Are Cell Phones Capable of Changing the Shape of Our Bones?
What if cell phones were so powerful that they could change the shape of our bones? This is a startling new topic that has recently been making the rounds in the media. It stems from a scientific report that claims using phones and tablets can cause serious and long-term changes to our bodies, and not in the way you might think. David Shahar and Mark Sayers, who specialize in biomechanics at Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast, conducted a study in recent years. Biomechanics examines how mechanical principles apply to live organisms, from how humans run to how insects beat their wings.

The Giant Black Hole in Our Galaxy Turned Out to Be Active
We'll explore some of the most bizarre places in our universe. Astronomers discovered that the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy may be leaking, suggesting it may still be active. Researchers used the Hubble Space Telescope to spot a jet pushing into clouds of hydrogen at the center of our galaxy. When a gas cloud gets too close to the black hole, it gets swallowed and then belches small jets of matter. Fermi bubbles might be the result of these belches. There's a rotating neutron star called the black widow pulsar that's consuming its partner. Nuclear pasta is the strongest material in the universe. It can break, but only if you apply 10 billion times the pressure needed to shatter steel. There's a planet where it rains glass, and solar tsunamis tear across the sun's surface. Electric Hyperion, Saturn's moon, is charged with static electricity. There's a rogue planet with auroras drifting through galaxies.

Strange Cave with stairs found in Antarctica
The scientific community is in awe after discovering a fascinating cave with steps in Antarctica. A group of researchers from the University of Chile were scouting the region when they came across the cave. When they looked closer, they saw that it was something much more significant than they had initially assumed—it wasn't just another ice formation. There were stairs leading down into the cave, which was composed of stone.

What is hydraulic fracturing – or fracking ?
Since the Industrial Revolution, our energy consumption has consistently increased. The majority of this energy demand is met by fossil fuels like coal and natural gas. Recently, there has been much debate surrounding a controversial method of extracting natural gas: hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. In simple terms, fracking refers to the extraction of natural gas from deep layers within the Earth. This process involves fracturing porous rock using water, sand, and chemicals to release the trapped natural gas. Although the technique of fracking has been known since the 1940s, it has only experienced a significant "fracking boom" in the last decade, particularly in the United States.

If We Should Stop Sleeping
Losing sleep can have serious consequences. The United Nations considers it a form of torture, and the longer it goes on, the worse it gets. Just 48 hours without sleep is considered extreme sleep deprivation, but you’ll probably start to notice weirdness before that. After 18 hours without sleep, you might feel a little tipsy. Staying awake for 24 hours is the equivalent of drinking three or four drinks in two hours. And after 48 hours without sleep, your BAC might be at 0.1%, which is higher than the legal driving limit in every state. You might feel foggy, less alert, or double vision, almost like you're wearing sleepy beer goggles. That's because sleep deprivation slows down how your brain cells communicate with each other. So even if you're drinking alcohol, drowsiness will increase its effects. And caffeine only works up to a certain point; by the end of a day and a half without sleep, it'll start to wear off.
