Officially, nobody. The issue of owning extraterrestrial space or objects is governed by the United Nations’ Outer Space Treaty, first enacted in 1967. It forms the basis of international space law. Article II of the treaty states “outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of …
Found in 1938 by a German archaeologist, the ‘Baghdad Battery’ could be 2,000 years old, and consists of a clay jar, a copper cylinder and an iron rod. If filled with a weak acid, like vinegar, the combination produces around 1 volt. Yet while even some experts refer to it as a battery, its true origin and purpose remains …
The traditional Inuit diet does include some berries, seaweed and plants, but a carnivorous diet can supply all the essential nutrients, provided you eat the whole animal, and eat it raw. Whale skin and seal brain both contain vitamin C, for example. But an Inuit diet isn’t any healthier than a modern Western diet. Inuits …

The discovery of radio waves ranks among the most astounding achievements of Victorian science, with far-reaching consequences that are still felt today. Their existence was predicted in the 1860s by the brilliant Scottish theoretical physicist James Clerk Maxwell, while he was developing a theory that revealed electricity and magnetism are just different aspects of the …
When you smell something in the air, it’s because scent molecules have dissolved into the wet lining of your nose. Smelling underwater is no different, except that the molecules are already dissolved in the seawater. It’s a myth that sharks can smell a single drop of blood from a mile away. Sharks actually have roughly …
Studies have found that the effects of a cup of coffee or a glass of cola are noticeable after just 10 minutes, but the peak caffeine concentration in the blood occurs after 45 minutes. If you take the same caffeine dose in tablet form, the peak caffeine level will be the same but it takes …

Oddly enough, an Ice Age has gripped the Earth for most of the last 2.6 million years, and we’re currently experiencing an unusually warm break from this so-called Quaternary glaciation, which temporarily lifted around 12,000 years ago. How long the ongoing ‘interglacial’ period will last depends partly on changes in the orbital size, shape and …
Almost everybody experiences at least some acne during adolescence but severe acne, and acne that persists into your twenties and thirties, tends to run in families. How much sunshine you get or how much fatty food you eat doesn’t make any difference. Whether the genetic link is because of oilier skin or different natural skin …
A 2015 study at the University of Alberta, Canada took real-time MRI images of finger joints as they cracked. The researchers found that as the surfaces of the cartilage pull away from each other, they create a site for a tiny bubble of dissolved gas (mostly CO2) to form in the joint’s lubricating fluid. The …

It’s not strictly ‘seeing’ but fish have rows of pressuresensitive organs running down each side of their body called the lateral line, which allows them to sense nearby animals from the pressure changes in the water. Sharks and electric eels also have special sense organs that allow them to detect the tiny electric fields generated …
There are some major research projects that are trying to build silicon computers that work like biological brains. For example, Steve Furber’s SpiNNaker aims to make a supercomputer that can simulate one billion neurons. Some labs are also trying to make real wet biology behave like a computer. Genetically engineered bacteria can be made to …

Apart from the simple fact that introverts prefer to have plenty of time to themselves, and that being denied this can be draining, there’s also evidence that, at a physiological level, introverts respond more strongly to stimulation, such as loud noises, than extroverts do. This means socialising is more likely to leave them exhausted and …
