The Day in Science - 9th May
6 things that make the world today, better than the one yesterday!
1. Could eating peppers prevent Parkinson's?
New research reveals that Solanaceae -a flowering plant family with some species producing foods that are edible sources of nicotine -may provide a protective effect against Parkinson's disease.

A laugh may signal mockery, humor, joy or simply be a response to tickling, but each kind of laughter conveys a wealth of auditory and social information. These different kinds of laughter also spark different connections within the "laughter perception network" in the human brain depending on their context, according to new research.

1. Plants 'talk' to plants to help them grow
Having a neighborly chat improves seed germination, finds new research. Even when other known means of communication, such as contact, chemical and light-mediated signals, are blocked, chilli seeds grow better when grown with basil plants. This suggests that plants are talking via nanomechanical vibrations.

2. English May Have Retained Words From an Ice Age Language
The existence of shared wordshas led some linguists to suggest that seemingly unrelated language families can be traced back to a common ancestor. Now, a new statistical approach suggests that peoples from Alaska to Europe may share a linguistic forebear dating as far back as the end of the Ice Age, about 15,000 years ago.

The Day in Science - 9th April
Daily coverage of the latest scientific research
1. See-through brains clarify connections
Technique to make tissue transparent offers three-dimensional view of neural networks. This chemical treatment that turns whole organs transparent offers a big boost to the field of ‘connectomics’ — the push to map the brain’s fiendishly complicated wiring. ➜http://goo.gl/FkmLn
2. First genetic factor in prostate cancer prognosis identified
Patients with prostate cancer and hereditary mutations in the BRCA2 gene have a worse prognosis and lower survival rates than do the rest of the patients with the disease. This is the main conclusion to come out of a study published this week in the Journal of Clinical Oncology ➜http://goo.gl/ZpgWP

The Day in Science - 8th April
Daily coverage of the latest scientific research
1. Environmental change triggers rapid evolution
Environmental change can drive hard-wired evolutionary changes in animal species in a matter of generations. A new study overturns the common assumption that evolution only occurs gradually over hundreds or thousands of years. ➜http://goo.gl/F8vG3
2. Posture provides clue for future disability
The shape of an individual's spinal column may predict his or her risk for nursing home admission or need of home assistance in old age, according to a new article. ➜http://goo.gl/mOa6t

The Day in Science - 7th April
Daily coverage of the latest scientific research
1. Scientists design new adaptive material inspired by tears
Imagine a tent that blocks light on a dry and sunny day, and becomes transparent and water-repellent on a dim, rainy day. Or highly precise, self-adjusting contact lenses that also clean themselves. Or pipelines that can optimize the rate of flow depending on the volume of fluid coming through them and the environmental conditions outside. ➜http://goo.gl/Esdfv
2. Smell Receptors found in Heart, lungs & blood
Your nose may not be the only organ able to sense the enticing aromas of roasted coffee or freshly baked bread. Such sensors are also found in the heart, lungs and blood, research shows. ➜http://goo.gl/02PHB

The Day in Science - 6th April
Major Scientific Developments from the past day
1. Ingredient for Life Common on Jupiter's Icy Moon Europa
An analysis of infrared observations of Europa revealed that hydrogen peroxide is abundant on the ice-covered Jovian moon. If the hydrogen peroxide finds a way beneath Europa's surface and mixes with the moon's liquid water ocean, it could be a vital energy source for any life that might exist there, scientists said. ➜http://goo.gl/J2GIv
2. Light found in cocaine addiction tunnel
Lasers that stimulate targeted neurons ease drug compulsion in rats. Rats that will go to great lengths to get a cocaine fix might blame a group of sluggish neurons. Controlling the problem may come down to a flick of a light switch: Stimulating those brain cells with lasers reduces the addicted rats’ cocaine use. ➜ht... more »

Exhaled breath carries a molecular 'breathprint' unique to each individual
Researchers have shown that exhaled human breath contains a characteristic molecular "fingerprint". Stable, specific 'breathprints' unique to an individual exist and may have applications as diagnostic tools in personalized medicine. The scientists want to use this finding to diagnose diseases based on the chemical analysis of patient's exhaled breath, using highly sensitive and precise instrumental methods.➜ http://goo.gl/EGHi7

With 300,000 mirrors, this is the world’s largest thermal solar plant, under construction in the Mojave desert
Named Ivanpah, the plant will have a capacity of 377 megawatts, which is enough energy to power 140,000 houses. It's hoped that Ivanpah will be operational some time this year.

Engineers have found a way to increase the amount of data fibre optic cables can carry, to the point that a single fibre could transmit all the world's internet traffic.
The researchers re-programmed a network component to make it more energy efficient to use all available data channels, a breakthrough that will help speed up network connections.

An amazing picture from NASA -
The Sakurajima Volcano with Lightning
Why does a volcanic eruption sometimes create lightning?
Magma bubbles so hot they glow shoot away as liquid rock bursts through the Earth's surface from below. The above image is particularly notable, however, for the lightning bolts caught near the volcano's summit.
Why lightning occurs even in common thunderstorms remains a topic of research, and the cause of volcanic lightning is even less clear. Surely, lightning bolts help quench areas of opposite but separated electric charges.
One hypothesis holds that catapulting magma bubbles or volcanic ash are themselves electrically charged, and by their motion create these separated areas. Other volcanic lightning episodes may be facilitated by charge-inducing collisions in volcanic dust. Lightning is usually... more »

The most colorful tree in the world: The Rainbow Eucalyptus tree
The Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta) looks almost like it's been spray painted, but the up to 70-m tall tree is colored this way completely naturally.
Its bark can take on a yellow, green, orange and even purple shading.
