Cryopreserved avocados may be sent to outer space
Astronauts may never have to miss out on avocados during a space voyage, thanks to a group of researchers who developed a cryopreservation method for the fruit. The team froze avocado shoots in cryotubes and revived them later to be regrown into a healthy plant. After trying out different techniques and avocado varieties, they said that the series of experiments was an overall […]

Scientists identify 24 exoplanets that may be more habitable than Earth
Researchers from the U.S. and Germany have uncovered two dozen exoplanets that may be better at supporting life than Earth. Exoplanets, celestial bodies that orbit a star other than the sun, are found everywhere in the cosmos. Some of them are located in the orbital region around a star, called the liquid water habitable zone, where planets could have stable atmospheres […]

Amazing Earth: The planet’s magnetic poles can flip more frequently than originally thought
Earth is wrapped by a magnetic field powered by the churning of hot molten metals in the outer core. Thanks to this invisible field, the planet is protected from the solar wind and cosmic particles, permitting just enough radiation to tide humans by. This magnetic field, however, can flip and does so many times every million years or so, […]

Free fuel for satellites: Large asteroids close to Earth could be mined for water, suggest researchers
It appears the Moon isn’t the best option for mining water in space. Recent research published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets found that asteroids close to Earth may be rich in water, making them better candidates for space mining. Researchers identified several of these asteroids and said that they are easier to reach than the Moon. Most of these near-Earth objects (NEOs) […]

Fast, quiet, invisible: Scientists develop squid robots with potential military, scientific applications
Scientists have designed a squid-like robot with potential scientific and military applications, thanks to its high-speed, quiet propulsion techniques. Physicists from the University of California, San Diego based the design on the unique and efficient swimming strategy of squids and other cephalopods. It’s made of smart materials that make them difficult to detect, which is why it’s an ideal weapon for […]

Problematic but not apocalyptic: Weakening magnetic field prompts scientists to ponder what life on Earth would be like without it
Earth is wrapped by invisible protective lines created by the churn of its core. These lines make up what’s known as the magnetic field. And it has served the planet well for billions of years: It has protected Earth from the solar wind and provided a basis for navigation. Unfortunately, it has also been weakening for about […]

Are we under alien surveillance? Physicists say it’s a possibility
Aliens might have already found us, and they’ve been on the lookout ever since. American physicist James Benford proposes that alien “lurkers” may have set up probes on near-Earth objects (NEOs) that follow an orbital pattern similar to Earth. What’s more, these co-orbitals are very close to us, bound gravitationally not just to the sun but also the planet. But […]

Heavy metal rain: Colossal “kilonova” explosions may be showering a nearby galaxy in gold and platinum
It’s not uncommon for cosmic objects such as stars to crash into each other. Such mergers generate massive explosions and send gravitational waves rippling through the cosmos. Mergers involving neutron stars are particularly strong. They result in a massive, turbocharged explosion called a kilonova that can be observed in nearly all space telescopes on Earth. An international […]

Researchers develop algorithm that will allow robots to work together with humans … or hunt us like prey
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a novel algorithm that allows robots to better predict where humans are headed. This tool can pave the way for robots working in a structured work setting, such as in factories. Improved algorithm boosts performance The researchers collaborated with automobile manufacturer BMW to test ways in which humans […]

Customers are 80 percent less likely to buy from merchants if they figure out they’re talking to AI, study finds
Artificial intelligence, or AI, has recently taken the labor market by storm. It’s cost-efficient and effective at jobs previously held by humans, such as customer service. But it has yet to earn customer trust, suggests a study published in the journal Marketing Science. Researchers from the U.S. and China examined the responses of customers when faced with AI-controlled chatbots, computer […]
