The Viking missions were two space probes launched towards Mars in 1975. After orbiting the 4th […]
Living by the Sea makes you happier
A new study has found that living by the sea makes you happier than those living inland. Researchers from the University of Exeter used data from 25,963 respondents to a survey to calculate that if people lived within 1 kilometer of the sea, they were less likely to suffer mental health problems for those in the lowest income brackets.

Billions of microplastics in your tea – and their devastating effects on your health.

Hurtling thought space is a high speed object dubbed ‘C/2019 Q4’ and it’s heading our way with it set to fire past Mars in October. Scientists are still baffled as to what […]
New microscopes help capture the complexity of brain organisation
Stunning images have been revealed of the complexity of organ development by a new generation of microscopes that are able to process large data sets faster than existing microscope. In traditional microscopes, the user cuts the sample with a blade and then observes it under the microscope. A light sheet microscope uses a ‘sheet’ of light to cut the sample. […]
Jurors find Roundup contributed to 2nd man’s cancer

The antioxidant lycopene is more readily available when the tomatoes are cooked and it is thought lycopene helps prevent some types of cancer such as prostrate cancer. Researchers from the Universitat Politècnica […]
Amputees can be ‘tricked’ into feeling sensations with virtual reality
Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have used prosthetic limbs and virtual reality technology to ‘trick’ amputees to feel sensations. The concept of phantom limbs has long been around, with some amputees claiming to feel sensations or pain where missing limbs should be. Almost as if the mind hasn’t registered that the limb is no longer there. The […]
