Oumuanua Suddenly Showed Up Again and Is Now Heading Towards The Earth! - Chapter 2 Ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the our blog site; De Science Discovery. Today, we shall continue on a fascinating journey that we embarked on last week into the depth of space to unravel the mysterious tale of oumuamua. Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object that visited our solar system, has intrigued scientists worldwide. In this educational article, we will explore Its peculiar characteristics, the theories surrounding its origin, and the impact it has had on our understanding of the universe. Get ready to expand your knowledge and immerse yourself in the wonders of the cosmos. Let’s begin! Mysteries surrounding oumuamua origin and composition Scientist concludes that interstellar object ‘oumuamua must be very elongated because of its dramatic variations in brightness as it tumbled through space. They also conclude that vents on the surface must have emitted jets of gases, giv

Why yawns are contagious—in all kinds of animals - Last Episode

Why yawns are contagious—in all kinds of animals - Last Episode Evolutionary biologist Andrew Gallup explains why we yawn after others Continuation from last episode, Q: Do all animals yawn the same way? A:  We’ve done a number of large-scale comparative studies, where we’ve recorded the yawn durations from over 100 mammalian and avian species. We find that even when controlling for body size, there are very strong positive relationships between how long an animal yawns and how large and complex their brain is. Q: One of the most curious things about yawning is that it can be contagious. Do all animals yawn contagiously? A: We’ve been talking about spontaneous yawns up to this point—those are internally, physiologically driven. Contagious yawns are elicited by seeing or hearing yawns in others, and [they] have only been documented in highly social species, humans included. There’s a wide variability in that response among individuals. Some individuals are very susceptible t

Animal Yawning can be Contagious, Beware!!!

Why yawns are contagious—in all kinds of animals Evolutionary biologist Andrew Gallup explains why we yawn after others The mere sight of another person yawning causes many of us to open our mouths wide in mimicry. And we’re not alone—other social animals, such aschimpanzees and lions, can also catch so-called contagious yawns. It’s likely that all vertebrates yawn spontaneously to regulate inner body processes. Yawning probably arose with the evolution of jawed fishes 400 million or so years ago, says Andrew Gallup, an evolutionary biologist at State University of New York Polytechnic Institute who has spent years trying to figure out why we yawn. In a paper published this month in  Animal Behavior , he reports  some evidence  for how contagious yawns might have evolved to keep us safe.  Science  chatted with Gallup about why yawning is ubiquitous—and useful. This interview has been edited for clarity and length Q: First, let’s address a long-standing myth: Does yawning in

Nanomaterial could enhance diabetes treatment

Nanomaterial could enhance diabetes treatment Conventional treatments for diabetes can increase the risk of neurological problems, an under-researched side effect.  U.S. National Science Foundation -supported scientists based at  The Ohio State University  developed a nanomaterial that binds insulin to a group of amino acids that includes antioxidants. The nanomaterial improved glucose consumption, leading to better brain function. When compared to mice treated with insulin alone, mice treated with the nanomaterial had improved glucose control and cognition outcomes.  The researchers published their findings in  Biomaterials . "We found in mice that our molecule and insulin combined was better than each treatment alone in reversing diabetes-related problems, and produced dramatically improved cognitive performance compared to all other groups," said Ouliana Ziouzenkova, senior author of the study. The beneficial results could be caused by the nanomaterials' ef

Scientists grow plants in soil from the Moon

A first: Scientists grow plants in soil from the Moon      Scientists have grown plants in soil from the Moon, a first in human history and a milestone in lunar and space exploration. In a new paper published in the journal Communications Biology, University of Florida researchers showed that plants can successfully sprout and grow in lunar soil. Their study also investigated how plants respond biologically to the Moon's soil, also known as lunar regolith, which is radically different from soil found on Earth. This work is a first step toward one day growing plants for food and oxygen on the Moon or during space missions. More immediately, this research comes as the Artemis Program plans to return humans to the Moon. "Artemis will require a better understanding of how to grow plants in space," said Rob Ferl, one of the study's authors and a distinguished professor of horticultural sciences in the UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS).

Why the Vikings left Greenland

Rewriting the history books: Why the Vikings left Greenland One of the great mysteries of late medieval history itheorthe Norse, who established successful settlements in southern Greenland in 985, abandoned them in the early 15th century. The consensus view has long been that the colder temperatures of the Little Ice Age helped make the colonies unsustainable. However, new research, led by scientists at the  University of Massachusetts .  It wasn't dropping temperatures that helped drive the Norse from Greenland, but drought. The research was supported by the  U.S. National Science Foundation . "The team found no substantial temperature changes, but found a persistent drying period," says Colene Haffke, a program director in NSF's Office of Polar Programs. When the Norse thrived in Greenland in what they called the Eastern Settlement in 985, they made their way by clearing the land of shrubs and planting grass as pasture for their livestock.
