Rocking motion improves sleep and memory, studies in mice and people show

Two new studies, one conducted in young adults and the other in mice, add to evidence for the broad benefits of a rocking motion during sleep. In fact, the studies in people show that rocking not only leads to better sleep, but it also boosts memory consolidation during sleep. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190124110844.htm

The first tendril-like soft robot able to climb

Researchers have made the first soft robot mimicking plant tendrils: it is able to curl and climb, using the same physical principles determining water transport in plants. In the future this tendril-like soft robot could inspire the development of wearable devices, such as soft braces, able to actively morph their shape. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190124105317.htm

Semiconductors combine forces in photocatalysis

A significant advance in the photocatalytic activity of conventional materials is demonstrated by a two-dimensional heterostructure comprising nanolayers of two semiconductors: black phosphorus and bismuth tungstate. This catalyst harnesses the energy of visible light to split water and produce hydrogen, and to break down nitrogen monoxide in exhaust gas. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190124115333.htm

People think and behave differently in virtual reality than they do in real life

By studying the phenomenon of contagious yawning, the researchers learned that people's reactions in virtual reality can be quite different from what they are in actual reality. They found that contagious yawning happens in VR, but people's tendency to suppress yawns when they have company or feel they're being watched don't apply in the VR environment. Further, when people immersed in VR are aware of an actual person in the room, they do stifle their yawns. Actual reality supersedes virtual reality. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190124084809.htm

What makes the deadly pufferfish so delectable

When coral species vanish, their absence can imperil surviving corals

As coral species die off, they may be leaving a death spiral in their wake: Their absence could be sapping life from the corals that survive. In a new study, when isolated from other species, corals got weak, died off or grew in fragile structures. The study has shown it is possible to quantify positive effects of coral biodiversity and negative effects of its absence. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190123153519.htm

Planetary collision that formed the moon made life possible on Earth

Climate change tipping point could be coming sooner than we think

A new study confirms the urgency to tackle climate change. While it's known that extreme weather events can affect the year-to-year variability in carbon uptake, and some researchers have suggested that there may be longer-term effects, this study is the first to actually quantify the effects through the 21st century and demonstrates that wetter-than-normal years do not compensate for losses in carbon uptake during dryer-than-normal years, caused by events such as droughts or heatwaves. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190123131700.htm
