Morning grogginess may be a thing of the past thanks to bio-alarm clocks designed to wake sleepers at the perfect time. The clocks detect brainwaves or body movements and are programmed to wake sleepers during light sleep, which occurs periodically through the night. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago

What would it take to jam a planet's tectonics? It seems that a huge rise in atmospheric temperatures would do the trick, causing continents to grind to a halt, mountains to stop growing and earthquakes to cease. On Earth, the motion of magma in the mantle pushes continental plates around on the surface, but if the magma became too hot and runny it would lose the grip needed to do this. picked by AutumnLotus 3 months ago

Planning your travel so you don't advance in chunks of more than four hours time difference will allow your body’s clocks to remain coordinated. New research suggests that symptoms of extreme jet lag may result from the body overshooting as it tries to adjust to particularly large leaps forward in time. Book flights accordingly so you can stay awake at that business conference! picked by ybne1else 2 years ago

The first direct evidence of how and when tectonic plates move into the deepest reaches of the Earth is published in Nature today. Scientists hope their description of how plates collide with one sliding below the other into the rocky mantle could potentially improve their ability to assess earthquake risks. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

In the first experiments able to mimic the crushing, searing conditions found in Earth’s lower mantle, and simultaneously probe tell-tale properties of iron, scientists have discovered that material there behaves very differently than predicted by models. The research also points to the likelihood of a new zone deep in the Earth. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago
