Bacteria could become a future source of electricity

In recent years, researchers have tried to capture the electrical current that bacteria generate through their own metabolism. So far, however, the transfer of the current from the bacteria to a receiving electrode has not been efficient at all. Now, researchers have achieved a slightly more efficient transfer of electrical current. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326132712.htm

Listening to the quantum vacuum

Since the historic finding of gravitational waves from two black holes colliding over a billion light years away was made in 2015, physicists are advancing knowledge about the limits on the precision of the measurements that will help improve the next generation of tools and technology used by gravitational wave scientists. Physicists have now measured quantum ''back action'' in the audio band at room temperature. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190326105730.htm

New virtual reality tool allows you to see the world through the eyes of a tiny primate

Imagine that you live in the rainforests of Southeast Asia, you're a pint-sized primate with enormous eyes and you look a little like Gizmo from the movie, 'Gremlins.' You're a tarsier -- a nocturnal animal whose giant eyes provide you with exceptional visual sensitivity, enabling a predatory advantage. A new virtual reality (VR) software, Tarsier Goggles, simulates a tarsier's vision and illustrates the adaptive advantage of this animal's oversized eyes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190325164228.htm

Earth's deep mantle flows dynamically

As ancient ocean floors plunge over 1,000 km into the Earth's deep interior, they cause hot rock in the lower mantle to flow much more dynamically than previously thought, finds a new study. The discovery answers long-standing questions on the nature and mechanisms of mantle flow in the inaccessible part of deep Earth. This is key to understanding how quickly Earth is cooling, and the dynamic evolution of our planet and others in the solar system. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190325122019.htm
