NASA has invented a new wearable device to help stop you from touching your face, something that public health experts have warned against since the COVID-19 outbreak began.
Wearable device scolds people for touching their face
NASA's website describes PULSE as "a 3D-printed wearable device that pulses, or vibrates, when a...
Dinosaurs were wiped off the Earth by an asteroid, not volcanic activity as some theories suggest, according to new study.
Research conducted by authors at University College London has offered proof that an asteroid strike on earth was the reason that dinosaurs became extinct in the Cretaceous–Paleogene era. Researchers analyzed...
New Zealand's monster penguins, which lived 62 million years ago, had doppelgangers in Japan, the U.S. and Canada, a study published today in the Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research has found.
Scientists have identified striking similarities between the penguins' fossilized bones and those of a group of much...
A small LED torch that emits deep red light and costs just £12 to make could help improve declining eyesight, researchers have said.
Researchers believe the discovery, published in the Journals of Gerontology, could signal the dawn of new affordable home-based eye therapies, helping the millions of people globally with...
The South Pole has been warming at more than three times the global average over the past 30 years, according to research led by Ohio University professor Ryan Fogt and OHIO alumnus Kyle Clem.
Fogt, professor of meteorology and director of the Scalia Laboratory for Atmospheric Analysis, and Clem coauthored...
When the paradise tree snake flies from one tall branch to another, its body ripples with waves like green cursive on a blank pad of blue sky. That movement, aerial undulation, happens in each glide made by members of the Chrysopelea family, the only known limbless vertebrates capable of...
A new study using Ocean Networks Canada’s (ONC) Pacific Ocean hydrophone data reveals a significant reduction in underwater noise during the COVID-19 shutdown, which may be good news for endangered southern resident killer whales.
When the coronavirus put the world on lockdown in March 2020, David Barclay, assistant professor at...
Engineers completed the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket’s structural testing campaign for the Artemis lunar missions by testing the liquid oxygen structural test article to find its point of failure.
“The Space Launch System and Marshall test team have done a tremendous job of accomplishing this test program, marking a...
Paleontologists have identified a giant wombat-like marsupial that lived 25 million years ago (Oligocene epoch) in what is now Australia. Named Mukupirna nambensis, the prehistoric creature was at least five times larger than living wombats and so different that the researchers have had to create a new family to...
Thank goodness for the Earth's crust: It is, after all, that solid, outermost layer of our planet that supports everything above it.
But much of what happens below that layer remains a mystery, including the fate of sections of crust that vanish back into the Earth. Now, a team of...
