NOSTRADAMUS is hailed as the world's greatest prophetic mind, with three predictions people think he got right. Did he predict the coronavirus outbreak?
WALTHAM, Mass. (AP) — The man who designed some of the world’s most advanced dynamic robots was on a daunting mission: programming his creations to dance to the beat with a mix of fluid, explosive and expressive motions that are almost...
A research team has identified a new species of praying mantis thanks to imprints of its fossilized wings. It lived in Labrador, in the Canadian Subarctic around 100 million years ago, during the time of the dinosaurs, in the Late...
A study has found that obese Yucatan mini pigs have naturally occurring sleep apnea and that MRI scans taken while they're in sedated sleep can be used to gain new insights into what happens in the airways during sleep apnea episodes via...
KEY WEST, Fla (AP) — Feral chickens run free in Key West, just one of those things that keep the Southernmost City charmingly weird. But what's delightful here and there becomes a nuisance when they're everywhere. With the population...
A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE may not be on the cards any time soon - or so we hope - but scientists have now revealed the best place to live if the dead were to rise up.
Are you fed up with your kids being inside all the time? Kids are so lazy these days, hogging the couch watching tv, or hiding in their room playing computer. The increase in the use and availability of technology these days has made it...

BATH, Maine (AP) — The commercial fishery for herring has suffered in recent years due to new restrictions, but those same rules could benefit some of Maine's most beloved birds — puffins. Atlantic puffins, known for their colorful beaks...
A study of spitting cobras reveals how a combination of venom components have evolved to create an instantly painful venom, not once, but on three separate occasions.
Fast-spiking neurons in the basal ganglia allow monkeys to associate different values with the same objects based on the surrounding environment. Blocking input from these cells inhibited learning of new scene-based values, but did not...
The fossilized insect is tiny and its genital capsule, called a pygophore, is roughly the length of a grain of rice. It is remarkable, scientists say, because the bug's physical characteristics -- from the bold banding pattern on its...
It is commonly known that 80-85% of all people are visuals. Such individuals prefer to receive diverse information from the images. That fact explains the multi-year popularity of artists and the...
PARIS (AP) — Frenchwoman Jeanne Pouchain has an unusual problem. She's officially dead. She has been trying for three years to prove that she is alive. The 58-year-old woman says she lives in constant fear, not daring to leave her house...
DONALD TRUMP was poised to win the US election last November, at least according to scores of modern-prophets and Christian evangelists. So what went wrong?
Scientists have developed a metamaterial whose mechanical properties can be reprogrammed on demand and whose internal structure can be modified by applying a magnetic field.
Researchers simulated a tailgating situation with a small group of overweight but healthy men and examined the impact of the eating and drinking on their livers using blood tests and a liver scan.
In the Social Dilemma, the people who developed the algorithms for social media and streaming services insist that we’re all powerless against their influence. The algorithm is too powerful; they explain. We can’t help but succumb to its...
