It's the biggest hoax of our century. We are talking about #chemtrails, which have always been at the center of great conspiracy theories, often very imaginative. The truth was established by the first scientific study conducted by the University of California Irvine, the results of which were published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. According to the researchers, the trails are just simple, explainable chemical and physical phenomena. However, it seems that 17% of the world population believes that the trails are the sign of some ... Read more

Crocodile sperm against infertility

381495 995x663

There are many new methods against male sterility. Lastly, it seems that crocodile sperm could be useful. That's right: Australian scientists conducted a study on marine crocodiles in which they managed to identify a group of proteins that give sperm the ability to move and recognize eggs, and which are very similar to those present in humans. Obviously, the factors that cause sterility can be different, and therefore the solutions must be different. … Read more

The drone eye is copied from insects

eye drones

Mini drones, or drones that have the shape of an insect, are very particular robotic devices, as they manage to enter places inaccessible to humans, photographing what they see and therefore offering a real-time report of the situation. This is a sector in which science is investing a lot, and which is therefore becoming increasingly sophisticated. But how can insect drones see in low light? To give life to… Read more
