Northwestern University have found a fascinating way to activate problem-solving during sleep. In a study published in the journal  Psychological Science, the researchers explained how they used sound cues to stimulate information processing in sleeping participants. When the volunteers woke up the next day, they were able to work out the brainteasers they failed to solve the previous night. “This study provides yet more evidence that brain processing during sleep is helpful to daytime cognition,” said senior author Mark Beeman of Northwestern’s  Stimulating problem solving wit...

But it turns out, they make for more environmentally friendly “bricks,” too. How it works is agricultural waste materials like straw is combined with mycelium, a network of fungal threads that function as mushrooms’ “roots.” It will be left to grow into a brick for two weeks. The product will then be “cooked” in an oven or treated with chemicals to kill the fungi. The fungi will continue to eat the supporting material that initially gave them str...

UH Manoa, called the footage “groundbreaking.” “We’re observing how these animals are manipulating their prey and preparing the prey for capture. [The footage] is allowing us to gain new insights that we really haven’t been able to do before,” Bejder said.

When the whales leave their foraging grounds and migrate 3,000 miles to Hawaii, they stop eating until their return several months later. Upon their return, the whales are very hungry, so they immediately begin bubble-net fishing....

As part of their study, German and Russian researchers mimicked conditions in the mantle, the layer beneath Earth’s crust where most diamonds are thought to form. By doing so, they found that diamonds grew only when exposed to an electric field. “Our results clearly show that electric fields should be considered as an impor...
