May 10, 2026 • 03:25 PM
Interview with expert science communicator Alaina Levine who is the author of 'Networking for Nerds'.
Could you tell us a little bit about your background and connection to science?
I've always had four parallel paths in my life; one was in science, one was in business, one was in the performing arts and one was in written communications. I love doing all four of those things. But what I really loved was science and so I came to the University of Arizona (UoA). I ended up getting two degrees;...

Even Chimps Trust Friends
May 10, 2026 • 03:25 PM
Trust plays an important part in any friendship.
We trust that our friends will be there for us in a time of need, even if it means sacrificing something themselves. This sometimes seems self-destructive, especially if we place our trust within the wrong people but also seems as something that makes us human.
However, a recent study on chimpanzees has shown that trust is not a uniquely human characteristic; showing that chimpanzees place special trust in their friends compared to their...

Computers of the future may have eyes of an insect
May 10, 2026 • 03:25 PM
Hold a pencil in front of you and look at it with one or the other eye closed: it appears to shift a little. That's the key to three-dimensional vision (scientifically called stereopsis): each eye has a slightly different angle of view, then our brains "figure out which bit of the left eye's image corresponds to the same point in space as a given bit of the right eye's image," explains Jenny Read, Professor of Vision Science at the University of Newcastle. It might seem mundane, but it's a...
Why you won't lose weight with exercise alone
May 10, 2026 • 03:25 PM
If magazines and health clubs are to be believed, the new year should coincide with a whole new you. Many gyms see up to a 50% increase in memberships in January and, in some places, up to two thirds of these memberships are cancelled by the end of the month.

Dr. Herman Pontzer of the City University of...
Power for a charger-free world
May 10, 2026 • 03:25 PM
A team of engineers at the University of Washington devised a system that uses regular WiFi to power small electronics at a distance- All without affecting your ability to stream your favorite show or read The Munich Eye. The system, called PoWiFi (short for Power over WiFi), works because wireless signals also carry power. Specifically, the routers broadcast electromagnetic waves on certain frequencies, like a radio, which the antennas in laptops and smartphones collect and turn into an...

This large population of children belonged to six countries- Canada, China, Jordan, Turkey, USA and South Africa, creating a diverse mix.
