Scientists at Northwestern University (USA) showed in a recent study that you can learn to tell a lie in such a way that it appears identical to the truth. Normally, people take longer and make more mistakes when they tell a lie than when they tell the truth, in essence because they are handling two answers in the mind that contradict each other, and I suppress the most honest answer. However, with proper training the differences disappear.
From April 16 to April 25, both in the southern hemisphere and in the northern hemisphere you will be able to observe the meteor shower of the Lyrids. The meteors in this shower, whose number is unpredictable but are usually bright, come from the tiny particles of ice and rocks that it leaves in space on its journey around the Sun, the comet C / 1861 G1 (Thatcher), discovered in the year 186. Said comet takes approximately 415 years to revolve around the Sun, which is why it is considered a long period.
Six scientific articles published today in the journal Science bring us closer to understanding an ancient ancestor of human beings, Australopithecus sediba, which lived in South Africa two million years ago and which could help solve the enigma about how the Homo branch appeared, to which we belong.
Scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine have shown that the brains of all human beings are activated in exactly the same way when we listen to a new piece of classical music, regardless of previous experiences and individual musical preferences. Specifically, the experiments reveal that listening to a melody for the first time puts into action structures involved in the planning of movement, memory and attention.
Combining neuroscience and chemical engineering, scientists from Stanford University (USA) have created a three-dimensional technique that allows us to see through biological tissues and makes any organ transparent. The method, tested with mouse brains immersed in a hydrogel, and which allows keeping the biological structures intact, has been baptized with the name of CLARITY (clarity, in Spanish).
Researchers at Harvard University (USA) have designed a material that can be made transparent and adjust its wettability characteristics accordingly. As the authors of the work have explained, it is inspired by tears, where individual liquids come together and form a layer over the eyes with multiple functions such as moistening, avoiding dust and protecting.
Researchers at the University of Washington have built the parts for a nuclear fusion powered rocket that could transport an entire crew to Mars in 30 days. For John Slough, director of this NASA-funded project, using the same energy that the sun and stars use is being "one step closer" to the neighboring planet.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
