he planarian is nobody's idea of a genius. A flatworm shaped like a comma, it can be found wriggling through the muck of lakes and ponds worldwide. Its pin-size head has a microscopic structure that passes for a brain. Its two eyespots are set close together in a way that makes it look cartoonishly confused.

In an interesting revelation, a collaborative team of researchers across various institutions in London has shown that rocket scientists and neurosurgeons, who are often held on a high pedestal for their superior intellect are, in fact, no smarter than the general public, BBC reported. When failing to complete day-to-day tasks, one often comes across the term "It's not rocket science".

This would clear up land roughly the size of the United States, the European Union, China, and Australia, combined. Even if farmers opted for more low-impact livestock activities, a study published in Science suggested that the effects of low-impact animal products were generally greater than those of vegetable products. .

For the first time, researchers have observed a break in a single quantum system. The observation--and how they made the observation--has potential implications for physics beyond the standard understanding of how quantum particles interact to produce matter and allow the world to function as we know it.

Human activities are causing dramatic effects on Earth's environmental conditions. From logging to plastic pollution to greenhouse gas emissions, we're changing the living conditions on the planet. These actions, if unchecked, might result in an Earth unsuitable to sustain our current way of life. In fact, a sobering new study suggests that we may already be in the danger zone.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Tissue engineering aims to restore damaged tissues by combining cells, engineering materials, and biologically active molecules. The architecture and composition of the engineered scaffolds that support cell growth are critical for mimicking native tissues. Advances in 3D printing and assembly of multiple materials are enabling more life-like synthetic scaffolds.
