It’s Sunday again. Time for some science-y goodness from around the globe!!

Mouse eats scorpion, feels no pain.

The discovery that a type of mouse feels no pain from scorpion venom has revealed a new strategy for developing pain-killing drugs.

Hubble to get boost from gravitational lensing

Astronomers are attempting to boost the imaging prowess of the Hubble Space Telescope by taking advantage of naturally occurring zoom lenses in space.

More animals discovered in the Amazon – including a purring monkey!

At least 441 new species of animals and plants have been discovered over a four year period in the vast, underexplored rainforest of the Amazon, including a monkey that purrs like a cat.

Microbiologists and Astrobiologists work with kids to discover new microbes!

Extremophiles are microbes that have adapted to extreme environments, such as Utah’s Great Salt Lake. But new microorganisms can be found in everyday places, and scientists are showing school kids how to discover and name their own new species.

Ozone hole smaller than average this year

The ozone hole that forms each year in the stratosphere over Antarctica was slightly smaller in 2013 than average in recent decades, according to NASA satellite data.

ESA volunteers slacking off for science

ESA’s volunteers recently finished their third and last session lying in bed in the interest of spaceflight and science. They can return to their normal lives after spending their last 21 days in bed with their feet up – once their bodies have recuperated from the experience.

Mystery of the Van Allen Radiation belts solved!

We’ve known for some time that electrons in the heart of the Van Allen Radiation Belts are accelerated to almost the speed of light.  But until now we didn’t know why…..

Researchers implant false memories in mice

This sounds like the plot of about a half a dozen sci-fi movies… but researchers have attempted to implant false memories in mice and the results are very interesting!

Whispers from space will be clearer thanks to new technology

Picking up extremely weak signals from exploring spacecraft, such as Gaia and BepiColombo requires cooling a detector to within a few degrees of absolute zero. Recently ESA upgraded 3 of their deep space tracking antennas with the new technology.

 Gastric bypass surgery reduces incidents of diabetes

Doctors have known for a while that patients with diabetes who undergo gastric bypass surgery often don’t require insulin shots after surgery. They assumed it was the result of weight loss and change of diet, as it turns out that’s not the full picture…

Hubble spies gold…

Images snapped by the Hubble Space Telescope suggest that gold may have been generated by a violent neutron star collision that also yielded lead, platinum, uranium and other heavy elements.

US authorities plan to cull thousands of barred owls

Federal wildlife officials plan to dispatch armed bird specialists into forests of the Pacific Northwest starting this fall to shoot one species of owl to protect another that is threatened with extinction.
