites as "stepping stones" for future missions to mine asteroids or explore deeper into our solar system.


    World’s oldest cheese found on 3500-year-old Chinese mummies

    World’s oldest cheese found on 3500-year-old Chinese mummies

    Based on the presence of yeast, lactic acid bacteria and proteins from ruminant milk in the samples, Qiaomei Fu at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and her colleagues have identified the substance as a kind of kefir cheese.


    A thousands-year-old log demonstrates how burying wood can fight climate change

    A thousands-year-old log demonstrates how burying wood can fight climate change

    If the conditions that preserved the Canadian log can be replicated — which is still unclear — buried biomass from discarded wood and sustainable harvesting could sequester up to 10 gigatons of carbon annually, the researchers estimate.


    Black hole ‘blowtorch’ is causing nearby stars to explode, Hubble telescope reveals

    Black hole ‘blowtorch’ is causing nearby stars to explode, Hubble telescope reveals

    To discover the solutions, astronomers will require to search for straight monitorings of celebrity eruptions taking place around cosmic jets. This is much from very easy, yet given that one nova erupts in M87 everyday, it isn’t impossible. Novas normally happen in binary star systems after a white dwarf– the smoldering husk of a dead...

    This researcher studies how misinformation seeps into science and politics

    For instance, Ophir automated his analysis of over 5,000 articles about the H1N1, Ebola and Zika epidemics in four major newspapers: the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today and Wall Street Journal.


    Some healthy fish have bacteria in their brains

    Some healthy fish have bacteria in their brains

    Lab-reared rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) brains may source more than half of bacteria from their blood and guts, suggesting that microbes from other parts of the body traverse the blood-brain barrier to colonize the organ.


    How to spot tiny black holes that might pass through the solar system

    How to spot tiny black holes that might pass through the solar system

    Other effects that could tweak planetary orbits would also need to be accounted for, such as the solar wind of charged particles that streams out from the sun, says astrophysicist Andreas Burkert of Ludwig-Maximilians-UniversitĂ€t MĂŒnchen in Germany, who was not involved with the two studies.


    ‘Shazam for whales’ uses AI to track sounds heard in Mariana Trench

    ‘Shazam for whales’ uses AI to track sounds heard in Mariana Trench

    Allen saw an opportunity to track migrating Bryde’s whales by finding similar biotwang sounds in more than 180,000 hours of underwater recordings from NOAA’s network of hydrophones mounted on the Pacific seafloor.

    The Large Hadron Collider exposes quarks’ quantum entanglement

    (CMS, another experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, also found evidence of top quark entanglement this year, in a study that has not yet been peer reviewed.)


    Earth’s outer core may hold a hidden ‘doughnut’

    Earth’s outer core may hold a hidden ‘doughnut’

    Specifically, the slowed seismic rays may be a result of lighter elements in the outer core, study co-author Hrvoje Tkalčić, a geophysicist at Australian National University, said in a statement.
