Possible new octopus species found near Hawaii, scientists say
Scientists say they have discovered what might be a new species of octopus while searching the Pacific Ocean floor near the Hawaiian Islands.On Feb. 27, a team found a small octopus at a depth of about 2.5 miles in the ocean near Necker Island, said Michael Vecchione of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The octopus did not have fins and all of its suckers were in one row on each arm, Vecchione said. The octopus "did not seem very muscular" and was light colored, he said."This..>> view originalSnow on Pluto: What's it made of?
NASA’s New Horizon team has discovered Pluto may be a snowy destination for any future visitors.Images from the New Horizon space probe show what appears to be snowcapped mountains on the surface of the dwarf planet. The white peaks dot a small portion of the diverse landscape that makes up Pluto.One of Pluto’s most identifiable surface features is a swath of dark-colored landmass known as Cthulhu, named after an H.P.

Most electronics can't handle pressure, and even wearable tech does not respond well when stretched to 500 percent of its original size. A new, cell phone-sized artificial skin developed at Cornell University, however, not only stretches under pressure, but also glows all the brighter."It’s actually much, much, much more stretchable than human skin or octopus skin," says Chris Larson, a doctoral candidate and researcher in Cornell's Organic Robotics Lab. "In terms of texture, it’s actually more..>> view original99-million-year-old lizards in amber: A dazzling diversity display
Some 99 million years ago, 12 unsuspecting lizards stepped or fell into sticky tree resin and couldn't tear themselves loose in the forests of what is now Myanmar. Over time that resin fossilized into amber, preserving the little lizards for scientists to study later.Now, researchers are looking to these prehistoric golden chunks to better understand how lizards have evolved. There was a diverse population of lizards living in the region at the time, the scientists report in a new paper publish..>> view originalThe Relationship Between Rocket Science and Human Resource Management

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrate annually from the Antarctic Peninsula to peek into the Colombian Pacific Ocean coast, with an approximate distance of 8,500 km, to give birth and nurse their young. Humpback whales have a life cycle of 50 years or so and is about 18 meters.

AI Twitterbot Donald Trump News – It looks like Donald Trump is getting close to be one of the nominee for the 2016 elections from the Republican side step by step. This also led to some issues such as a bot named Deep Drumpf has been launched for Twitter. This bot serves for only one purpose, it tries to post tweets that are similar to Donald Trump by using an artificial intelligence. It is hard to believe but the results are too similar to the tweets of Donald Trump.

Think augmented and virtual reality headsets are just for games? NASA astronaut Scott Kelly thinks otherwise after spending some quality time with Microsoft's HoloLens aboard the International Space Station during his recent 340-day mission. At a press conference yesterday, the astronaut said: "It worked great. I was really surprised. We messed around with it for, like, two hours, and immediately, I sensed, this is a capability we could use right now." Unlike virtual reality headsets, such as t..>> view original
