Exoskeleton Science: Mechanics and Electronics 2023

Exoskeleton science has fascinated researchers for decades. Exoskeletons have uses in healthcare, the military, and industry as technology advances. Wearable exoskeletons combine mechanics and electronics to improve strength, endurance, and movement. This article covers exoskeleton science, emphasizing mechanics and electronics. General Electric created the first exoskeleton prototype, the Hardiman, in the 1960s. This early type […]

Scientists Reveal the Secret to “Living and Breathing” Energy-Efficient Buildings 2023

Termite mounds’ “egress complex” helps improve building interior climates. Some of the 2,000 termite species help maintain ecosystems. The termite genera Amitermes, Macrotermes, Nasutitermes, and Odontotermes build massive eight-meter-high mounds. Natural selection refined these structures over tens of millions of years. How might these hardworking insects help architects and engineers? A revolutionary Frontiers in Materials […]

‘Museum of the Moon’ during Kerala Global Science Festival 2023

The Global Science Festival Kerala (GSFK), organized by Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE) in collaboration with state and international science agencies, will showcase science, technology, and art, including the “Museum of the Moon,” the organizers said. Amuseum ArtScience, a trust that organizes the festival with the government, said the inaugural GSFK, […]

Primate masturbation boosts reproductive success 2023

New study undermines the idea that masturbation is unhealthy or a result of sexual excitement. All primates—including humans—masturbate. Masturbation is an old feature in monkeys that promotes reproductive success and decreases the risk of sexually transmitted illnesses in men. 400 sources, including 246 academic publications, were used to create the biggest primate masturbation database. Masturbation […]

Mars Express: A 20-Year Discovery Journey 2023

Europe’s first Mars mission, Mars Express, launched on June 2, 2003. In December, the spacecraft entered orbit around Mars to research the planet’s atmosphere and temperature, structure, mineralogy, and geology, and seek for water. To explore surface, subsurface, atmosphere, and more, the mission carried eight cutting-edge sensors. The project has traveled 1.1 billion miles over […]

New Study Shows Modern Humans Still Have Neanderthal DNA 2023

Neanderthal genes make about 1–4% of the genomes of contemporary humans whose ancestors left Africa, but how much they still influence human features is unknown. Cornell University led a multi-institutional collaboration that developed computational genetic techniques to study the genetic effects of 50,000-year-old interbreeding between non-African people and Neanderthals. (The study only applies to descendants […]

NASA names every Mars study site 2023

NASA’s Perseverance rover is exploring rock outcrops near Mars’ Belva Crater. NASA’s Curiosity rover sampled “Ubajara” 2,300 miles (3,700 kilometers) distant. The drill site has a moniker, but the crater has a name. NASA missions name every boulder, pebble, and rock surface they explore. “The No. 1 reason we pick all these names is to […]
