Tag Heuer has announced a partnership with Intel and Google to produce an Android Wear-based smartwatch. Past the chip manufacturer and software platform, nothing is currently known about the device, though the Swiss company did state that it will ho
Elon Musk: cars you can drive will eventually be outlawed ... Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk believes that cars you can control will eventually be outlawed in favor of ones that are controlled by robots. The simple explanation: Musk believes comp
I've talked about how astronomers know that dark matter exists. Even though they can't see it, they detect it through the effect its gravity has on light. Dark matter accounts for 27% of the Universe, dark energy accounts for 68% of the Universe
The Brainflight project is led by Portuguese technology firm Tekever with the backing of several science organizations across Europe and follows in the footsteps of similar research efforts carried out around the globe. Back in 2012, researchers at Z
Supermassive black holes are thought to lurk in the hearts of most, if not all, large galaxies. The largest black holes found so far in the nearby universe have masses more than 10 billion times that of the sun. In comparison, the black hole at the c
Recently triangular objects have been spotted on the surface of the moon, leading ufologists to speculate about the purpose of the odd objects but sceptics argue that the mysterious objects are actually simple pixels that do not appear in the origina
In its stead, Hawking's radical proposal is a much more benign "apparent horizon", which only temporarily holds matter and energy prisoner before eventually releasing them, albeit in a more garbled form.
"There is no escape from a black ho
The heart's intuition is activated through its sense of caring and through its sensitivity and openness to feel. The intuitions of the heart represent the purest and most subtle of feelings and are dependent on relative states of mental and emotion
Christopher Hills taught me that the level of functioning of the fifth level is the important concept making and idea producing development of the brain. This is the level of consciousness that allows us to store up higher abstractions and thoughts i
'I've thought about it and thought about it, over and over and while I cannot say for certain that the burning object in the sky was definitely MH370, the timing fits in with when the Malaysian plane lost contact. I have been trying to disprove tha
When scientists reconstructed the past orbit of the star, known as Scholz's star, they found that it once came within 0.8 light-years (roughly eight trillion kilometers) of Earth's solar system. That distance puts it within the outer reaches of the
First of all remember that we live in an infinite and unlimited universe. There is so much more going on than we could possibly understand with our current level of awareness. Boxing yourself in, in your own mind will only limit your potential for gr
But there are wearables that can. Thync, a brain-shocking wearable, has been heralded as the first mood-altering device on the market. Through gentle shocks, you can use Thync to give yourself energy or calm yourself down, and the team is working on
"We used to view docodons as a relatively homogeneous group," said Zhe-Xi Luo, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago and an author of both papers. "Now we've found a tree climber with specialized teeth and a super digger that was clea
Things very quickly get very brain boggling. Consider this ?" if someone builds a time machine what's to prevent them going back one minute and smashing it up before they first use it? Which means it never gets used ?" so how did it get smashed
The differences suggest that Earth and Moon came into being far from each other, an idea that stumbles over the inability of astrophysicists to explain how exactly the Moon became a satellite of the Earth." The Moon is extremely dry and does not ap
So instead, scientists use echoes generated by earthquakes to study the core, by analysing how they change as they travel through the different layers of our planet.
Prof Xiaodong Song, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign said: "The
According to Chris Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission, the positioning of the bright spots within the same area may indicate "a volcano-like origin of the spots," but scientists will have to wait for higher resolution images befor
In contrast, languages with simpler tone pitches are mainly found in drier regions. This is explained by the fact that the vocal folds require a humid environment to produce the right tone.
The tone pitch is a key element of communication in all
In the new study, the researchers found that, after drinking beetroot juice, participants experienced a 38 percent increase in blood flow to their skeletal muscles while exercising. Significantly, blood flow increased most to the fast-twitch muscles
"Then, he pressed two buttons to shut down cabin pressurization. Within a few seconds, the hijacker would have passed out. But if that was the captain's plan, something went wrong. On this plane, either pilot can use the autopilot in the FLITCH (
The European Space Agency's ambitious mission to Jupiter, JUICE, will visit its fire-and-ice moons ?" volcanic Io, icy Europa, giant Ganymede, and cratered Callisto ?" in the 2030s. But it will only provide a glimpse of Europa's surface from
Cinnamon slows down the rate your stomach empties after a meal, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels. Consuming cinnamon with meals helps lower the glycemic index (the rate your blood sugar levels increase with a particular food) of the meal you
They found that the two proteins demonstrated chelating activity, meaning that they removed heavy metals from the body. In addition, when the proteins were hydrolyzed with pepsin-pancratin, they also demonstrated antioxidant and antihypertensive acti
Located in the northern part of Utah, Great Salt Lake is the largest salt water lake in the world, and after the great lakes the largest lake by surface area in the United States. It covers an average area of around 1,700 square miles (4,400 km2), al
"We found we can change an animal's sleep and wake rhythms by artificially stimulating the neurons in the master biological clock, which is located in an area of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), with a laser and an optical fib
The finding helps solve the mystery of where the "missing" oil from the spill landed. Its location had eluded both the U.S. government and BP cleanup crews after the April 2010 disaster that caused about 200 million gallons (757 million liters) of
Vladimir Nabokov once called his famed fictional creation Lolita 'a little ghost in natural colours'. The natural colours he used to paint his 'little ghost' were especially vivid in part because of a neurological quirk that generated interna
For visualization, it is helpful to think of the first tier of matter as spaced out bird seed sitting around in pairs, but still naturally close together in terms of radii. I expect it to be quite dense in fact. Sacks of these bird seeds can be ga
The team itself had already made known its reduced confidence in the detection. But the new paper is significant because it is co-authored by "rival" scientists. These are the Planck Consortium of researchers, who were operating a European Space Ag
