A group of scientists in Dallas, Texas have completed a five year DNA study that they say confirms the existence of a hominin hybrid species living in North America.
The controversial study is currently under peer-review, but the associated team believes there’s conclusive evidence pointing to scientific proof of the existence Bigfoot A.K.A. Sasquatch.
Today NASA confirmed that Mercury, the closest planet to the sun where temperatures can reach 800 °F, has water ice on its surface.
“For more than 20 years the jury has been deliberating on whether (Mercury) hosts abundant water ice in its permanently shadowed polar regions. MESSENGER has now supplied a unanimous affirmative verdict,” said NASA’s Sean Solomon.
“Using silk strands pulled from cocoons and gold wires thinner than a spider’s web, researchers at Princeton University have created a removable tattoo that adheres to dental enamel and could eventually monitor a patient’s health with unprecedented sensitivity.”
Exciting news from Cambridge University where doctors have reversed damage from spinal injuries in dogs. Researchers are hopeful that down the road, spinal nerve damage in humans can be repaired with this same method, by using self-regenerating cells harvested from the nose.
“Equal to or substantially better than steroids, and it’s not illegal.” -Stanford’s Dr. H. Craig Heller
With humongous salaries, countless endorsements and the idolization of the masses, more and more athletes are becoming open to the idea of taking steroids to improve their on-field performance.
What we’re learning about the effects of performance enhancing drugs on the body are devastating: hormonal, cardiovascular and neurological issues and even worse.
Biologists at Stanford University are on the cusp of a breakthrough device, a cooling glove, that will help athletes exceed their peak performance levels in a unique but completely healthy manner.
“I haven’t sat down for six months now.” -Sunita Williams
Ever wondered what it would be like to float around on the International Space Station?
Commander Suni Williams gives us that very chance, taking us on a personal, in-depth tour of the ISS. We get to feast our eyes on where people snooze, how they pump iron, how they maneuver about the giant craft, what types of Bill Nye inspired science experiments are conducted and even how they use the bathroom. The video was recorded this week, twelve hours before Ms. Williams headed back to Earth, which probably explains why she’s in such a good mood.
“This may be our best hope for controlling the HIV pandemic.” -Dr. Marie-Claire Gauduin
Researchers at the Texas Biomedical Research Institute have applied for a patent for a one-time administered vaccine they believe will provide a lifetime’s worth of protection against the most commonly transmitted form of HIV.
A special bacteria is being used to heal the most common building material in the world.
The fact that concrete is far from a perfect material is common knowledge; if it was anywhere close to perfect, we wouldn’t see so much traffic-halting construction everywhere. Concrete is the best we’ve got for now, so we’ve gotta find a way to make it work.
There are nearly four quadrillion gallons of water in the air, yet people all over the world are still thirsty. Scientists have been working to break into this untapped resource for over a decade, and are making some incredible breakthroughs.
Progress in this field has been made by studying the survival mechanisms of an insect living in one of the most hostile regions on the planet.
